What does (electric Generator Or Generator) mean? Let's check what the community at Wikipedia thinks
På svenska: Generator (latin: generator, 'upphov, skapare'), även kallad dynamo (engelska: dynamo-electric machine, efter grekiskans dynamis, 'kraft'), är en maskin som omvandlar rörelseenergi till elektrisk energi. Vid omvandlingen tillämpas induktionsprincipen/generatorprincipen, för när en elektrisk ledning och ett magnetfält rör sig i förhållande till varandra uppstår en elektromotorisk kraft (emk) i ledningen.

In English: In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even hand cranks. The first electromagnetic generator, the Faraday disk, was invented in 1831 by British scientist Michael Faraday. Generators provide nearly all the power for electrical grids. In addition to electricity- and motion-based designs, photovoltaic and fuel cell powered generators use solar power and hydrogen-based fuels, respectively, to generate electrical output. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by an electric motor, and motors and generators are very similar. Many motors can generate electricity from mechanical energy. Learn more at Wikipedia
