一种新型的立轴轴磁流式发电机目前正在香港大学研制中,它可能在小水电站的设计方面产生很大的影响。轴磁流式发电机的定子和转子为并排布置的同轴圆盘式,它与常规的辐磁流式发电机是同轴心的转子和定子布置大不相同。这就造成空气间隙磁通与发电机轴相平行,而不是辐向 A new type of vertical axis magneto-electric generator is currently under development at the University of Hong Kong, which may have a significant impact on the design of small hydropower stations. The stator and rotor of an axial magnetoelectric generator are co-axial disks arranged side by side, which is quite different from the rotor and stator arrangements which are coaxial with a conventional radial magnetoelectric generator. This causes the air gap flux to be parallel to the generator shaft, rather than to the radial direction
