FP3 design is based on "free pistons" being driven back and forth inside cylinders by controlled internal combustion. Permanent magnets are attached to the pistons. As the magnets move, electric power is generated in coils placed around the magnets.

Would adding the mass of the magnets work on a Rotary engine?

Kinda like a gererator?

Yes:

Gotta ponder if it would just be more compact though.

It would be even cooler if the electricity then powered a waterwheel that supplied h2o for a steam generator, that energized a Stirling engine driving the wheels!

Looks like a generator and engine wrapped into one with minimal moving parts. A typical genset would have an engine driving a generator. Mechanical and heat losses are associated with such a package, but if "freepistonpower" is efficient at converting the piston motion to electrical current, then it would be a step forward. There's abvious heat loss associated with the combustion cycle, but the mechanical to electrical conversion is instant with only frictional loss in the cyclinder.

Magnets and heat, magnets and the cold. Which environment do they work better in?

Cold right?

Yep.... I didn't research the project..just made a general observation based on the picture you posted. Would like to see what kind of efficiencies they are stating.

Maybe I'll try it on my 2.7, it could seal up any CIS leaks, right?:D

WOW!!! I think I've finally seen an engine compartment to rival the "famous" LAMAROSSA: ;) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1184253572.jpg

For the COMPLETE Lamarossa experience, you owe it to yourself to check out the story and PICTURES of the build (with MANY body modifications sourced from Home Depot....here's the link:
