FLUID MEDIUM ENERGY CONVERTER Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: electric energy generation. SUBSTANCE: any pump or compressor can be used as fluid medium charger but fluid medium must not conduct electricity. Working chamber of turbogenerator stator made in the form of semi- torus or hollow torus open on top accommodates flat ring of bladed rotor mounted for rotation on bearing support. Field winding is secured to ring and stator carries inducing winding. Both windings are placed in additional annular cavities of stator made on its internal and external sides. Winding height equals or is greater than inner diameter of circle forming semi-torus or torus. Rotor ring blades may be made in the form of semi-circle of diameter equal to at least half the inner diameter of torus forming circle or it may be in the form of bucket. EFFECT: improved economic efficiency of energy conversion and simplified design. 5 cl, 4 dwg
