The document discusses the development of a novel axial-flux permanent magnet (AFPM) generator for defense applications. AFPM generators have advantages over conventional machines as they are compact, lightweight, and highly efficient. The authors developed a prototype 40kVA AFPM generator with twin stators and a sandwiched rotor. Testing showed the generator performed well under resistive and inductive loads, with 94% efficiency and smooth sinusoidal voltage output. Due to its unique features, the AFPM generator is well-suited as a futuristic power source for defense equipment.
