ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATOR FOR SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B64G1/44 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power engineering and can be used for power supply of spacecrafts, in particular, space satellites. In a generator of electric energy containing a converter of thermal energy into electric energy with a magnetic system consisting of permanent magnets and ferromagnetic plates receiving solar heat energy, permanent magnets and a winding are installed between two ferromagnetic plates. Electric power generator is made with possibility of rotation around spacecraft. Permanent magnets can be made thin-film. Winding can be made of carbon nanotubes with high electric conductivity. Electric power generator can be made with possibility of joint operation with solar battery. Specific gravity of the generator is reduced.

EFFECT: generation of electric energy from solar thermal energy by generator both at direct exposure to it of solar flow (heating), and in area of shadow (cooling).
