摘要
A single-stage axial microturbine has been developed with a rotor diameter of 10 mm. This turbine is a first step in the development of a microgenerator that produces electrical energy from fuel. The turbine is made of stainless steel using die-sinking electro-discharge machining. It has been tested to speeds up to 160,000 rpm and generates a maximum mechanical power of 28 W with an efficiency of 18%. When coupled to a small generator, it generates 16 W of electrical power, which corresponds to an efficiency for the total system of 10.5%. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
