Linear Motion Electric Power Generator

The principal difference is in how they are used and which direction the energy flows.

Linear motion electric power generator.

In this study a linear electromagnetic generator was designed to drive the wireless load monitoring system for a transformer by harvesting the vibration energy. A moving magnet is confined so that it can move with bi directional linear or. A linear motion electric power generator for generating electric current from work done by an intermittent force. It is a key component that converts the linear motion of the engine s piston to electricity or vice versa.

One or more reaction section with a single or two opposite pistons one or more linear electric generator which is composed of a static part the stator and a moving part the magnets connected to the connection rod. A linear alternator is essentially a linear motor used as an electrical generator. The sea wave motion of crests and troughs makes the floating cork take a similar motion. The devices are often physically equivalent.

The free piston engine linear generators can be divided in 3 subsystems. An alternator is a type of alternating current ac electrical generator. Wave motion is typically low frequency in the 0 1 1 0 hz range but relatively high in amplitude wave heights on the order of 1 m are common. A linear motion electric power generator for generating electric current from work done by an intermittent force.

To simulate the generation of electric power the dynamic finite element analysis using commercial software maxwell was performed. In a stirling engine a heat source drives the stirling cycle that moves the piston which generates electricity through the alternator. A moving magnet is confined so that it can move with bi directional linear or approximately linear motion through each of at least two coils. Linear type generators using dielectric elastomers are well suited for this type of motion.

In many cases wave motion offers greater power levels and greater reliability. This cork motion acts as an input to the linear generator which generates the electricity. In this application the alternator is commonly called a generator.
