Toyota’s Central R&D Labs Inc. has developed an engine prototype called the Free Piston Engine Linear Generator (FPEG) in which the piston isn’t attached to a crankshaft; instead, as the piston is forced downward during its power stroke, it passes through windings in the cylinder to generate a burst of three-phase AC electricity.
