Claim Text:
1. A turbine generator comprising: a combustion chamber; a high-speed spool comprising a high-speed turbine downstream of the combustion chamber to receive power therefrom, the high-speed turbine operatively coupled to a high-speed compressor assembly upstream of the combustion chamber; a low-speed spool comprising a pre-combustion power turbine directly upstream of the combustion chamber and directly downstream of the high-speed compressor assembly to receive power therefrom; a common bearing carrier attached to a high-speed bearing assembly supporting the high-speed spool, the common bearing carrier further attached to a low-speed bearing assembly supporting the low-speed spool; and an electrical generator located radially outside of the low-speed bearing assembly and between the pre-combustion power turbine and the high-speed turbine, the electrical generator comprising a rotor assembly operatively coupled to the pre-combustion turbine.
