More Information
Summary:A generator rotor torsional damper system includes a prime mover for generating rotational force, a generator stator, a generator rotor (30) rotatably supported relative to the generator stator and configured to receive a rotational force input from the prime mover, a flywheel (56) rotationally supported relative to the generator rotor by bearings (58), and an eddy current coupling operably connected between the flywheel and the generator rotor such that rotation of the generator rotor induces rotation of the flywheel in a common rotational direction through engagement by the eddy current coupling.
