Filed:

Nov 20, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/718036

Inventors:

Richard Coleman - Woodridge IL, US
Thelma Coleman - Woodridge IL, US

International Classification:

F02C007/10

US Classification:

060/791000, 060/039511

Abstract:

An improved turbine engine topology, wherein the improvement comprises a repositioning, with respect to a conventional intercooled regenerative turbine engine topology, of exhaust gas output from a low pressure turbine stage to a regenerator, to an exhaust gas output from a high pressure turbine stage to the regenerator. The engine topology may additionally employ, as an intermediate stage between the high pressure turbine and the low pressure turbine, a feedback control system, whereby the exhaust gas output from the high pressure turbine stage to the regenerator flows through the feedback control. The engine topology may advantageously also employ an additional cooler and an additional exhaust gas output in the feedback control, whereby exhaust gas flows from the feedback control through the additional cooler to a high pressure compressor stage, or the exhaust gas can flow from the feedback control through a bottoming cycle to the high pressure compressor stage. An exhaust gas condenser may advantageously be placed into the bottoming cycle system. The bottoming cycle/condenser improvements may alternatively be effected an other wise conventional intercooled regenerative turbine engine topology.

Appl. No.:

5/464047

Inventors:

Richard R. Coleman - Malvern PA
Helmut E. Weber - Valley Forge PA

International Classification:

F04B 1100

US Classification:

416223A

Abstract:

The present device is a rotor having a plurality of rotor chambers formed integral therewith. Each chamber has an inlet opening into a main section, whose sidewalls are substantially parallel, and further has a nozzle section whose sidewalls deviate at an angle from the main section sidewalls to create a sharp cross-sectional constriction and which nozzle section ends in an outlet opening. The present rotor is used as the single rotor of a turbine engine which has means to initiate a shock wave at the opening of the main section of each rotor chamber. The rotor chamber is formed to direct the shock wave uninhibited toward said outlet opening but said shock wave is reflected from said sharp cross-sectional constriction toward said inlet opening thereby compressing the gases in said chamber to a high pressure. In each chamber when said high pressure gases expand through said nozzle section the ensuing reaction drives said rotor.

Appl. No.:

5/464101

Inventors:

Richard R. Coleman - Malvern PA
Helmut E. Weber - Valley Forge PA

Assignee:

General Power Corporation - Paoli PA

International Classification:

F04B 1100
F02C 302

US Classification:

417 64

Abstract:

The Present system provides for expanding high pressure gases from the chambers of a moving rotor and reentering said gases into the chambers of said moving rotor in such a way that the gases in the chambers of said moving rotor have been subjected to more expansions than the gases reentering the chambers and therefore are at a lower pressure than the gases reentering said chambers.
