The massive 'bicycle seat' is supposed to slow down the local air flow and force feed air into the inlet to enable the APU to be started and used at any speed and altitude as far as I know - other aircraft types though seem to do without...

Edit: Oh wait, that was too obvious an answer - is that even what youre referring to? You specifically wrote generators... Are you thinking of the vortex generators scattered around the tail?
