A generator unit (often referred to as a genset) consists of two key components: a diesel engine (reciprocating internal combustion engine) and an alternator. The diesel engine converts diesel fuel into mechanical energy (and also heat). The mechanical energy of the engine's crankshaft is transferred to the shaft of the alternator, which converts this energy into electricity for usage (e.g. prime power, emergency backup power, and so on). undo

Here the diesel engine was destroyed by abnormal torquing being repeatedly exerted on its crankshaft by the alternator, given how the alternator had deliberately been repeatedly connected out-of-phase. Such damage is entirely predictable, and synchroclosers were invented decades ago for this very reason. The destruction of this expensive machine was done in order to drive home the point, for nontechnical people. undo
