Abstract
Various examples are provided related to opposing piston synchronized linear machines. In one example, among others, an opposed piston synchronized linear machine includes a linear engine having opposed piston assemblies including two pistons that move linearly in opposite directions along a longitudinal axis of a central cylinder; first and second linear electromagnetic machines coupled at a proximal end to the piston assemblies; and a resonant driver assembly that provides compression during a compression stroke of the linear engine. The first and second linear electromagnetic machines can convert linear motion provided by the two pistons to electrical energy in a generating mode. The opposed piston assemblies can be synchronously controlled to generate a compression ratio sufficient to combust fuel in a combustion chamber of the central cylinder.
