Linear Power Systems Technology for Electric Vehicle Applications (Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing)

Linear Power Systems technology can generate power for multiple electric vehicle applications. In series hybrid EV and range-extender applications, free piston engines offer efficient, compact and cost-effective power generation. Heat recovery applications permit mild hybridisation of heavy duty vehicles, and can regenerate power for high efficiency kinetic energy recovery.

Libertine founder and Chief Executive. Sam has 20 years experience in automotive engineering, consumer product development and strategy consulting roles. Prior to joining Libertine full time in 2013 Sam was Business Development Director at Ensus one of Europe's major bioethanol producers. Sam was a consultant at Bain and Company in London.

Libertine makes high performance linear electrical machines and gas expander devices for free piston engine applications in decentralised power and electric vehicles. Libertine's patented and lab-proven technology dispenses with the crankshaft and other mechanical powertrain components that contribute to the high cost and low efficiency of today's small power generation technologies. The high efficiency and precise positional control provided by Libertine's 'linear power systems' technology addresses the key remaining challenges identified by free piston developers.
