2. Who invented generators?
Michael Faraday invented generator in the year 1831.
Michel Faraday was born in the year 1791 at Newington Butts,England.
He was also known for his “ Faraday's law of induction”.
He died in the year 1867 at the age of 75.
5. TYPES OF GENERATORS
Portable Generators
Portable generators are found to be quite small, compact as well as easy to carry
that are found working typically by the use of gasoline, propane, or solar energy as
these are referred to be those fuel sources which are found to be readily available.
Standby Generators
A standby generator is referred to as that generator which is usually costlier and
puts it into an entirely different category other than that of the portable
generators. A standby generator is known to be a semi-permanent feature at any
property as it cannot be moved portably as compared to any other generator
Inverter Generators
Inverter generators are referred to as the home generators or generators which are
usually whole and sole for the homes. But at the same time they differ in a way as
they are found producing the electricity too.
Diesel Generators
Diesel generators are referred to as those generators which are found being fuelled
by diesel instead of gasoline. Most of the generators in this category are found to
be similar to the standby generators, as there are some inverter as well as portable
diesel generators out there.
6. TYPES OF GENERATORS
Gasoline Generators
Gasoline generators are referred to as those generators which can run on a variety
of different fuels, wherein one of the most common fuel is found to be used similar
to the portable as well as the inverter generators that is gasoline. Any generator
which is found being operated on gasoline can clearly fall under this type of
category.
Solar Generators
Solar generators are found to be one of the most expensive generators in terms of
installation wherein the fuel is known to be renewable as well as free. These
generators are found responsible for being ideal for the purpose of camping or for
any emergency source of electricity.
Natural Gas Generators
Natural gas generators are referred to as those which are found running on natural
gas and also tends to fall into the standby generator category although there seems
be to some portable generators which are found working on natural gases. In
comparison to diesel and gasoline generators, natural gas generators are found
producing a significantly lower rate of emissions, which makes them a very great
choice for backup power of the entire property.
7. TYPES OF GENERATORS
Hydrogen Generators
Hydrogen generators are found to be relatively new to the market as hydrogen
generators are not easily found. These generators are found being fuelled by
hydrogen gas and are thus designed with the internal fuel cells in order to help in
managing the fuel efficiency of any particular system. There are advantages of
purchasing a hydrogen generator as it is found producing a very high power output
as compared to any other generator, and are also found to be sturdy as well as
pretty resistant in order to impact the damage.
8. OUTDOOR GENERATORS USE
1. Phase 3 portable generators are used in construction sites, offices , malls ,
buildings , etc.
2. Industrial generator generates 2500kv of electricity .
