Product Announcements: Alternative Power Generators

Umbra's Reciprocating Electro-Mechanical Linear Alternators (RLA's) are an ideal technology for power generation from alternative energy sources such as compressed gas and ocean waves. The aerospace-inspired, corrosion resistant, scalable architecture dramatically simplifies hydrokinetic designs and reduces operational/maintenance costs. (read more)

Where air compressors are in use, Grismir® tools can avoid the entire cost of the air system because the patented Trezium® electric controller can be used with any electric current (100 to 267Vac, 50/60Hz; 120 to 380 Vdc) in the world through a simple plug change - driven by a simple three phase, two pole permanent magnet motor.

The Umbra Group applies aerospace expertise to yield reliable, high-efficiency solutions for the most demanding compressor, pump, and electrical power generation needs. (read more)

Inspired by the aerospace electro-mechanical actuators (EMAs), UMBRA RLA's adopt a robust and efficient design, with a rotating ball-nut equipped with permanent magnets and a reciprocating screw-shaft. (read more)

Unlike typical linear alternators that rely on a linear traveling magnet to induce the flow of an electric current, the Umbra RLA's spin a special ball-nut that contains multiple permanent magnets. The spinning magnets induce the flow of an electric-current in a manner similar to conventional alternators. (read more)
