Abstract

An apparatus such as a vehicle having a generator. The apparatus includes a rotational shaft having a longitudinal axis, a stator having a core and windings disposed on the core, and a rotor coupled to the shaft. The core includes first and second surfaces at least partially surrounding the longitudinal axis. A portion of the first inner surface is disposed a first radial distance from the longitudinal axis, and a portion of the second inner surface is disposed a second radial distance from the longitudinal axis. The second radial distance is greater than the first radial distance.
