It's a motor . Just kidding, .

From webster.

Main Entry: 1mo·tor
Pronunciation: \ˈmō-tər\
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from movēre to move

1 : one that imparts motion; specifically : prime mover
2 : any of various power units that develop energy or impart motion: as a : a small compact engine b : internal combustion engine; especially : a gasoline engine c : a rotating machine that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy

I always say motor, but I digress. I believe both are correct.

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

Yea they actually are both correct in a definition but in school motors are hydrolic or electric and so on not gas/fuel powers
In the tech relm it kinda gets confusing

[Lsick7]

I understand, in the tech field it should be used to decipher this from that, that would get annoying.
