Design Features of Alternating Current Nadyne Generator

The Nadyne generator utilizes a solid steel salient pole rotor having magnetic poles of alternate north and south polarity. The stator does not require magnetic insulation from the magnetic housing as required for some other solid rotor type generators. Results of studies are presented in curve form. The data shows that the Nadyne generator performance is equivalent to the wound rotor salient pole type and that weight reductions are possible by operating at higher speeds.
