Free-piston engine generators and linear machines represent an innovative departure from conventional rotary systems, offering high thermal efficiency and operational flexibility by eliminating ...

The paper provides a novel method to start the linear engine coupled linear generator from dead stop to its final steady state operation. This method depends mainly to use the linear generator mounted ...

Aquarius Engines has developed a tiny hydrogen engine it hopes can serve as a range-extender in electric vehicles and as a standalone micro-generator. Weighing just 22 lb, the small, simple engine ...

This paper analyses a power system formed by a combustion engine and an electric linear generator. Such system allows to transmit the power from a combustion engine directly to an electric generator ...

A linear generator can switch between a variety of fuel types without losing efficiency. The creation of this generator began in the Stanford Advanced Energy Systems Laboratory. Mainspring Energy ...

Technically, the combustion engine in any hybrid vehicle is a range extender, but the term commonly refers to gasoline-fueled generators that are used to charge an electric vehicle’s battery ...

We developed a high-efficiency linear generator powered by hydrogen, which has less friction than rotating engines by turning linear motion directly into electricity. They are applicable as a range ...

A linear generator could cause vibration issues; but this is countered, as it is in any other combustion engine, by using more than one FPEG in a horizontally-opposed layout.

Range-extending gas engines have a big problem: they're engineered to rotate wheels, not provide electricity. The Free Piston Engine Linear Generator cuts out the middleman for a huge efficiency ...
