Switched reluctance, fully superconducting, integrated ring turbine motor, generator gas turbine, engine stage (ssrgts)

Abstract

A superconducting integrated ring turbine motor generator gas turbine engine stage of the present invention includes a combination of turbine vanes, rotors and blisk assemblies that prevent temperatures during operation from interfering with the extraction or control of power generation processes. The engine stage includes a ring having an evenly spaced array of aerodynamic vanes affixed on the inside or outside of the ring. The vanes are spaced apart by a nonmagnetic armature assembly spacer ring.

1 - 2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . A stage of an engine comprising:
 a. a support ring fabricated of a ferromagnetic material;   b. an array of a first set of vanes and a second set of vanes spaced apart from one another, wherein the array is affixed to the ring; and   c. an armature assembly spacer ring formed of a non-magnetic material, wherein the spacer ring is arranged to space apart vanes of the first set of vanes from vanes of the second set of vanes.   
     
     
         4 . The stage of an engine as claimed in  claim 3  wherein the vanes of the first set of vanes are positioned on the outside diameter of the support ring and the vanes of the second set of vanes are positioned on the inside diameter of the support ring. 
     
     
         5 . The stage of an engine as claimed in  claim 3  wherein the armature assembly spacer ring is configured with an armature pitch and phase orientation that are different between the vanes of the first set of vanes and the vanes of the second set of vanes.
