DEVICE FOR GENERATING ELECTRIC ENERGY USING HYDROELECTRIC GENERATING SET Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device contains electric generator with rotor and turbine with wheel, wheel shaft installed in guide bearing, shaft step bearing and suction tube. Turbine wheel is made in form of tube rigidly connected by spokes with wheel shaft. Blades of wheel are located on outer surface of tube and are provided with tilting adjusters. Electric generator is of end face design being arranged in inner space of tube. Rotor of electric generator is two-sided, its magnetic circuits with field coils are installed with air gaps between upper and lower end face magnetic circuits of stator of electric generator being rigidly secured on wheel spokes. Upper end face magnetic circuit of stator is fitted in chute with provision of vertical displacement to change axial distance between stator magnetic circuits. Wheel shaft step bearing is provided with adjuster to displace vertically the wheel and rotor rigidly coupled with wheel. Possibility is provided for adjusting both air gaps between surfaces of magnetic circuits of stator and rotor.

EFFECT: possibility of generating low-cost electric energy, reduced investments.
