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.

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 ...

ABSTRACT The linear internal combustion engine-linear generator integrated system (LICELGIS) is an innovative structure as a range-extender for the hybrid vehicles, which contains two opposed free ...

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

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 ...

National Grid Ventures (NGV) will test the world’s first 100% hydrogen-fueled linear generator at its Northport plant for 12 months, supported by $11 million in New York State funding.

The Mainspring Linear Generator delivers unprecedented fuel-flexibility, including the ability to directly run on and switch between 100% hydrogen as well as biogas and traditional fuels such as ...

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 ...

A linear generator—distinct from an engine, microturbine, or fuel cell—is a device that directly converts motion along a straight line into electricity using chemical or thermal energy.
