Internal combustion engines

engine whose piston motion is not fixed by a crankshaft but set by the balance of gas, load and rebound forces, often driving a linear generator.

In internal combustion engines, free-piston engine refers to engine whose piston motion is not fixed by a crankshaft but set by the balance of gas, load and rebound forces, often driving a linear generator. This meaning comes from Mikalsen (2007) in Applied Thermal Engineering.[1]
