Free-piston engines represent a class of internal combustion machines distinguished by the absence of a crankshaft mechanism, enabling variable stroke length and compression ratio, with the piston’s ...

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 ...

We all know how a conventional internal combustion engine works, with a piston and a crankshaft. But that’s by no means the only way to make an engine, and one of the slightly more unusual ...

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 ...
