portable generator
Movable electricity source
A portable generator is a fuel-powered device that produces electricity and can be moved from place to place.
Unlike permanently installed generators, portable units are compact enough to transport by hand or vehicle.
They provide backup power during outages or electricity in remote locations: We brought a portable generator to the campsite.
Most run on gasoline, though propane and dual-fuel models exist.
