10. An electro-dynamic machine, comprising:
-
a stator assembly having end turns configured to carry current in association with rotation of a rotor; a bladder element including a bladder wall, which is receptive of coolant and which is disposable to contact the end turns such that the coolant is disposable to remove heat from the end turns into the bladder wall and from the bladder wall into the coolant such that no heat flows directly from the end turns into coolant charging the bladder wall; and a plumbing system configured to pressurize the coolant. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
