Different Types of Generator and its Uses. A generator is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, providing power when electricity from the grid is not available. The mechanical energy required to drive the generator can come from various sources, such as an internal combustion engine, a steam turbine, a wind turbine

Wind turbines can rotate about either a horizontal or a vertical axis, the former being both older and more common. They can also include blades or be bladeless. Household-size vertical designs produce less power and are less common. Large three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the blades upwi
