Abstract
An electric generator has an outer rotor supported on a housing for rotation about an axis and a shaft input end lying on the axis at a first end of the housing. An inner rotor is supported on the housing for rotation about the axis and has a shaft input end lying on the axis at a second end of the housing. The outer rotor has an outer rotor generator winding. The inner rotor has an inner rotor generator winding. An outer rotor one-way clutch allows the outer rotor to be rotated by its shaft input end only in one direction. An inner rotor one-way clutch allows the inner rotor to be rotated by its shaft input end only in a direction which is opposite the direction of the outer rotor allowed by the outer rotor one-way clutch. Respective internal combustion engines operate the respective rotors.
