Abstract:
An electricity generating system, comprising:a body;a combustor provided in said body;a turbine made of a plurality of turbine blades secured to a rotor, provided in said body and in fluid communication with said combustor;a compressor chamber provided in said body and in fluid communication with said combustor;a plurality of compressor blades secured to said rotor, said compressor blades positioned within a compressor chamber;an air inlet port in fluid communication with said compressor chamber;an exit port in fluid communication with said turbine;a plurality of magnets secured to said rotor; anda stator made of a magnetically attracted material provided in said body, said stator positioned in close proximity to said plurality of magnets whereby rotation of said rotor causes a change in flux about said stator thereby generating electricity; anda fuel metering valve in fluid communication with said combustor, wherein said fuel metering valve comprises a proportional solenoid having a plunger having a tip, said plunger adapted to extend along a longitudinal axis, a valve body defining a plunger cavity, an inlet and an outlet, said plunger extending within said plunger cavity, and a flow plate having a hole defined therein, said flow plate secured to said valve body and positioned within said plunger cavity between said inlet and said outlet whereby movement of said plunger in a first longitudinal direction causes said tip to coact with the hole defined in said flow plate to vary a flow from said inlet to said outlet through said hole defined in said hole plate.
