Phrases 25
- diesel generatorsplural of diesel generator: Any electricity generator powered by a diesel engine
- steam generatorsplural of steam generator: A 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-generatorsplural of turbo-generator: A turbine directly connected to an electric generator in order to generate power.
- wind generatorsplural of wind generator: A 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.
- vortex generatorsplural of vortex generator: An 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.
- chemical oxygen generatorsplural of chemical oxygen generator: A metal canister containing a superoxide, perchlorate or similar compound that releases oxygen when ignited

- hydroelectric generatorsplural of hydroelectric generator: A low-speed electric generator driven by water turbines.
- pseudo-random number generatorsplural of pseudo-random number generator: A device or algorithm that deterministically produces a succession of values that appear in an unpredictable sequence or apparently random order.
- pseudorandom number generatorsplural 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.
- linear congruential generatorsplural of linear congruential generator: An algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation.
- character generatorsplural of character generator: A digital machine for superimposing text onto a video.
- clock generatorsplural of clock generator: a circuit that produces a timing signal for use in synchronizing a circuit's operation.
- CW generatorsplural of CW generator: An electric circuit that generates a high direct current voltage from a low-voltage alternating current.
- engine generatorsplural of engine generator: A standalone machine that combines an electrical generator with an engine.
- finite generatorsplural of finite generator: A sequence generator which has a finite description of the internal generator state.
- function generatorsplural of function generator: An electronic device used to generate a signal representing the periodic value of a given mathematical function, especially sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waveforms
- gas generatorsplural of gas generator: A mechanical device that uses a chemical reaction to produce a gas as an output.
- traffic generatorsplural of traffic generator: A destination that generates traffic, other than a populated place, such as a park, museum, or university.
- Marx generatorsplural of Marx generator: An 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.
- economic scenario generatorsplural of economic scenario generator: A software tool that creates a set of economic assumptions (such as interest rates, inflation rates, investment returns) for use in a stochastic model.
- Kipp generatorsplural of Kipp generator: 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.
