Claim 15:
16. A ram air turbine power system mounted in the interior space of a pod configured to be detachably coupled to a vehicle, the system comprising
a turbine rotor mounted for rotation about a central axis, the turbine rotor having an inner diameter and airfoils arranged radially outward of the inner diameter,
an accessory generator including a series of magnets coupled to the inner diameter of the turbine rotor at a location axially aligned along the central axis with the airfoils and a series of stator windings mounted radially inward of the series of magnets at a location axially aligned along the central axis with the series of magnets so that, upon rotation of the series of magnets with the turbine rotor relative to the series of stator windings, electrical power is generated and
a plurality of turbine inlet guide vanes configured to redirect air moving toward interaction with the airfoils of the turbine rotor and power off-take wires that extend from the stator windings radially outward along the turbine inlet guide vanes so that heat from the power off-take wires is supplied to the plurality of turbine inlet guide vanes.
