Rotating electric machine for generating a constant frequency AC Power Supply from a variable speed primemover

A rotating electric machine for generating a constant frequency AC power supply from a variable speed primemover comprising:

• a stator wound with two sets of isolated polyphase windings having the same number of poles, said polyphase windings located at about 90 degree displacement in space between them, a rotor wound with two sets of isolated polyphase windings having the same number of poles and placed at about 90 degree displacement in space between them, said rotor having two winding terminals interconnected either internally or externally to said machine with mutually reverse phase sequence, wherein when one set of stator winding is energized by an AC power supply of a given frequency and voltage, and the rotor shaft is rotated by an external means in the same direction as that of the rotating field of the said stator, the output from the second set of stator winding has a constant frequency equal to that of the given AC supply, irrespective of the speed of rotation of said rotor shaft within a reasonable range above synchronous speed corresponding to the AC supply provided;
• with said second set of stator winding connected to load directly or synchronized to the same source of AC supply whereby mechanical power input is directly fed into the AC supply source.
