First off you must make sure that your generator has overcurrent protect. This comes from article 445 in the NEC. Then size your wires accordingly. Then hook up your 2 hots, neutral, and ground, making sure you use wire that is listed for a wet location. Your pump will need a disconnect along with overcurrent protection.
You will need to replace the 3-prong outlet with a 4-prong outlet to match your dryer cord. Alternatively, you can replace the cord on your dryer with a 3-prong cord that matches the existing outlet. Make sure to consult a professional if you are not comfortable with electrical work.
The 6-20 is a designation for a 20 amp circuit. Most homes have receptacles rated for 15 amps. The cord is designed so that you cannot plug it into a 3 prong 15 amp outlet for safety purposes. The wire, fuse or circuit breaker as well as the receptacle must be properly rated so you don't burn your house down. Proper inspection and possible rewiring to the power panel is needed to operate it safely.
To make a patch cord for this setup, you will need a 4-prong 220V plug that matches the generator's outlet, a length of appropriate wire rated for 30 amps, properly sized for the distance between the generator and compressor, and a 3-prong 220V plug that matches the compressor's inlet. Connect the wires according to color-coded standards (red and black to the hot terminals, white to the neutral terminal, green to the ground terminal). Make sure the wire gauge matches the amperage rating to avoid overheating.
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.A four-prong socket on the generator implies that it's a 3-phase generator.The welder appears to be single-phase load working at 240 v 50 A but provided the generator is rated at 415 v 36 kVA that means it can supply 240 v 50 A on each phase, between line and neutral.Given the voltage and power of the generator an electrician should be employed to identify the socket correctly, do the wiring and ensure earthing is correctly completed. Without this the system is dangerous, someone could get electrocuted.
Yes, adapters are available for purchase to convert a 3-prong dryer outlet to a 4-prong dryer cord. These adapters are designed to make the conversion safe and straightforward, allowing you to use your dryer with the proper electrical connection. Just ensure that the adapter is compliant with electrical safety standards.

As far as I know, you can't. It would be safer to have a new outlet installed closer to the dryer.

I am assuming you are trying to find all outlets that are connected together in a circuit. The easiest way is to have a tone generator. They make a few different kinds. In one you plug in a tone generator that is built into a standard AC plug and you can put the receiver at the electric panel to locate the breaker that controls that outlet and you would do this for all outlets by "Toning Out" each outlet in question. In another method you connect a tone generator to any outlet and then use the receiver to see which other outlets have the tone present. In this method you should turn off the power to the outlet you are using as the starting point. If you have no tone generator you can turn off breaker for the outlet where you will start and use a volt meter to find all other outlets that are off. You can get a good toner for $20 to $30.

Need to know what the voltage is. A NEMA number of the pin configuration would also help.

No, most dryers require a specific outlet with higher voltage such as a 240-volt outlet to function properly. Using a regular wall socket plug with a dryer can lead to safety hazards and damage to the appliance.
A reusable circuit protector would be a circuit breaker. It is designed to trip and be reset, whereas a fuse would need to be replaced once tripped. A 10 gauge copper wire and a three-prong outlet are components used in electrical systems but do not serve the same function as a circuit protector.
Neutral is vitalIf your generator doesn't have a neutral connection, no. (The generator would be rated for 240V only) If you don't have a neutral you will burn up half your 120V applainces. AnswerThe three prong should plug into the 4 prong and work. The fourth prong is to ground the body of the appliance. Three prong may only ground the motor. Instead of 2 power and 1 gound, the box is 2 power, 2 ground. Should still plug in.
