Rotor Assembly For A Turbine

US Patent:
8613587, Dec 24, 2013
Filed:
Feb 20, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/771532
Inventors:
Francis X. Reilly - Framingham MA, US
International Classification:
F03D 7/06
US Classification:
415 42, 415125, 415907, 416109, 416116
Abstract:
A rotor assembly for a turbine includes a substantially enclosed, cylindrical outer housing that is shaped to define an interior cavity into which a rotor is disposed. The rotor includes a main rotatable shaft in coaxial alignment with the outer housing and a plurality of pivotable blades, each blade being connected to the shaft by upper and lower spokes. In use, fluid flow enters into the interior cavity through a selectively enclosable inlet port in the outer housing, applies force to blades within the primary fluid flow path which causes the main shaft to rotate, and exits the interior cavity though a selectively enclosable outlet port in the outer housing. As the main shaft rotates within the outer housing, a control mechanism maintains each blade in a position of limited resistance when located outside the primary fluid flow path in order to maximize efficiency.
