generator
Backup electricity source
A generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical power.
Portable generators supply backup electricity during outages; industrial generators power entire buildings.
In computing, a generator is a function that yields values one at a time rather than returning them all at once.
More broadly, anything that produces or creates something is its generator: The scandal became a generator of endless headlines.
