A DC generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into direct current electrical energy.
A longer answer
A DC generator is an electrical machine which produces direct current electricity. It must be turned by a prime mover which can be an internal combustion engine - driven, usually, by diesel oil or gasoline - or can be a turbine, driven either by superheated steam or by water falling from a reservoir. (The latter is known as "hydro-electric power generation").
