【 摘 要 】

Turbines of 1, 3 and 30 kW were designed, prototyped and evaluated. A 55 kW unit has been preliminarily designed. Two 1 kW alpha units and a 3 kW alpha unit were delivered to the US in 2005 and Empire Magnetics provided custom alternators for the units. After evaluation, the 6 bladed, 3 kW unit was chosen for beta fabrication and 5 units were delivered to the US in December, 2009 while others remained for testing in Russia.
