The word machine is a word that has a recurring use in our language since it names the apparatus, artifact, composed of a set of mechanisms and parts, both fixed and mobile, whose movement allows directing, regulating, or failing that, changing the energy to carry out work with a specific mission.
Device that performs a job or task
The distinctive feature of these devices is that they are capable of admitting various forms of energy and then modifying them in order to achieve a specific effect.
Components
Although it may vary depending on the type of machine in question, most machines have the following components: motor (It is the device that facilitates the modification of energy to achieve the work for which the machine is intended), mechanism (These are mechanical type elements that what they do is transform the energy sent by the motor into the desired effect), frame (It is an essential rigid structure to ensure the link between all the elements and it also has the mission of supporting both the mechanism and the motor) and safety components (They do not contribute anything to the work of the machine per se because its mission is to protect the people who work with the machine; at this point and to add to the required safety conditions, it is essential to carry out periodic maintenance checks that guarantee the good performance of the machine).
Machine classes
There are different types of machines in relation to the source of energy that moves them to carry out their work, such as: manual machines (this type of machine needs human hands to work), electric machines (transforms kinetic energy into another type of energy, such as: generators, motors and transformers), thermal machines (They are those that allow the exchange of energy from an axis that causes the intervening fluid to vary its density when it passes through the machine) and hydraulic machines (It is a type of fluid machine that is guided by the properties of incompressible fluids).
Locomotive
On the other hand, the concept is used as a synonym for locomotive, which is precisely that machine, which is mounted on wheels and has the mission of dragging the wagons that make up a train.
Trains are very important means of public transport for citizens since it facilitates the transfer to long, medium and short distances, and also the transfer of goods. }
Electrical devices that offer services or products after placing money on them
Also to those electronic type devices that work by placing money on them and in this way offer a product and a service.
For example, a coffee machine allows us to buy this drink after entering the cost of it, normally you can choose between different coffee options and choose the amount of sugar that we want to add to the drink.
The washing machines that are installed in the laundrys work by placing money on them.
Once the established amount is correctly entered, the machine will wash the garments.
The Industrial Revolution and the introduction of the machine change all current schemes in terms of production
Machines occupy a relevant place in history and in the evolution that they especially favored in the field of industry.
The Industrial Revolution that occurred in England in the 19th century marked a before and after in terms of economic growth after years of stagnation in this regard, as a consequence of the possibility of modifying production conditions.
And the steam engine, which relied on natural energy instead of human, involved mass consumption and gave way to the creation of the first factories.
The use of the machine in land and maritime transport had a positive impact on marketing, as well as the subsequent appearance of the railroad, which undoubtedly marked a boom in terms of communications.
On the other hand, this process produced many other consequences and transformations that changed the uses and customs, including urban growth, and the development of works and public services.
There are also popular expressions that contain this word such is the case of a machine and a full machine, which are used to refer that something has the assistance of devices and when something is done very fast, at full speed, respectively.
