A self-contained counter rotating turbo prop system (14) includes a power generating system that produces electric power for a de-icing system. A bearing/generator assembly (80) includes a plurality of permanent magnets (108) and coil assemblies (110) separated by an air gap (116). Relative rotation between first and second parts (82, 84) of the bearing/generator assembly (80) provides for the generation of electric power utilized to drive the heating elements (48, 50) mounted to the propeller blades (18, 20). |
