A two-stage free-piston driver

Shock Waves, 1999
The overall cost of free-piston driven facilities can be substantially reduced if the contraction between the compression and shock tubes is replaced with a constant area section. However, with such an implementation, a new driver concept is required in order to achieve a realistic facility length. This paper describes a new free-piston driver type for

Hybrid simulation of a free piston engine

Proceedings of the April 26-28, 1966, Spring joint computer conference on XX - AFIPS '66 (Spring), 1966
The free piston engine principle is one which has intrigued mechanical engineers for decades. Indeed, the original gas engine of Otto and Langden employed a piston assembly which did not contain the now conventional connecting rod and camshaft arrangement and hence may be considered as an early implementation of the free piston principle.

Motion control of a hydraulic free-piston engine

2012 American Control Conference (ACC), 2012
Free-piston engine (FPE), as an alternative of the conventional internal combustion engine, has a high potential in terms of energy saving given its wide range of potential applications and high efficiency. One of the technical barriers that prevents the wide spread of this technology is the lack of precise piston motion control.

Hydraulic free piston engine — Challenge for control

1999 European Control Conference (ECC), 1999
A hydraulic free piston engine, HFPE, combines a diesel engine and a hydraulic pump into one compact component. In practical view there is only one linearly moving part in the HFPE, the piston assembly, which contains combustion and hydraulic pistons and piston rod.
