I think a generator only converts energy of one form to another i.e. mechanical energy of the armature to electrical energy giving rise to current. It doesn't generate energy, it just converts energy. It should be named an Energy Converter. What do you say?:cool::cool:

Its named so because Generator sounded a lot more cooler and sci-fi to the inventor than ENC. The people at that time did not like anonyms. :D

Quite seriously though, it generates electricity not energy. Energy cannot be created, electricity can be! It is therefore, an Electricity generator. Think! The subject is electricity, not energy! Duh!

If dont consider how a generator works, the end result is energy appearing out of nowhere! That's why its called a generator!
