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 ...

Abstract: Free-piston engine coupled with linear generator is a new kind of thermoelectric energy converter. It has been highly concerned due to its high efficiency and low emission in recent years.

Abstract: 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 ...

Mainspring Energy has adapted its linear generators so they can run on hydrogen or ammonia fuel, on top of widely available fuels such as natural gas and biogas. “The generator has passed key tests to ...

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 pack but ...

Scientists at Stanford University’s Advanced Energy Systems Laboratory have developed what appears to be a miracle generator that can run on pretty much any fuel source. Called a linear generator, ...

It’s pretty obvious that electricity is the future for our cars. But as any EV owner now can tell you, it has some limitations. Range and charging times are their biggest limitations, but the Toyota ...

A 3.3 MW rooftop PV array and 480 kW of linear generators are currently being used to cover 100% of the electricity needs of a logistics facility in California. The hybrid energy system is relying on ...

Antony Ingram April 30, 2014 Comment Now! The concept of range-extended vehicles--electric cars with a gasoline generator to extend their range--is an intriguing way of combining the benefits of both ...
