Investigations for a Trajectory Variation to Improve the Energy Conversion for a Four-Stroke Free-Piston Engine

Internal combustion engines with a crankshaft have been successfully developed for many years. They are lacking in the fact that the piston trajectory, i.e., position as a function of time, is limited by the crankshaft motion law. Position-controlled electric linear machines directly coupled to the...
