+The TEG is a generator that uses the thermal potential difference between two gasses to create power. It consists normally of 5 components, the TEG itself, the burn room, the hot loop, the cold loop, fuel mixer.

	The simplest and most basic of all generators on this list is the standard portable generator. This generator when wrenched down on to a tile above a HV cable will produce 3000W (3kW) of electricity to the grid. Currently they do not consume any fuel, may do so in the future. They are typically found onboard the cargo shuttle and other shuttles as a source of infinite power. Using them to power the actual station is frowned upon.

			== "P.A.C.M.A.N."s ==
			The simplest and most basic of all generators on this list are the "P.A.C.M.A.N." line of portable generators.

			The J.R.P.A.C.M.A.N. can be found in maintenance areas, and runs on simple welding fuel, also found in maintenance. Anchor it to an LV cable and power it up. Because it generates LV power, it is only able to power one APC's worth of devices. It also generates exhaust fumes, so make sure you set it up in a well-ventilated area.

			The other "P.A.C.M.A.N." generators are intended for usage by engineering for advanced power scenarios. Bootstrapping the engine, powering departments, and so on. unlike the J.R.P.A.C.M.A.N. They connect directly to MV or HV power cables, and are able to switch between them for flexibility. The standard P.A.C.M.A.N. is powered by solid plasma sheets, and the S.U.P.E.R.P.A.C.M.A.N. runs on uranium sheets, and produce enough power for things like shuttles.

When all energy storage devices are full, the excess power is safely dissipated into space.

	It is better to be in a long-term energy surplus than an energy deficit. On the other hand, if your station is powered by non-renewable sources like the Anti-Matter Engine (AME), generating much more power than you need wastes fuel and contributes to space warming, not to mention, wastes ~~cargo~~'s money ''which they would have wasted on a lasers crate anyway''.
