Abstract
Axial compactness is achieved in a generator set including an internal combustion (10) having a main shaft (16) journalled for rotation about an axis (56) and having an end (18, 54) with a flywheel (20) mounted on the end. A first rotatable magnet assembly (21) having axially facing poles is disposed on the flywheel (20) and a stator (24, 72) including generator windings (102, 104) is provided adjacent the magnets (21). A second rotatable magnet assembly (21, 22) is opposite the first magnet assembly (21) and adjacent the stator (24, 72) and has axially facing poles directed toward the poles on the first magnetic assembly (21) and is coupled to the first magnetic assembly for rotation therewith.
