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 ...

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 ...

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.

With the addition of Mainspring's modular linear generator, Kinsley expands its energy portfolio with a highly efficient, dispatchable, and fuel-flexible solution that runs on renewable natural ...

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 ...

Free piston linear engines (FPLE) directly convert the piston reciprocating motion into electricity using an integrated linear alternator. Unlike conventional crankshaft engines, the FPLE’s motion is ...
