2. Free-piston engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-piston_engine

   Free-piston engine used as a gas generator to drive a turbine. A free-piston engine is a linear, 'crankless' internal combustion engine, in which the piston motion is not controlled by a crankshaft but determined by the interaction of forces from the combustion chamber gases, a rebound device (e.g., a piston in a closed cylinder) and a load device (e.g. a gas compressor or a linear alternator).

4. Free-piston linear generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-piston_linear_generator

   The free-piston engine linear generators can be divided in 3 subsystems: [1] [2] One (or more) reaction section with a single or two opposite pistons; One (or more) linear electric generator, which is composed of a static part (the stator) and a moving part (the magnets) connected to the connection rod.

6. Camless piston engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camless_piston_engine

   A camless or free-valve piston engine is an engine that has poppet valves operated by means of electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic [1] actuators instead of conventional cams. Actuators can be used to both open and close valves, or to open valves closed by springs or other means.

7. Opposed-piston engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposed-piston_engine

   A variation of the opposed-piston design is the free-piston engine, which was first patented in 1934. Free piston engines have no crankshaft, and the pistons are returned after each firing stroke by compression and expansion of air in a separate cylinder. Early applications were for use as an air compressor or as a gas generator for a gas turbine.
