MINIATURIZED TURBOGENERATOR FOR THE DIRECT ELECTRICAL PROPULSION OF AUTOMOTIVE, URBAN AIR MOBILITY, AND SMALL MARINE VEHICLES
A miniaturized turbogenerator (200) to directly provide electrical propulsion (307 308, 309) to small land, air, and maritime vehicles without an intervening electricity storage battery (315). The invention comprises of a process of miniaturization (500) of a turbine engine core (100), in particular its compressors and turbines (400), by means of hyper-feed machining by linear force alone, i.e. without rotation of either the workpiece or the cutting tool (505), and a resulting apparatus of a miniaturized turbogenerator (200) that has sufficient power density to provide high-performance electrical propulsion (310) for commercially feasible automobiles, urban air mobility vehicles, and other small vehicles and vessels with greater performance than battery-electric vehicles (300).

Combustion turbine system with increased pressure ratio
A method, device and system for operating internal combustion engines with an increased pressure ratio and vehicle with this system. Internal combustion engines have a technically restricted pressure ratio, which limits the thermal efficiency. Gas turbines have so far had a maximum pressure ratio of 33:1, diesel engines have compression ratios of up to 23:1. An oxidizer is fed into the combustion chamber in (cold) liquefied condition under very high pressure. The fuel is also supplied in liquid form under high pressure. The pressure ratio of the oxidizer pump is 200, 500 or more. In the combustion chamber, the oxidizer and fuel react and expand to more than a thousand times the liquid volume. Depending on the fuel used, an expansion machine with a pressure ratio of around π=500 or more or an equivalent expansion ratio of ε=85 or more can be implemented.
