Compact Turbines: Powered by compressed air or water
Be-Rex's turbine is the 'least complex' application of the new STaR architecture. Air or fluid pressure causes the mechanism to rotate, and energy can be generated through the built-in magnets and coils functioning as a dynamo. This turbine produces direct current, making it ideal for charging batteries directly.
Additional applications include:
- Producing or recovering electricity through residual gas or liquid pressure, as in hydroelectric power plants.
- Replacing turbines that use blades to produce electrical power.
Compact Electrical Pumps
Using electricity to power a machine based on the STaR architecture creates a pump capable of moving gases or liquids. Compared to the turbine, it requires additional electronics to control the coils and force rotation. Be-Rex prefers using direct current for the electric drive, enabling direct drive via accumulators or batteries.
Applications include:
- Artificial hearts with four chambers.
- Air blowers as a replacement for centrifugal pumps.
- Electric pumps in vehicles, vessels, aircraft, and aerospace.
Compact and Lightweight Aggregates
Be-Rex's STaR architecture can be used as internal combustion engine. The magnets and coils are used to start the engine and also as a dynamo, to generate electric power. The result is a compact Be-Rex generator that is half the size and weight of traditional generators.
Applications include:
- Portable generators for mobile electricity at campsites, on boats or in crisis situations after natural disasters.
- Portable range extenders for (stranded) electric vehicles (EV), solving the problem of 'range anxiety.'
