Abstract
The disclosure relates to a turbine wherein the rotor windings receive current from a CPU-controlled high speed operational amplifier and the stator windings include four-stage poles with configurations controlled by the CPU. The control of the current to the rotor and the control of the configuration of the four-stage poles of the stator windings is used to provide for constant amplitude (i.e., voltage) and frequency output of the turbine over a range of rotational velocities and loads. The turbine can be used in many applications including, but not limited to, wind or water driven applications.
Claims10
A turbine for supplying electricity, including:
- a rotor with rotor coils about a periphery thereof, said rotor including an axis for rotation;
- a stator with an opening for receiving said rotor, said stator including stator coils about a periphery of said opening;
- wherein said stator coils are configured as poles with a plurality of stages, wherein the electrical configurations of said stator coils is controlled by a switching device;
- and
- wherein said rotor coils are configured as electromagnets receiving a variable current.
