2. Electro-hydraulic actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-hydraulic_actuator

   Instead of the energy needed to move the controls being supplied by an external hydraulic supply, it is supplied over normal electrical wiring, albeit larger wiring than what would be found in a fly-by-wire system. The speed of the motion is controlled through the use of pulse-code modulation. The result is a "power-by-wire" system, where both ...

3. Free-piston linear generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-piston_linear_generator

   The free-piston linear generator (FPLG) uses chemical energy from fuel to drive magnets through a stator and converts this linear motion into electric energy. Because of its versatility, low weight and high efficiency, it can be used in a wide range of applications, although it is of special interest to the mobility industry as range extenders for electric vehicles.

4. Linear induction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_induction_motor

   The history of linear electric motors can be traced back at least as far as the 1840s to the work of Charles Wheatstone at King's College in London, [3] but Wheatstone's model was too inefficient to be practical. A feasible linear induction motor is described in US patent 782312 (1905; inventor Alfred Zehden of Frankfurt-am-Main), and is for ...

5. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

   In addition to the engine and generator, engine–generators generally include a fuel supply, a constant engine speed regulator (governor) in diesel and a generator voltage regulator, cooling and exhaust systems, and lubrication system. Units larger than about 1 kW rating often have a battery and electric starter motor; very large units may ...

6. Toyota Dynamic Force engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Dynamic_Force_engine

   Very high compression-moderated Atkinson cycle engine. Longer stroke to bore ratio (under-square design). Change of port end shape and expansion of seat inner diameter. Application of updated D-4S (multi-hole injector) system to achieve "high-speed combustion", resulting in thermal efficiency over 40%.

7. Hybrid vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_vehicle

   In hybrid electric vehicles, for instance, the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, while the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed. Improved efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced running costs relative to non-hybrid vehicles are three primary benefits of hybridization.
