Applications:

• Highly-demanding cordless communication and computing devices (built-in or trickle-chargers)
• Cordless power tools
• Cordless appliances (vacuums, hair dryers, irons, etc; just about any consumer appliance    that you plug and un-plug)
• Recreation equipment (bike night-riding, caving, night hiking, ski-boot/shoe/glove/vest/ etc heaters)
• Small & light-weight & inexpensive general-purpose generators (home, camping, contractor sites, outdoor lights, photography, etc)
• Small military field generators
• Military individual electronics power packs

Advantages:

• Low Frictional Losses, because of no bearing surfaces with an applied load
• High Piston Speed and Cycle Speed at Small Size Scales, because of low stresses
• High Power Density at Small Size Scales
• Compact, Low Weight Package, because the Alternator is Integrated in the System
• Ability to Operate Without Oil Lubrication

Status:

• Research unit designed and built
• Critical design elements verified
• 200-500 watt prototype under construction
