    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    An engine-generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of self-contained equipment. The engines used are usually piston engines, but gas turbines can also be used, and there are even hybrid diesel-gas units, called dual-fuel units.

  5. Thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator

    Thermoelectric generators are primarily used as remote and off-grid power generators for unmanned sites. They are the most reliable power generator in such situations as they do not have moving parts (thus virtually maintenance-free), work day and night, perform under all weather conditions and can work without battery backup.

  6. Turbo generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_generator

    A turbo generator is an electric generator connected to the shaft of a turbine (water, steam, or gas) for the generation of electric power. [ note 1 ] Large steam-powered turbo generators provide the majority of the world's electricity and are also used by steam-powered turbo-electric ships.
