Claims
- 1. A turboalternator for a hybrid motor vehicle comprising:
- a low speed portion having a first compressor, a first turbine. a first axial shaft and integral first rotor, said first axial shaft interconnecting said first compressor and said first turbine, said low speed portion further having a first stator positioned adjacent said first rotor so as to generate electrical power;
- a high speed portion having a second compressor, a second turbine. a second axial shaft and integral second rotor. said second axial shaft interconnecting said second compressor and said second turbine, said high speed portion further having a second stator positioned adjacent said second rotor so as to generate electrical power, said second axial shaft being generally parallel to and independent from said first axial shaft; and
- an intercooler interconnecting said first compressor and said second compressor.
- 2. The turboalternator according to claim 1, further comprising:
- a combustor interconnecting said second compressor and said second turbine of said high speed portion.
