Abstract:
1. A power generating system comprising: a housing having a cylinder and first and second combustion chambers at opposed ends of said cylinder; a piston having opposed first and second ends, said piston is contained within said cylinder with said first end facing said first combustion chamber and said second end facing said second combustion chamber, said piston capable of being axially reciprocated between said first and second combustion chambers, said piston being of a material that is permeable to magnetic flux and is electrically insulative; a first coil being carried by said piston and arranged coaxially therewith; a second coil surrounding said cylinder and being coaxially aligned therewith; a source of external electric current at least intermittently connected to said second coil; and wherein combustion is effected in said first and second combustions chambers in an alternating pattern to cause said piston to reciprocate within said cylinder, thereby generating electric current in said second coil.
