Micro Gas Turbine Engine With Active Tip Clearance Control

View page
US Patent:
6692222, Feb 17, 2004
Filed:
Jun 14, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/173552
Inventors:
Friedrich B. Prinz - Woodside CA
Sangkyun Kang - Palo Alto CA
Tibor Fabian - Menlo Park CA
Georg Brasseur - Vienna, AT
Jordan Tresser - Meriden CT
Francis Holman - Paradise Valley AZ
Hideaki Tsuru - Mountain View CA
Minoru Matsunaga - Tokyo, JP
Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Stanford CA
Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha
International Classification:
F01D 1122
US Classification:
415 14, 415132, 4151732
Abstract:
In a micro gas turbine engine, a capacitive sensor is used for measuring a tip clearance of a radial compressor section thereof, and an actuator is used for axially displacing a rotor shaft in response to an output from the capacitive sensor. Because the capacitive change gives an accurate measure of the size of the tip clearance, a particularly high sensitivity can be achieved in parts where the tip clearance is small, thereby providing a highly precise tip clearance control.

Miniature Gas Turbine Engine With Unitary Rotor Shaft For Power Generation

View page
US Patent:
6866478, Mar 15, 2005
Filed:
May 6, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/431345
Inventors:
Tibor Fabian - Menlo Park CA, US
Frank Holman - Paradise Valley AZ, US
Sangkyun Kang - Palo Alto CA, US
Hao-Chih Liu - Redwood City CA, US
Minoru Matsunaga - Tokyo, JP
Fritz B. Prinz - Menlo Park CA, US
Hideaki Tsuru - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Stanford CA
Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha - Tokyo
International Classification:
F01D005/04
US Classification:
4151981, 4152161, 415915
Abstract:
The present invention provides a miniature gas turbine engine for power generation. The engine has a highly integrated unitary rotor shaft where turbine, compressor and shaft are made in one piece in one fabrication process. The turbine and compressor are positioned back to back on the shaft in an overhung configuration, allowing the front bearings to be located in the cold zone of the engine. Preferably, the Mold SDM fabrication technique is utilized to make the unitary rotor shaft in one monolithic part out of ceramics such as silicon nitride, eliminating the need for post process assembly while strengthening the integrity, reliability, and performance of the unitary rotor shaft. Integrated with a permanent magnet in the unitary rotor shaft, the miniature gas turbine engine can generate electric power of 1 kW or less. Additionally, the axial length of the miniature gas turbine engine is about 100 mm or less. The miniature gas turbine engine according to the present invention is therefore particularly useful for powering lightweight, self-sustaining mobile devices such as unmanned vehicles and-autonomous robots.

Bistable Miniature Valve

US Patent:
7422191, Sep 9, 2008
Filed:
Jun 10, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/151158
Inventors:
Dino Accoto - Andrano, IT
Friedrich B. Prinz - Woodside CA, US
Tibor Fabian - Mountain View CA, US
WonHyoung Ryu - Stanford CA, US
Jun Sasahara - Saitama, JP
Hideaki Tsuru - Columbus OH, US
Georg Brasseur - Vienna, AT
Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. - Tokyo
International Classification:
F16K 31/00
F16K 31/18
US Classification:
251 11, 25112901
Abstract:
A bistable minivalve includes a movable component, an actuator that is electrostatically, magnetically, or mechanically coupled to the movable component for controllably switching the movable component between open and closed states, and a casing providing structural support. The movable component has an actuation surface [ movably positioned in the valve conduit and a bistable element attached to the actuation surface providing mechanical stability to the open and closed states of the movable component. The bistable element may be realized as a pair of elastic buckling beams [ attached at their midpoints to opposite sides of the actuation surface. Optionally, there may also be elastic support beams [ attached at their endpoints to the actuation surface and attached at their midpoints to the elastic buckling beams.
