Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating power in a rotating environment without access to the axis of rotation. A non-center engagement generator is implemented within the rotating reference frame of a vehicle wheel. Further, a method and apparatus detect a potential rollover state and prevent occurrence of a rollover state or eliminate a rollover state once attained.
