The free-piston linear generator’s versatility also allows the device to adapt to operate at optimal efficiency based on the vehicle’s speed and driving characteristics to reduce emissions.

Technical Terms Free-Piston Engine Generator (FPEG): A system in which the piston moves freely within the cylinder, converting combustion energy directly into electrical energy via a linear generator.

Flexibility in respect of fuel types, compact dimensions and high efficiency combined with low emissions – these properties characterise the free-piston linear generator (FKLG), the brainchild of ...

2. Battery flat? – The free-piston linear generator acts as a range extender, supplying the electrical power needed by electric vehicles (Source: DLR) ...

While some may find it a tongue twister, for Florian Kock it remains a source of fascination and the object of his daily work – the Free-Piston Linear Generator (FPLG). Kock works at the German ...

Team 01: Free-Piston Linear Generator Abstract We developed a high-efficiency linear generator powered by hydrogen, which has less friction than rotating engines by turning linear motion directly into ...

But equally, smaller versions of the slim free-piston linear generator could fit neatly into series-hybrid cars. Engines' alcohol problem ...

They ’re calling it the Free Piston Engine Linear Generator, or FPEG, and while it may sound like a new thing, these crankless motors were actually among the first kinds of internal combustion ...

The 11-month project focuses on the modification of an existing two-cylinder opposed free piston Linear Generator, already developed by Libertine and MAHLE Powertrain as part of the UK Government ...
