OVERHUNG CURRENT GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: overhung generators such as windwheel-driven ones. SUBSTANCE: generator has frame with supporting bearings and rotor-mounting shaft. It is provided with rotor position detector, control unit, additional lines of permanent magnets attached to shaft-mounted hubs between main magnets. Stator is built up of electric blocks alternating with lines of additional magnets. Electric blocks have strip and cooler whose slots accommodate rotor position detectors and winding sections of quasi-annular coils. Magnets are mounted to form toroidal gaps receiving electric blocks. Terminal leads of rotor position detectors and those of coils are interconnected into phase sections and within lines of electric blocks they are interconnected in series or in parallel, or in series-parallel and connected through strip and frame terminals to electric load; through other terminals they are connected to power and control inputs of control unit. EFFECT: improved efficiency and specific power output. 5 cl, 7 dwg
