Abstract
Free Piston Engine Linear Generator (FPEG) with features of thin and compact build, high efficiency and high fuel flexibility is developed. The key technologies for enabling stable continuous operation are lubricating, cooling, and control logic. This paper describes the main structure and operation characteristics of the FPEG, including the unique piston motion and its effect on combustion and power generation.
