  • Drive means for electric generators particularly adapted in floating power plant
    Patent number: 4114468
    Abstract: An electric generator is driven by one or more steam turbines through gear train means, embodying one relatively large gear which serves the purpose of a flywheel, serving to stabilize the speed and voltage and frequency output of the generator. The system adapts itself particularly to conversion of the steam power plants of reserve vessels to floating, electric power generating stations by disconnection of the propeller shaft from the main or bull drive gear and installation of the electric generator.
