Free-swinging Piston Engine and Oscillating Generator as a Source of Electrical Energy

Abstract: The paper is devoted to the innovative unit consisting of the free-swinging piston internal or external combustion engine and oscillating rotary electrical generator. Advantages and possibilities of such units are presented to compare with shortcomings of the conventional units, as well as with the units of linear free-piston internal combustion engine and oscillating linear generator. Usage of the proposed unit as a source of electrical energy in the hybrid electric vehicles enables to create competitive hybrid electric vehicle
