<p>There is an internal combustion engine having a housing (1) with at least one cylinder. There is an electricity generating stator (5) fixed relative to the cylinder. There is a piston (3) arranged in the cylinder for cycles of reciprocating compression and power strokes between top dead centre and bottom dead centre positions. There are inlet valves (8) for introducing an air or fuel mixture into the cylinder prior to the compression strokes and outlet valves (9) for the expulsion of exhaust gases following the power strokes. The piston (3) is linked to a linear actuator (4) for movement therewith so that during operation of the engine the reciprocating strokes of the piston (3) and lineal' actuator (4) with respect to the stator (5) generate usable electrical energy. The engine further includes a coil spring (6) acting on the piston to bias the piston (3) toward top dead centre on the compression strokes.</p> |
