A shaft joint has an inverse conical stopper. The joint is a combination of interconnected shafts, with one shaft being inserted into the other. The interface between the two shafts can be of any type: press-fit, thermally shrank, threaded, etc. Besides, the shaft-to-shaft interface can be also either bonded or non-bonded.

Combination of two interconnected shafts for high-speed rotors

A surface burner for gas combustion has a burner surface which is fabricated by intertwining or interweaving an elongated flexible element across a distinct burner frame. This fabrication method can be best referred to as braiding, but also plaiting, lacing or another comparable method.

Braided burner for premixed gas-phase combustion

A method for manufacturing an inexpensive micro gas turbine has an existing compressor-turbine unit divided into two separate parts being a compressor and a turbine. The compressor and turbine shafts are joined. Two existing bearing units are taken, wherein one of them may belong to the existing compressor-turbine unit. The rotor of an existing generator is mounted on the joined shaft. A generator housing is manufactured and connected to the bearing units. The stator of an existing generator is mounted into the generator housing. Energy input into the working cycle of the gas turbine can be implemented by adding either an internal burner or external burner with a heat exchanger. By using inexpensive and often mass produced off-the-shelf components, a cost effective micro gas turbine can be derived.
