   [8] [9] Using portable generators in garages, or near open windows or air conditioning vents can also result in carbon monoxide poisoning. [10] Additionally, it is important to prevent backfeeding when using a portable engine generator, which can harm utility workers or people in other buildings. Before turning on a diesel- or gasoline-powered ...

   A generator can also be driven by human muscle power (for instance, in field radio station equipment). Protesters at Occupy Wall Street using bicycles connected to a motor and one-way diode to charge batteries for their electronics [22] Human powered electric generators are commercially available, and have been the project of some DIY ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_generator

   Standby generators. A standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates automatically. [1] Within seconds of a utility outage an automatic transfer switch senses the power loss, commands the generator to start and then transfers the electrical load to the generator. The standby generator begins supplying power to the circuits. [2]

   While net-metering is a very efficient mechanism for using excess energy generated by a micro-CHP system, it does have disadvantages: while the main generating source on the electrical grid is a large commercial generator, net-metering generators "spill" power to the smart grid in a haphazard and unpredictable fashion. However, the effect is ...
