Abstract

See full text

A brushless alternator includes a drive end, a rear end, a rotor assembly, stator windings, and an internal fan. The rotor assembly has a first diameter. The rotor assembly includes a hollow pole and a solid pole. The stator windings surround the rotor assembly. The internal fan has a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter of the rotor assembly. The internal fan may be attached to the hollow pole of the rotor assembly. The hollow pole may be toward the drive end and the solid pole may be toward the rear end. The internal fan may include an outer portion shaped to direct air at the stator windings. The outer portion of the internal fan may include one or more of a curved or angled surface to direct the air. The internal fan may provide an axial flow of the air directed to the stator windings.
