Abstract: An energy recovery module includes a manifold, a permanent magnet generator arranged within the manifold, and a thermal electric generator. The thermal electric generator is arranged within the manifold and is electrically connected to the permanent magnet generator to provide electrical power to a load using energy recovered from an expanded decomposition or combustion products traversing the manifold. Generator arrangements, unmanned aerial vehicles, and methods of generating electric power are also described.

Abstract: A propulsion system for an unmanned underwater vehicle includes a turbine engine having a rotational output, an electrical generator mechanically connected to the rotational output and electrically connected to an Alternating Current (AC) power bus. A magnitude of an AC output of the electrical generator is independent of rotational speed of the rotational input. An electrical motor connected to the AC power bus, and includes a mechanical output.

Abstract: An environmental control system of an aircraft includes a heat exchanger configured to cool an airstream and a water extractor arranged in fluid communication with an outlet of the heat exchanger. The water extractor includes a separation mechanism for separating the airstream into a first airstream and a second airstream. The first airstream has water droplets entrained therein. A flow path of the airstream within the separation mechanism includes an angle. The separation mechanism includes a water extractor vessel axially aligned and in fluid communication with the separation mechanism. The water extractor vessel includes a first portion for receiving the first airstream and a second portion for receiving the second airstream. The first portion is configured to collect and remove water droplets from the first airstream.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a shaft internal lubrication system includes a shaft body having an outer wall and a central bore defining an inner wall. The shaft internal lubrication system also includes a plurality of lubrication holes axially distributed along the central bore and fluidically connecting the inner wall and the outer wall. At least one rifling groove on the inner wall forms a lubrication flow path to two or more of the lubrication holes. The shaft internal lubrication system further includes a feed tube within the central bore operable to drip feed a lubricant to the inner wall.

Abstract: A ram circuit for an aircraft includes a ram inlet housing, a ram outlet housing, a heat exchanger, a ram air fan, and a particle separator. The ram inlet housing includes a chamber and an inlet configured to receive air. The ram outlet housing is fluidly connected to the ram inlet housing. The heat exchanger is disposed between and fluidly connected to the inlet housing and the outlet housing. The ram air fan is disposed in the outlet housing and includes a motor with a cooling inlet. The particle separator includes an outer inlet and a clean air outlet. The outer inlet is configured to receive ram air from the chamber of the ram inlet housing and faces into a flow of air passing through the chamber. Clean air is discharged through the clean air outlet which is fluidly connected to the cooling inlet of the motor.

Abstract: A pump system includes a turbine shaft including a turbine disposed thereon to rotate the turbine shaft at a turbine shaft speed due to fluid flow through the turbine and a centrifugal pump directly connected to the turbine shaft and configured to pump hydraulic fluid at the turbine shaft speed. The pump system also includes a speed reduction system operatively connected to the turbine shaft and configured to have an output speed less than the turbine shaft speed and a valve operatively connected to the speed reduction system that is configured to operate at the output speed. The valve is configured to meter flow to the turbine to regulate the turbine shaft speed.
