    Abstract: In one embodiment, a stator coil that includes a first turn with two or more strands is provided. The first turn includes first and second opposite sides, a coil termination at a first end of the first turn and an inversion region disposed at a second end, opposite the coil termination. The stator coil also includes at least one additional turn with two or more strands. The at least one additional turn includes first and second opposite sides, and an inversion region located adjacent to the inversion region of the first turn. The first and second sides of the first turn are inverted relative to the first and second sides of the at least one additional turn outside their respective inversion regions.

    Abstract: A method for generating electrical power may include the steps of rotating a rotor of a generator at a speed in excess of about 12,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) to about 25,000 rpm and producing power with the generator at a rate in excess of about 800 kilowatts (kW). The generator has a power/weight ratio no smaller than about 3 kW/lbs. A rotor is cooled with cooling oil internally circulated through the rotor of the generator so that contact of cooling oil with external surfaces of the rotor may be precluded. The stator is also cooled with oil that is prevented from contacting the external surfaces of the rotor. Pressurized airflow may be produced in a gap between the rotor and a stator of the generator to preclude entry of cooling oil into the gap.
