Generator (IndustrialCraft 2)

The Generator is the most basic form of IndustrialCraft 2 electrical generation that can be upgraded in many ways later on. It can supply IC2 machines with electricity and charge tools and batteries in its GUI. Generators produce power by burning the same types of fuel you would normally provide a Furnace in vanilla Minecraft with. Additionally they can also run on cactus and sugar cane, although not as much efficiently.

Generators have an internal energy storage of 4000 EU, which is equivalent to one piece of coal burnt. It always outputs 10 EU/t.

Uses
Place the Generator and connect it to a machine such as a Macerator - two machines can be placed either next to each other, or be connected with Cables. Then fuel the unit. To charge a tool such as a Diamond Drill, right-click with no items equipped to open its GUI and place the rechargeable item in the upper slot.
