ABSTRACT:
An energy supply system for mobile electric weapons, for the operation of a storage unit, has a turbine which can be acted upon for a short time by a combustion chamber with hot gas of a high pressure and temperature. In the idling operation, the turbine is maintained at an idling speed by exhaust gas from a vehicle driving system. As a result, a fast charging of the storage unit is achieved, and at the same time, the space requirement of the storage unit and of the energy generating device is reduced.
