Abstract
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.
