A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, providing a reliable source of power during outages or in areas where the electrical grid is unavailable. Generators are essential for maintaining power in various applications, ranging from emergency backup for homes and businesses to providing power in remote locations or during industrial operations. They operate by using a fuel source—such as gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or propane—to drive an engine, which then turns an alternator to produce electricity.
