Motor control center
A motor control center (MCC) is a floor-mounted assembly of enclosed vertical sections sharing a common power bus, housing combination motor starters in plug-in buckets for centralized control.
Motor current signature analysis
Motor current signature analysis (MCSA) is a noninvasive condition-monitoring method that diagnoses electric motor faults, such as broken rotor bars and bearing defects, from the supply current spectrum.
Motor glider
A motor glider is a glider fitted with an engine or electric motor, allowing it to launch itself or sustain flight while still soaring unpowered.
Motor oil
Motor oil, also called engine oil, is the lubricant for internal combustion engines, made of mineral or synthetic base stock blended with up to 30 percent additives.
Motor schema
A motor schema is the basic unit of motor behavior in a behavior-based robot control method introduced by Ronald C. Arkin in 1987, where behaviors sum their vector outputs.
Motor vehicle
A motor vehicle, also called a motorized or automotive vehicle, is a power-driven road vehicle that carries people or goods under its own mechanical power, including cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles.
Motor Vehicle Safety Act
The Motor Vehicle Safety Act, the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, is the US federal law authorizing motor vehicle safety standards, enforced by NHTSA.
Motorcycle
A motorcycle is a two-wheeled motor vehicle powered by an engine or electric motor, used for personal transport, sport, and commercial delivery, with over 500 million registered worldwide.
Motorcycle conspicuity
Motorcycle conspicuity is how detectable a motorcycle and rider are to other road users; small size and a single light make motorcycles easy to overlook, particularly at intersections.
Motorcycle engine
A motorcycle engine is an internal combustion engine, or increasingly an electric motor, that powers a two-wheeled motor vehicle, most often a four-stroke gasoline engine.
Motorcycle helmet
A motorcycle helmet is protective headgear worn by motorcyclists that reduces the risk of death and head injury in a crash, with a rigid outer shell, energy-absorbing liner, and chin strap.
Motorcycle helmet law
A motorcycle helmet law legally requires motorcyclists to wear helmets. Laws are universal, partial for riders under 18 or inexperienced, or absent, as in Illinois, Iowa, and New Hampshire.
Motorcycle protective clothing
Motorcycle protective clothing is specialized garments and armor, including jackets, pants, gloves, and boots, that reduce rider injury in a crash by resisting abrasion and absorbing impact energy.
Motorcycle Safety Foundation
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) is an American not-for-profit created by motorcycle manufacturers in 1972 that develops rider training curricula and licensing tests used by most states.
Motorcycle trials
Motorcycle trials is an off-road motorcycle sport in which riders ride marked sections without putting a foot down, rewarded for balance and clutch control rather than speed.
Motorhome
A motorhome, also known as a motor caravan, is a self-propelled road vehicle built to provide living accommodation, with permanently installed sleeping, cooking, and storage facilities.
Motorland Aragón
Motorland Aragón is a motorsport venue near Alcañiz, in Aragón, Spain, whose racing circuit has hosted the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix since 2010, alongside a karting track.
