1. An electric turbo compressor comprising:
a housing;
an electric motor accommodated in the housing; and
a rotating body accommodated in the housing, and driven to rotate by the electric motor;
the rotating body including:
a rotary shaft having one end and the other end, and configured to rotate together with the electric motor;
a first impeller disposed on the one end side of the rotary shaft, and configured to rotate together with the rotary shaft; and
a second impeller disposed on the one end side of the rotary shaft, and configured to rotate together with the rotary shaft, wherein
the electric motor, the first impeller, and the second impeller are arranged in this order in an axial direction of the rotary shaft,
the rotary shaft is rotatably supported by a radial bearing and a thrust bearing,
the radial bearing and the thrust bearing are disposed on the other end side of the rotary shaft relative to the first impeller,
the first impeller rotates to compress gas,
the second impeller rotates to compress the gas compressed by the first impeller,
the first impeller includes a first hub fixed to the rotary shaft, and a plurality of first blades arranged on the first hub,
the second impeller includes a second hub fixed to the rotary shaft, and a plurality of second blades arranged on the second hub, and
in the rotating body, mass of part of the rotating body from one ends of the first blades to the other ends of the first blades along the axial direction is greater than mass of part of the rotating body from one ends of the second blades to the other ends of the second blades along the axial direction.
