  • Managed pneumatic turbine power supply
    Patent number: 8674534
    Abstract: A pneumatic turbine power supply including a pneumatic turbine, a rectifier circuit for converting the AC power output by the pneumatic turbine to DC power, a voltage regulator for maintaining a constant voltage and a battery. The pneumatic turbine further provides a rotor blade containing a disc with magnets that are turned between a plurality of stator windings, the turning caused by a leakage that engages the rotor blades, the leakage from the emergency air brake reservoir found on rolling stock. The pneumatic turbine power supply further provides DC power output to both a device and a battery. The pneumatic turbine may operate despite a loss of pneumatic air pressure found in the brake pipe of the rolling stock.
