Abstract: A hydrodynamic bearing is incorporated within an alternator electrical generating system and or electric motors having permanent magnet (PM) machine rotors wherein a fluid film bearing is integrated between the rotor assembly outer diameter and the electrical stator assembly inner diameter. The alternator rotor outside diameter is a bearing surface and a static sleeve bearing is positioned inboard of the electrical stator inner diameter, coaxially and central, wherein the static sleeve inner diameter is a bearing surface. An additional select material is incorporated to sleeve bearing inner diameter surface to prevent relative surface damage during none fluid film operating conditions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a hybrid gas turbine (HGT) engine powerplant having electrical output power and as a system independently or in combination with electrical energy storage means, supplies electrical power to at least one electric motor for vehicular propulsion. The HGT has a minimum of two spools at least one spool, the power spool, has integrated a compressor rotor, turbine rotor and alternator rotor; a minimum second spool for staged engine air compression has integrated a compressor and turbine rotors aero-coupled to the power spool. An electronic engine unit (EECU) supplies electrical power to the fuel control valve, has preprogrammed variable power spool speeds per output power requirements, exhaust gas turbine temperature limits for fuel economy considerations and is responsive thru vehicle throttle commands of accel, decel, constant vehicle operations, start-up, shut down, battery charger and auxiliary power applications (APU).

Abstract: A hybrid microturbine to produce electrical output power within a engine housing, having a combustor, and a two spool multi stage compressor wherein the 1st spool has a compressor rotor and a turbine rotor as a turbocharger and the 2nd rotor spool has an alternator rotor integrated with a compressor rotor and turbine rotor. The two individual compressor rotors have rotating blades attached and located in compressor housings with fluid communication. The alternator rotor as part of the 2nd spool has permanent magnets integrated and positioned in close proximity and co-axial to the electrical stator module having an iron laminated structure with electrical wires. Relative rotational motion between the stator and alternator rotor cause electricity to be generated.

Abstract: A power plant with a CHP system having a distillation apparatus to yield a high thermally efficient electrical power plant for reduced fuel usage and subsequent lower CO2 emission specie. The incorporation of a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system with a microturbine, makes use of the low emissions gas turbine exhaust gas waste heat of this electrical power generation plant for distillation processes, replacing the current use of electrical heating elements of the distiller unit. The inventive device includes a distiller apparatus and a microturbine gas turbine electrical power plant, a heat exchanger device where the exhaust gas waste heat energy of a gas turbine power plant passes thru one side of a series of plates/sheets of material and or tubes and heats the process fluids on the opposite side and also a surface area condenser is incorporated to reduce the product vapor state to a liquid.

Abstract: An electrical output power generation system is provided. A gas turbine engine rotor spool with at least one alternator rotor and steam turbine rotor are integrated and within a engine body having a combustor or external heat source having fluid communication with the bladed compressor rotor and a gas turbine bladed rotor of the said rotor spool. The alternator rotor has permanent magnets retained and positioned in close proximity and co-axial to the electrical stator having iron laminat and electrical wires. Relative rotational motion between the electrical stator and alternator rotor cause magnetic flux and subsequent electricity to be generated. The steam energy to drive the said rotor spool integrated steam turbine rotor can be from the gas turbine engine exhaust waste heat and or thru external heat energy sources.
