Mover guide in a linear electric generator with double-sided stationary stators

This study addresses double-sided stationary stators in a linear electric generator with similar operation to a linear oscillatory motion electric machine. The plate mover in the linear electric generator's double-sided stationary stators is powered by the acoustic power output of the thermoacoustic engine's acoustic line. The main originality of this structure resides in the linear guidance used for the moving part. The mover is made up of a plate of sandwich magnets between two stators. This plate is in magnetic balance between the two stators through a controlled friction device.
