Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention provides a novel class of linear balanced free piston machines which include a first movable assembly supported for reciprocating movement along an inner axis, at least two counterbalancing assemblies supported for individual reciprocating movement along respective separate paths spaced around the inner axis, and a corresponding plurality of separate synchronizing mechanisms individually connecting each counterbalancing assembly to the first movable assembly for simultaneous synchronized movement of the counterbalancing assemblies along their respective paths with component vectors of such movement directed at all times in the opposite direction to the movement of the first assembly. At least one of the movable assemblies includes a movable member of an energy absorbing device, such as a compressor, electric generator or pump.
