A compressor-less micro gas turbine has a compressed working medium container for maintaining a gas turbine under pressure. A combustion chamber is in fluid communication with the compressed gas container for receiving a gas from the gas container and heating the gas within the combustion chamber to create an expanded gas. A heater heats the combustion chamber to expand the working gas therein. A turbine in fluid communication with the combustion chamber for receiving the expanded gas. The expanded gas drives the turbine. A generator is operatively coupled to the turbine. The turbine provides a mechanical input to the generator causing the generator to produce electricity.

Compressor-less micro gas turbine power generating system

A seal plate system adapted to fit between axially adjacent turbine blades and turbine vanes is disclosed. The seal plate system may be formed from a plate adapted to position a turbine blade in a rotor assembly and lock the turbine blade into the rotor assembly. The plate may also function to seal a cooling system in the turbine blade. In at least one embodiment, the plate may be configured to accomplish both of these tasks together once installed into a mini disc of the rotor assembly.
