diesel generators
Fuel-burning electricity makers
Diesel generators are machines that convert diesel fuel into electrical power, combining a diesel engine with an electrical generator.
They serve as primary power sources in remote locations or as backup systems during outages: The hospital's diesel generators kicked in when the grid went down.
Common at construction sites, data centers, and in regions with unreliable electricity.
