Electric power generation apparatus, for use in conjunction with a source of rotary power (21) having a battery (32) associated therewith, comprising: one or more rotors (50), which are driven to rotate by the source of rotary power; one or more stators (56), comprising at least a first and second stator coil, coupled inductively to the one or more rotors, so as to generate electrical currents responsive to the rotation thereof, a first rectifier (24), coupled to receive and rectify the electrical current generated by the first stator coil, producing a DC output suitable for charging the battery; and a second rectifier (25), coupled to receive and rectify the electrical current generated by the second stator coil, producing a high voltage DC output suitable for operating auxiliary electrical equipment coupled thereto. A method for generating electric power is also disclosed.
