Free-Piston Diesel Engine Dynamics and Control
Free-piston diesel engines are characterized by freely moving pistons without any rigid crankshaft or camshaft connected to the pistons. This allows a highly compact and e cient engine design, but requires automatic control of the piston motion. This paper present a dynamic mathematical model of a free-piston diesel engine, a control oriented dynamic analysis, and a novel computer-based piston ...
متن کاملA miniature free-piston engine/compressor
Portable powered devices such as construction tools and orthotics require a power supply that is light and compact. Hydrocarbon fuel has exceptionally high energy density compared to batteries but must be converted to mechanical power to be useful. We designed, constructed and evaluated a tiny internal combustion air compressor that uses a free-piston configuration combined with homogeneous cha...
متن کاملFuture nanotechnology developments for automotive applications
In the automotive industry, nanotechnology applications are manifold. They reach from power train, light-weight construction, energy conversion, pollution sensing and reduction, interior cooling, wear reduction, driving dynamics, surveillance control, up to recycle potential and much more. Additionally, visions of ‘‘nano in cars’’ reach from contributions for CO2-free engines, safe driving, qui...
متن کاملAnalysis of Tubular-type Linear Generator for Free-Piston Engine
Tubular-type linear generator for the free-piston engine is anlayzed using finite element method and its characteristics are explaind. Magnetic characteristics of the linear generator are calculated using the finite element method and various structures are considered to achieve the lowest detent force within the rated voltage. The path of the magnetic flux is constructed by the axially magneti...
متن کاملMiniature HCCI Free-Piston Engine Compressor For Orthosis Application
A miniature homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) free-piston engine compressor aimed at an ankle-foot orthosis application is described. Analysis of the human ankle shows that a fluid power source in the neighborhood of 10 W is needed. To account for compressor and actuator inefficiencies, the power output at the engine cylinder is designed to be 30 W. A compact engine compressor packa...
