Patent ID: 7649274

Claim:
A turbine for supplying electricity, including: a rotor with rotor coils about a periphery thereof, said rotor including an axis for rotation; a stator with an opening for receiving said rotor, said stator including stator coils about a periphery of said opening, wherein said stator coils are configured as poles with a plurality of stages, wherein the electrical configurations of said stages of said stator coils are controlled by a switching device in order to maintain relatively constant voltage and frequency output; an encoder for monitoring rotational characteristics of said rotor; a control unit receiving input from said encoder and controlling said switching device, said control unit further including a grid sine wave sampling block which receives information from electrical grid sensors regarding electrical conditions of an electrical grid to which said turbine is supplying electricity; a turbine electric power output sensor connected in electrical communication to said control unit, wherein said control unit further receives information regarding electrical output of said turbine; and wherein said rotor coils are configured as electromagnets receiving a variable current, said variable current being controlled by said control unit.
