A linear electrical machine comprising a movable piston, an axially segmented cylinder having least one magnetically permeable segment and a bore configured to allow the piston to move within the cylinder, a cylinder housing having a bore for receiving the segmented cylinder, and means for securing the segmented cylinder in place within the cylinder housing. This arrangement permits the construction of a free piston engine linear with improved piston position control, more consistent combustion and improved electrical conversion efficiency. |
