Andreas Kreiner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Gas turbine with free-running generator driven by by-pass gas flow
    Patent number: 7721555
    Abstract: A gas turbine, especially an aircraft engine is provided. The gas turbine comprises at least one compressor (15, 16), at least one combustion chamber (17), at least one turbine (18, 19), and at least one generator (20) for generating electrical energy, each generator (20) comprising at least one stator (25) and at least one rotor (22). Each rotor (22) of each generator (20) is embodied as a free-wheeling generator turbine that is driven by a gas flow in such a way that it rotates in relation to the respective stator (25) of the respective generator (20) and thus generates electrical energy from the kinetic energy of the gas flow.
