A generator (10), comprising: a first stator (12, 14) comprising a set of electromagnets (24) arranged to produce a magnetic field which rotates at a rotational speed around the first stator (12, 14); a second stator (12, 14) comprising a set of generator windings (26); and a rotor (16) disposed between the first and second stators (12, 14), the rotor (16) comprising a set of core members (32) and an input means arranged to receive a drive force to rotate the rotor (16); wherein the core members (32) are arranged to interact with the magnetic field produced by the set of electromagnets (24) to produce a modulated magnetic field that induces an electrical current in the generator windings (26); and wherein the rotational speed of the magnetic field produced by the set of electromagnets (24) at least in part determines the magnitude of the electrical current induced in the generator windings (26). |
