      aah, but it didn’t say steam, it said boiling water.

      smaller gas generators based on internal combustion engines don’t boil water though, right?

        Electromagnetic induction.

        Basically electric motor in reverse…instead of electricity powering the motor, the motor powers electricity.

        But the trick is in “what spins the motor”. In the case if ICE generators, it’s usually a pulley off the crankshaft.

        Or it could be moving water.
