A generator comprises a rotor assembly having a first rotor and a second rotor located about a shaft along a rotational axis. Each rotor includes a plurality of magnets circumferentially located about the rotational axis. The first rotor and the second rotor are separated by a gap, and adjacent magnets around each rotor and between the first rotor and the second rotor are aligned to have alternating polarity. The generator further comprises a stator assembly having a first stator and a second stator located about the shaft. The first stator inner surface is in close proximity to the first rotor outer surface and the second stator inner surface is in close proximity to the second rotor outer surface. Each stator includes a plurality of conductors circumferentially located about the shaft and proximal to the plurality of magnets of a corresponding rotor.
