By using a gas engine to drive a dc motor. Motors are cool in the way that if you give them power they will spin and if you spin them they will make power. There is a ball of coiled wire in a motor and when it spins the magnets in it try to resist the spinning but if it succeeds in spinning then electrons will be pushed through the coils by the resistance of the magnets and ultimately through your electrical appliance's.

A direct current (DC) generator works by the principle of electromagnetic induction. The generator contains a rotating coil of wire that passes by permanent magnets. An electric current is thus induced on the wire coil, which is sent through a commutator and possibly stored for future use.

Faraday's law - a law stating that when the magnetic flux linking a circuit changes, an electromotive force is induced in the circuit proportional to the rate of change of the flux linkage.
