1. A gas turbine generator comprising:
- a combustor,a turbine driven by the combustor,a compressor;
a drive shaft linking the turbine and the compressor along a common rotational drive axis; and
at least one electrical generator comprising a rotor and a stator;
wherein the rotational axis of the generator rotor is radially offset from the drive axis, and drive means is provided which connects the generator rotor to the drive shaft such that rotation of the drive shaft causes rotation of the generator rotor.

Abstract
A gas turbine generator 1 comprising a combustor (2), a turbine (4), a compressor (6), a drive shaft (7) and at least one generator. The turbine (4) is driven by the combustor (6). The drive shaft (7) links the turbine (4) and the compressor (6) along a common rotational drive axis. The at least one electrical generator comprises a rotor and a stator, and the rotational axis of the generator rotor is radially offset from the drive axis. Drive means is provided which connects the generator rotor to the drive shaft (7) such that rotation of the drive shaft (7) causes rotation of the generator rotor.
