what is a generator?

Generator; are machines that convert any type of energy into electrical energy.

These devices include machines that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, batteries that convert chemical energy into electrical energy, photoelectric cells that convert light energy into electricity, and thermoelectric generators that convert heat energy into electrical energy.

 

Today, the first thing that comes to mind when talking about a generator is the machinery that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

 

As these generators can work with wind or hydroelectric energies, diesel, gasoline or natural gas fuels are used in the generators we use in daily life.

 

The most preferred generator type in industrial areas are diesel fuel generators.
