One synonym is "dynamo" which is often used to describe generators that produce direct current (DC) electricity. "Alternator" is another synonym that is similar to a generator but produces alternating current (AC) electricity. "Power plant" is another synonym that can be used to describe a large facility that generates electricity. "Turbine" is another synonym that is often used to describe the part of a generator that produces power by rotating mechanical energy. "Engine" is another synonym that is commonly used to describe the source of mechanical energy that drives the generator.

Famous quotes with Generators

  • All I know about thermal pollution is that if we continue our present rate of growth in electrical energy consumption it will simply take, by the year 2000, all our freshwater streams to cool the generators and reactors.
    David R. Brower
  • Nearly all of our existing power sources are generators which use a heat cycle. This includes our coal, oil, and gas fired utilities, our automobiles, trucks, and trains, and even our nuclear fission utility power plants.
    Wilson Greatbatch
  • I usually create sounds and have different generators running over it. You know you can open a word-file as a picture or the other way round. I do the same with sounds.
    Alva Noto
  • Most electronic equipment uses the principle of amplification. You need filters, modulators and mixing equipment which have gain stages. By piling these components up, I was able to work without any sound generators and I made several pieces in that manner.
    David Tudor
  • The Feraliminal Lycanthropizer is a low frequency thanato-auric wave generator. Known for its use by the Nazis and for its animalizing effects on human subjects tested within measurable vibratory proximity, the machine electrically generates two subsonic sinewaves—one 3hz, the other 9hz. Together, these two frequencies (one acting as carrier, the other as program) generate a lower third, .56hz. In addition to these sinewave generators, the machine contains four tape loops of unduplicable lengths, each containing textual material. Two of these loops operate below the threshold of decipherability (one forward, the other backward), and two operate far beyond the opposite threshold (also one forward, the other backward). The effect of the subsonic sinewaves on the sound of these human voice recordings is one of organic ululation.
    David Woodard
