A ventilating and particle-filtering airflow system, and related
methodology, for managing the flow of air to the brush region of an
on-board aircraft (vehicle) electrical generator. Conduit structure
collects intaken air during aircraft (vehicle) engine operation, filters
this air to capture and prevent the passage of particles, and directs
filtered airflow to that brush region. Water drainage is provided for in
a region near where filtering takes place. The filtered airflow is
substantially the only airflow admitted to this region.
