The different generator components.

Generators are components used to generate electricity using mechanical power.

The "RPS" node is used to provide mechanical power to be consumed. The "Output" node displays the amount of electricity generated, measured in sWatts.

Efficiency

Generators are only ~50% effective at converting mechanical power to electricity (when compared to the electricity used by a motor). This makes them unsuitable for diesel-electric drive systems.
