# Motors

There are two types of motors, which are controlled in different ways:

1. Electric motor: This motor can only be driven by an electric current. Wire up the motor to an electric circuit to make it rotate.
   - Electric motors can be used in a 2D space or a PCB 3D space only. In a PCB 3D space, the electric motor appears in both 2D and 3D. The 2D view can be connected to electronic parts; the 3D view can be connected to mechanical parts.
2. Constant speed motor: This motor does not require a source of power. You can alter its direction and speed in the Properties pane.
   - The constant speed motor can be used in a Mechanisms 3D space only.
