摘要 |
A marine propulsion unit has at least one electric motor, at least one propulsion unit, which may be driven by the at least one electric motor and an energy generation unit (5), by means of which the at least one electric motor may be supplied with electrical energy and which comprises a gas turbine (6) as driving unit and a generator (7), driven by the gas turbine (6), for generation of electrical energy. According to the invention, such a marine propulsion unit may be embodied with increased efficiency, reduced mass and reduced weight with the same power, whereby the gas turbine (6) is directly connected to the generator (7) without a gearbox and the generator (7) is embodied as a synchronous unit with a high-temperature superconducting pole winding, which is arranged in a cryostat, cooled by a cryogenic unit (8).
