Kronogard, S O

In order to obtain a low-cost, light-weight automotive gas turbine plant, the latter is provided with a compressor operating on a first shaft and a turbine operating on a second shaft formed as an element separate from that of the rotor. An infinitely variable transmission interconnects the first and second shafts and ensures that sufficient power for any operational condition is transferred from the turbine to the compressor.
