A salient pole machine and method of forming the same comprising a rotating field assembly and at least one inter-pole cap connected to the rotating field assembly and/or at least end coil cap connected to the rotating field assembly. Each inter-pole cap preferably includes a top surface that has a curvature and/or at least one cavity. Each end coil cap may include at least one support. The salient pole machine may also include at least one fan assembly independent of the rotating field assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the salient pole machine includes at least one mounting plate, wherein each fan assembly is mounted on the mounting plate. The inter-pole caps and the end coil caps preferably comprise composites, polymers, alloys, ceramics, or naturally occurring materials.

A locking drive hub and method of use comprising a drive hub inner element having a slit and a drive hub inner element diameter; and a drive hub outer element; wherein the drive hub outer element is capable of decreasing the drive hub inner element diameter. The drive hub inner element may comprise a plurality of tap holes and/or may have a slope, preferably an inclined slope. The drive hub outer element may comprise a plurality of clearance holes and/or my have a slope, preferably a decline slope. The locking drive hub may also comprise a plurality of hardware, such as screws or bolts, and/or a plurality jack screw holes. It is envisioned that this device may preferably engage and disengage a shaft such as a shaft of a generator or motor.

A rotor assembly for a generator includes a rotor hub, a first rotor pole, a second rotor pole, and an element (e.g., wedge). Each rotor pole extends from the rotor hub, and includes a winding of conductive wire coupled thereto and a pole head. The pole head is positioned on an end of the rotor pole opposite to the hub, and the pole head has an arcuate outer periphery. The element is positioned between the first and second rotor poles, and includes an open volume and an aperture. The open volume is formed in the element, and is positioned proximate to the windings of the first and second rotor poles. The aperture is on an outside portion of the element, and provides access to the open volume such that air may travel to and from the open volume for cooling of the rotor assembly. The outside portion of the element is substantially flush with at least one of the pole heads, and is contoured to continuously extend the arcuate outer periphery of the at least one of the pole heads.
