Phrases 28
- random number generatorA device or algorithm that generates numbers at random or apparently at random. In many cases they actually select successive numbers deterministically and are more technically termed pseudorandom number generator.
- Key generator
- Code generator
- wind generatorA wind-driven generator, working on the same principle as a wind turbine but usually on a smaller scale, used for example for charging batteries on sailing boats.
- engine-generatorA standalone machine that combines an electrical generator with an engine.
- clock generatora circuit that produces a timing signal for use in synchronizing a circuit's operation.
- character generatorA digital machine for superimposing text onto a video.
- traffic generatorA destination that generates traffic, other than a populated place, such as a park, museum, or university.
- hydroelectric generatorA low-speed electric generator driven by water turbines.
- steam generatorA type of boiler fitted in a diesel locomotive or another rail vehicle, which provided steam heating in steam-heated passenger trains that had previously been hauled by steam locomotives.
- turbo-generatorAlternative form of turbogenerator: A turbine directly connected to an electric generator in order to generate power.
- pseudorandom number generatorA device or algorithm that deterministically produces a succession of values that appear in an unpredictable sequence or apparently random order.
- diesel generatorAny electricity generator powered by a diesel engine
- function generatorAn electronic device used to generate a signal representing the periodic value of a given mathematical function, especially sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waveforms
- gas generatorA mechanical device that uses a chemical reaction to produce a gas as an output.
- solar generatorA battery box, capable of providing power in amounts like a generator. It is not a generator, not generating any electricity from fuel, merely storing power previously charged in the unit. The power stored in the unit does not necessarily …
- Van de Graaff generatorA device in which an electric charge is built up on a large spherical electrode by means of a rapidly moving belt.
- Marx generatorAn electric circuit that generates a high-voltage pulse from a low-voltage DC supply, used in high-energy physics experiments and to simulate the effects of lightning.
- chemical oxygen generatorA metal canister containing a superoxide, perchlorate or similar compound that releases oxygen when ignited
- vortex generatorAn aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane usually attached to a lifting surface (or airfoil, such as an aircraft wing) or a rotor blade of a wind turbine.
- Kipp generatorSynonym of Kipp's apparatus: A piece of laboratory glassware used to generate demonstration amounts of hydrogen sulfide and other gases, by the controlled reaction of a liquid with a solid.
- pseudo-random number generatorAlternative form of pseudorandom number generator: A device or algorithm that deterministically produces a succession of values that appear in an unpredictable sequence or apparently random order.
- Cockcroft-Walton generatorAn electric circuit that generates a high direct current voltage from a low-voltage alternating current.
- linear congruential generatorAn algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation.
- economic scenario generatorA software tool that creates a set of economic assumptions (such as interest rates, inflation rates, investment returns) for use in a stochastic model.
Compound words 5
- autogeneratorSynonym of autoproducer (“enterprise that produces a resource incidentally to its primary activity”).
- turbogeneratorA turbine directly connected to an electric generator in order to generate power.
- aerogeneratorA generator powered by wind, a wind turbine.
- microgeneratorA very small generator
- nanogeneratorAny electrical generator whose scale is measured in nanometers; they typically create electricity from the random movements of their surroundings.
