Abstract
Abstract The rotor of a generator for automotive internal combustion engine turbo-superchargers is located on the turbine shaft to rotate therewith, at the turbine speeds of between 20,000 rpm to 80,000 rpm, and positioned between the exhaust gas turbine blade unit and the supercharger-compressor blade unit. The rotor, preferably, is a permanent magnet rotor, cooperating with stationery armature structures which may have different, separate windings thereon to supply different networks at independently selected voltages, for example a vehicular battery through a rectifier network and heating elements, in single-phase and three-phase connections, as desired, such as windshield heaters and the like, which can be directly a-c energized. The generator may have an axial air gap and may be cooled by a compressed air bleeder duct formed in the compressor blade unit.
