Patent ID: 7400072

Claim:
An electrical generator comprising: at least one pair of stator coil sections having spaced apart ends each having a header cap configured to define a spherical geometry, wherein each header cap comprises split header cap portions of a conductive material to provide at least two parallel paths for passing a respective flow of electric current; an electrical insulating material interposed between said split header cap portions; a connector for connecting said pair of coil sections at their ends through said header caps, wherein said connector is configured to maintain electrically insulated said at least two parallel paths for passing the respective flow of electric current, wherein said connector comprises at least two connecting bars of a conductive material; an air gap interposed between said at least two connecting bars, wherein each of said bars includes two detents configured with a geometry complementary relative to the geometry of the header caps for tightly receiving said header caps; and means for mechanically affixing said at least two connecting bars to one another while maintaining said air gap there between.
