Prime Mover

Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Prime Mover shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Prime Mover offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Prime Mover at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Prime Mover? Wrong! If the Prime Mover is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Prime Mover then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Prime Mover? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Prime Mover and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Prime Mover wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Prime Mover then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Prime Mover site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Prime Mover, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

The term prime mover is an English translation of the Latin Primum Mobile. The original latin refers to a "first cause" of motion in the theological sense, and was used during the scholastic era to explain how God was the cause of all movement and hence of all life in the world.

It is used nowadays to describe the main power source which supports a number of subsidiary functions, commonly in industrial applications. For instance, the engine which pulls a semi-trailer is sometimes referred to as a prime mover, while a catalogue of large electric motors for powering industrial equipment might be titled 'Prime Movers'. The implication is that the 'Prime Mover' is the ultimate source of all mechanical movement in the system. As an example, in the case of an automobile, the internal combustion engine is the prime mover whilst associated equipment such as the electrical generator, power steering pump, fuel pump etc. are secondary movers.

The term may also be used to describe an entire vehicle in the case of ballast tractors, semi-trailer tractor units, in Australian English and in military settings. In a military context, the unit used to haul an artillery piece is generally referred to as its prime mover. For instance, the United States Army refers to their Humvees used to tow howitzers as prime movers.

In Diesel-electric locomotives, prime mover refers to the Diesel engine that drives the generator or alternator. In this case, the traction motors are considered part of the transmission (mechanics) rather than prime movers themselves.

The term in contemporary language As can be seen above, the term proves quite versatile. Besides the mechanical connotation of the term (engines, vehicles), and the cosmological/theological/philosophical meaning (god/goddess/principle in philosophy; cf. Aristotle), the term 'prime mover' may be used generally to describe any important centre of power which services subsidiary services.

The term may be used in the context of human beings. Individuals can be described as prime movers (inventors, industrial or military leaderscf. "The Prime Movers - Traits of the great wealth creators", Edwin A. Locke, 2000) as well as groups of people (companiescf. "Prime Movers - Define your business or have somebody define it against you", Rafael Ramirez and Johan Wallin, 2000) or creative groups of artists.cf. "Prime Movers - The makers of modern dance in America" Joseph H. Mazo, 2000

The mindset in this rather psychological or sociological application can be named prime movership.cf. "Reframing Landscape - How the map changes the landscape", Richard Norman, 2001The term is not only in use on the psychological side; it also can be found in the context of physics. Muscles, which are decisive for sports performance or crafts are called prime movers.cf. "Prime Mover - A natural history of muscle", by Steven Vogel, 2001 The human brain is being described as the prime mover for the evolution of mankind.

Hence, various publications make use of the term prime mover in their titles.

An important aspect is the use as a meme, which most probably emerged with industrialization, where machines/prime movers themselves became the driving force of progress (machining tools, drives, locomotives, ships, cars, etc.).

Groups or individuals use the notion as a corporate or individual claim, to be prime movers in their line of business or activity (examples: a psychedelic band of the 1980s: The Prime Movers, a world leading producer of large Diesel engines; MAN B&W Diesel AG, companies removing furniture; Prime Movers etc.).

The driving force within an individual or group of people or a state of being is sometimes named with the Latin term of a primum movens or "primum mobile".Prime Movership stands for the quality of being a prime mover, i. e. the first to move, to create or to reach a state, which has not been reached by many or others at all before. Prime Movership has been specifically defined as "the mind-set of value creation".cf. Richard Norman, "Reframing Business - How the Map changes the landscape", 2001
