electrical generator
Current-producing machine
An electrical generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical current.
Generators work by rotating a conductor through a magnetic field, inducing current flow.
They range from massive turbines in power plants to portable units for backup power: The storm knocked out power, so we ran the electrical generator all night.
