engines, not motors
engines use a fuel
motors use electromagnetism

"Youth in Asia"...I don't see anything wrong with that.
Don't care what Princeton wrote. Universities like to make their own definitions, like the University of Delaware who says only white people can be racist. Physics professors note the differences between engines and motors. One utilizes a fuel for combustion, the other uses alternate energy conversion processes.

An engine uses an internal power source to acheive work. A motor uses an external power source to acheive work. Normally, a motor refers to an electrical device...and an engine usually refers to the internal combustion type...
However some definitions say an engine is a type of motor. They are usually referred to as separate things, especially when dealing with Physics and Engineering, as most professors note.
Sorry we have no comment on your actual question.

A car has a starter motor, a windscreen wiper motor, windscreen washer motor, a fuel pump motor and motors to adjust the wing mirrors from within the car and a (motorised) radio antenna - but the power plant that propels the car is an engine. Again an aircraft will have many motors installed for operation of its many auxiliary operations and services, but aircraft are propelled by engines, in this case, jet engines.

In everyday, non-technical usage the words have much the same meaning. But they have such clearly defined and fixed compounds (except in the rocket case) that they can’t be thought of as entirely interchangeable. The magazine article argues that the difference is that engines contain their own fuel or are part of a highly integrated engine-fuel system, whereas a motor draws on externally supplied energy. That’s the rule given in the Oxford English Dictionary, but on reflection it seems not wholly satisfactory. It doesn’t work for outboard motor or rocket motor for example. And it doesn’t explain why the two words should have been applied in this way. For that we have to look into their history...
By the time that vehicles driven by internal combustion engines had begun to appear in any numbers, at the very end of the century, both words had become well established in common usage. The driving force was obviously an engine, which consumed fuel to provide motive power. But why the conveyance as a whole was termed a motor vehicle is less obvious.
But to get back to the question at hand:
