Working principle of Diesel generators

Question

Accepted Answer

Diesel generators work on the principle of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy through the combustion of diesel fuel.

Diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber where it is ignited by compressed air, creating a controlled explosion.
The explosion drives a piston which is connected to a crankshaft, converting the mechanical energy into rotational motion.
The rotational motion of the crankshaft is used to turn an alternator, which generates electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.
The generated electricity is then used to power electrical devices or can be stored in batteries for later use.
