Abstract
A power generation unit for generating electric power within a rotating reference frame includes a generator and a gear assembly. The generator has a plurality of first generator parts disposed concentrically with and radially outward from a plurality of second generator parts. The gear assembly is rotatably attached to the second generator parts and configured to allow relative rotation between the first and second generator parts caused by a single rotating component. The generator and the gear assembly are axially disposed along a common rotational axis.
