THE usual method of driving aero-generators is by means of a small windmill mounted on the shaft of the generator, the contour of the latter being streamlined. By this means a separate prime mover is dispensed with, while, if the windmill is placed in the slip-stream of the main airscrew, some of the lost energy is re-generated. The inherent drawback to this form of drive is, however, that the speed of a normal windmill—and hence of the generator armature—varies with the speed of the aircraft, and many methods have been devised to overcome this trouble.
