TURBOGENERATOR Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: proposed turbogenerator contains electric generator connected with turbine and second electric generator. Turbine includes Segner's wheel made in form of tube with closed end and installed for rotation. At least one pair of branch pipes with open ends and bent off to opposite sides is secured on tube radially from opposite sides. Axes of bent off ends of branch pipe are square to plane passing through axes of pair of branch pipes and axis of tube. Holes as made in tube wall to suit branch pipes. Cylindrical drum is fastened coaxially with shaft installed for rotation. Drum enclosed Segner's wheel. Cylindrical belt of drum adjoins, with clearance bent, off ends of Segner's wheel branch pipe. At least one pair of branch pipes with open ends is secured on cylindrical belt of drum radially at opposite sides. Said pipes are bent to opposite sides from their axis and opposite to sides of branch pipes of Segner's wheel. Axes of bent off open ends of drum branch pipes are square to plane passing through axes of pair of branch pipes of drum and axis of tube. Holes are made in belt wall to suit branch pipes. Connection of turbine with electric generator is made along drum shaft. Turbogenerator is provided with housing enclosing Segner's wheel and drum. Said housing is provided with working medium outlet hole and with mechanically connected gears, one of which is installed on tube and the other, one shaft of second electric generator. EFFECT: increased power output and efficiency. 2 dwg
