directing a liquid coolant radially inward past the outer electrical machine stator and toward an inner electrical machine rotor using a coolant passageway; and
directing the liquid coolant radially outward along a rotor support that connects the electrical machine to a rotary member and toward the inner electrical machine rotor thereby removing heat from the inner electrical machine rotor.
