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.

The company’s R&D division has developed a Free Piston Engine Linear Generator that can convert gasoline and other fuels into electricity more efficiently than existing systems. It’s a ...

A new design for a piston-free linear engine generator has just been released by Toyota. With remarkable efficiency, the device might be scaled up to compete with electric power plants used in ...

Fuel cells and Free Piston Engine Linear Generators (FPELG). As we’ve detailed Toyota’s fuel cell technology in the past, let’s take a look at the company’s other solution - the FPELG.

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 ...

Team 56: Free-Piston Linear Generator Abstract 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 ...

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.

Range-extending gas engines have a big problem: they're engineered to rotate wheels, not provide electricity. The Free Piston Engine Linear Generator cuts out the middleman for a huge efficiency ...

Free-piston engines have great potential for use as generators for range-extended electric cars or even driving a full series-hybrid in place of a more conventional crankshaft-based engine.

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 ...
