Laughlin/ Brayton Battery Gas Turbine
The Laughlin/Brayton Battery Project: Brayton is designing an advanced closed-cycle gas turbine.
- Closed-cycle He/Ar working fluid
- Only one moving part
- No mechanical wear – all magnetic bearings
- Shaft speed motor/alternator, with mag-bearings
Robert Laughlin Inventor/partner
Nobel Laureate in Physics
Professor at Stanford University
and author Powering the Future
Brayton, Professor Laughlin, and Nick Cizek formed a company to develop this technology and later sold the company and rights to Google in 2016
