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 ...

There is probably no better chronicler into the full depth of American ingenuity than YouTube. Here one finds not just computer models for all manner of esoteric combustion engine designs, but actual ...

In partnership with Woodward, Inc., a global leader in controls in Fort Collins, CO, the team is developing a free-piston linear generator as an alternative internal combustion technology. It utilizes ...

A novel but not new kind of engine is figuring more and more often in engineering literature and bull sessions. Last week the Cleveland Diesel Engine Division of General Motors Corp. gave details ...

When we here in the modern age think of an “engine,” we are usually thinking of a four-stroke, four-cylinder, gasoline-fed, internal-combustion engine with the valves on the top. But why must that be ...

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 ...
