Claim Text:
1. A microturbine for powering a generator comprising: a. a centrifugal compressor comprising a compressor rotor, a diffuser and a volute to provide a continuous flow of compressed air; b. a prevaporizing combustor for mixing the compressed air with fuel, wherein the compressed air is mixed with fuel in a specific ratio to produce a high-pressure hot gas, the prevaporizing combustor having an exit opening, wherein the prevaporizing combustor comprises: c. a combustor air bypass to control the compressed air from the centrifugal compressor, the combustor air bypass comprising a duct connecting the centrifugal compressor with the exit opening of the prevaporizing combustor; d. a radial inflow compressor turbine to extract power from the high-pressure hot gas; and e. an axial free power turbine to extract power from the high-pressure hot gas.
