Generator with fan

摘要

A generator fan (110) serves to draw air into the generator and pass the air through the rotor and stator. The fan (110) includes a disc (120) and at least one multidirectional blade (170) extending from the disc (120). The multi-direction blade includes a leading segment (180) extending from the disc (120) between a first radius (140) measured from the axis (130) of rotation and a second radius (150), the leading segment (180) including a leading edge extending from the disc (120) at an angle of about ninety degrees from the disc (120), the leading segment extending from the disc (120) with an increasing angle along the length of the leading segment (180); and a trailing segment (190) extending from the disc (120) between the second radius (150) and a third radius (160) measured from the axis (130) of rotation, the third radius (160) being greater than the second radius (150) and the trailing segment (190) extending from the disc (120) with an angle having a rate of change different than the leading segment (180).
