Electric Power Generator Design for Clean Energy Webinar

Electric Power Generator Design for Clean Energy Webinar
About the Event

When: Tue, 07/09/2024 - 2:00 PM (Eastern Time)

NASA Glenn Research Center will present on the "Closed Strayton" Generator Design, created to efficiently deliver lightweight and sustainable electric power for clean energy applications. Optimized for hydrogen-based, zero-emission electrified aircraft propulsion from kW to MW range, the design builds on the core Strayton engine technology, which combines both Stirling and Brayton cycle elements to overcome the size and performance limitations of conventional turbines and heat engines. In its closed-cycle configuration, the design provides fuel-source agnostic, maintenance-free, quiet power generation for applications with challenging footprint and noise constraints. Scalable to higher power outputs, this early-stage technology offers broad applications for tomorrow's clean energy and power systems.
