Seems like same concept as a diesel except instead of turning a crankshaft they move magnets next to coils to generate an alternating current.

Maybe there’s also something about the fuel-air combustion that I didn’t understand. Perhaps someone can give information on that.

Clever idea — one I haven’t heard of before.

They used to make a type of air compressor this way. One application was diesel locomotives, they were LOUD. It ran on diesel which of course self ignites when squashed at the right compression ratio. Sounds like it is designed on the STELZER-MOTOR principle with linear generator coils/magnets.
