2. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit.

4. The Toro Company - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Toro_Company

   Toro began shipping golf course maintenance products worldwide by 1928, and released the first power mower for homeowners in 1935. [5] In the 1940s, Toro ceased production of commercial products to focus on manufacturing equipment for World War II. [6] It also planned additional manufacturing space in anticipation of post-war production. [7]

5. Radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope...

   Diagram of an RTG used on the Cassini probe. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG), sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect.

6. 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.

7. Motor–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor–generator

   In principle, any electrical generator can also serve as an electric motor, or vice versa. In hybrid vehicles and other lightweight power systems, a "motor/generator" is a single electric machine that can be used as an electric motor or a generator, converting between electrical power and mechanical power.
