'''Generators''' are devices that use a series of physical and chemical changes to convert energies such as mechanical energy into usable form, most commonly electricity.

==Forerunner==
Though little is known about their operating principles, the [[Forerunner]]s used generators to power their installations. For example, the [[phase pulse generator]]s were used to power the firing system of the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]].

== Human ==
[[Human]]s use generators of varying kind to generate electricity. Some generators, like the [[PG000E Portable Electricity Generator]], burn [[hydrogen]] fuel cells.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> Nuclear [[fission]] and [[fusion core|fusion]] power, as well as hydroelectric power plants and [[wind turbine]]s, are also in use.

== Covenant ==
The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] use generators of varying kind to power their structures, including ''[[High Charity]]''. The most common power source is [[Pinch fusion reactor|pinch fusion]], a more advanced form of the fusion reactors employed by humanity. Smaller Covenant generators expand upon a single [[Plasma battery|Plasma Battery]] to multiply its yield, which is transferred and stored in Covenant barrels that are attached to the base. These barrels have seen unattached to the generating bases which are probably transported and used to fuel Covenant vehicles. 

The armor plating on these devices prevent tampering or destruction. It is likely that the fuel that the device generates into the detachable and replaceable tops might be plasma-based. This means that they could be used to fuel the systems on Covenant vehicles, such as their weapons, fuel, etc.

==Trivia==
*Human-made generators are also a [[Forge]] item in ''[[Halo 3]]''. They can be placed in certain maps, such as [[The Pit]], and [[Orbital]]. The ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' gametype [[Generator Defense]] centers around protecting human generators.
*In ''[[Halo 2]]'', Covenant generators can be found on [[Burial Mounds]]<ref>'''[[Halo 2: The Official Strategy Guide]]''', ''page 199''</ref> and on [[Metropolis]], near the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] command post.
