Patent attributes
An electrical power generation system including: a micro-turbine alternator, including: a decomposition chamber; a turbine including blades driven by combustion gases from the decomposition chamber; a blower operably connected to the decomposition chamber to provide a blown airflow thereto; one or more shafts connecting the turbine to the blower such that rotation of the turbine drives rotation of the blower; an electric generator disposed along the one or more shafts such that electrical power is generated via rotation of the one or more shafts; and a housing enclosing the electric generator within a generator cavity formed therein. The blower is configured to blow air through the generator cavity through or around the electric generator. The air is configured to exit the generator cavity to enter the turbine.
