Abstract:
Lacking a physical axis of rotation, this all-in-one electric generator/turbine requires less kinetic energy, substantially fewer parts, and less space in the power plant than traditional designs. The turbine is embedded within the rotor, each sharing a common axis of rotation, thus eliminating the interconnecting shaft. Power plants will be able to install more generators in the same amount of space. The reduced weight of the turbine/generator permits the generator's rotors to operate at a greater number of revolutions per minute. Unique intake and exhaust pipes prevent passing fluids or gases from interfering with the spinning rotor. A directional cone further enhances the rotor's turbine's ability to transform kinetic energy into rotational energy. More generators operating at higher rates of rotation will significantly increase the electric power generated. Also disclosed is a means of converting low head dams and reservoirs into hydroelectric electric power plants.
