As mentioned above, the electricity is produced in the generator head. But, how<br />

does this specific part do it?<br />

Magnetism and Electricity<br />

If you can remember your science class, then you’ll know that magnetism and<br />

electricity are related. This is why inside the generator head there are a lot of<br />

magnets.<br />

When you take a magnet and continually push and pull it near a piece of metal, the<br />

electrons in the metal will get excited. When the electrons get excited, they start to<br />

produce electricity. This is the reason why in each generator head, there’s a big<br />

magnet and metal coils.<br />

To produce 120-volt electricity, the motor has to spin the shaft at a constant rate of<br />

3,600 RPM.<br />

Conclusion<br />

<strong>Portable</strong> generators have the same core components of major power plants except<br />

they are made a lot smaller. Keep in mind that there are a lot of generators in the<br />

market right now. If you’re thinking of buying a portable generator, then you might<br />
