gas generator
Fuel-burning electricity source
A gas generator is a device that produces gas, either for direct use or to power other mechanisms.
In rocketry, it's a combustion chamber that creates hot gases to drive turbopumps.
In chemistry, it's laboratory apparatus for producing gases like hydrogen or chlorine.
The term also applies to devices that inflate airbags or life rafts through rapid gas release.
