Back in my long-ago engineering days, we were once shown a massive motor in a lab. It could, we were told, drive all sorts of experiments in the lab. Noticing a switch and a bright warning panel on the side, we asked the bored electrical engineering professor: 'What does this switch do?'
It causes the motor to flip over to gas supply, he said, and then it generates electricity.
