A generator with relatively high (Length/Diameter) aspect ratio, which may be mounted within the rotating mast of a helicopter, and which may generate power that is conditioned by a rotating power conditioning unit and delivered to the rotating rotor blades without the use of slip rings, is disclosed. The generator may be arranged to take advantage of the available space within the mast. Temperature of the mast and generator may be controlled by varying the wall thickness of the mast wall and using cooling fins on the mast and a cooling dome.
