Abstract:
1. An electric power generating system ( 20 ) provided with a cylinder shell ( 21 ) with two end sections and, inside the cylinder shell, a central combustion chamber ( 54 ) with two bodies arranged therein, which can move in axially opposed directions within the combustion chamber, wherein a drive rod ( 24 , 25 ) extending along the longitudinal axis ( 29 ) of the cylinder shell ( 21 ) is connected to each piston body and extends outwardly from one respective end part of the cylinder shell ( 21 ) with a drive end, the drive ends being reciprocated along the longitudinal axis without rotating, wherein the drive ends are each connected via a drive element with a rotary body ( 37 ) comprising one or more magnetic elements ( 40 ) for generating electric power, the rotary body being of a relatively large diameter and being situated around the cylinder shell ( 21 ) and rotatable around the longitudinal axis ( 29 ), wherein the drive elements each comprise a non-rotating reciprocating frame ( 26 ) that is connected with a respective drive end, the frame being essentially U-shaped with two arms arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis at a distance from the cylinder shell, with bearings ( 31 - 34 , 31 ′- 34 ′) located on the extremities of said arms, that bear upon a linear track ( 35 , 36 ) along an outer side of the cylinder shell and on the rotary body and that, when in reciprocating motion, drive the rotary body to cause rotation about the longitudinal axis ( 29 ).
