Abstract: The invention relates to a device for feeding pieces of tobacco to a stream drier (1). This is intended to ensure that even very highly moistened pieces of tobacco, eg. fibres of cut tobacco, are adequately separated and are not fed to the stream drier pressed together into lumps, which would result in uneven drying. According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the feeding direction (12) of the pieces of tobacco entering the stream drier (1) is at an angle to the direction of flow of the drying medium. The advantage associated with the invention is that the tobacco can be introduced into the stream dryer in a well separated and evenly distributed form, which is important for even drying and, if so desired, good expansion of the tobacco. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating electrical energy from the rotational movement of the axles of vehicles, in particular rail-bound vehicles, by means of a generator arrangement in which in addition to the generation of electrical energy the speed of rotation of the respective axis is determined. In order to provide a method for operating an axle generator arrangement and an axle generator arrangement itself as well as a use of the same which is matched thereto, with which method a separate angle of rotation sensor can be dispensed with and a safe and reliable supply of energy with as constant electrical voltage as possible is ensured in all operating situations, it is proposed that both the generation of electrical energy and the determination of the speed of rotation should take place exclusively by a generator function, the pulse parameters of each induced electrical voltage characteristic being evaluated in order to determine the speed of rotation.
