Does anybody have link to an explanation of how a generator works?

I would like to find out how much power my generator is putting out?
The rated power is 5kW & max is 5.5kW.
The exhaust has 2 tones, 1 sound for regular use & a more strained sound when I use heavier appliances like a microwave.

In a car, your fuel economy is determined largely by your driving style...i.e. all else being the same, if you drive the same route with a light foot vs a heavy foot, your average economy would be lower of you drive light & higher if you drive heavy.

My generator doesn't have the same variability with it's rpms so I want to know what the exact power output is at any point in time? Is there a smart device I can connect to the 3 pin outlet that can show me this?
