4. Write a technical description of some device for other students to guess what has been described.
This machine transforms electric energy into mechanical energy. It usually consists of a stationary element called a stator, made up of two or more electromagnetic poles fastened equidistantly around the inside periphery of an iron frame and of a rotating element mounted on a shaft called a rotor, or armature. The rotor consists of a steel core supporting a number of parallel conductors in the form of bars, straps, or coils.
