Abstract
Apparatus for powering an electric motor (4) comprising a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) (8) having a controlled fuel input (22) and a controlled oxidizer input (24). This apparatus may be combined with a turbine (104) driven by the exhaust gases of the fuel cell (8). The turbine (104) drives a generator whose power output (102) supplements the fuel cell power output (96) to power the electric motor (4).
The oxidizer may be compressed by a compressor (98) driven by the turbine (104). The electric motor (4) may be a DC unipolar motor with controlled field excitation current. A controller (40') may control the fuel input (90), the compressor oxidizer input (108) or the field excitation current.
The oxidizer may be compressed by a compressor (98) driven by the turbine (104). The electric motor (4) may be a DC unipolar motor with controlled field excitation current. A controller (40') may control the fuel input (90), the compressor oxidizer input (108) or the field excitation current.
