ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for controlling a range of movement of a power piston coupled to an alternator in a linear-motion engine. The apparatus includes a power bridge and a bridge controller. The power bridge is coupled to the alternator and is used to adjust a voltage output from the alternator. The bridge controller is coupled to the power bridge and the alternator and is used to compare the voltage output from the alternator to a reference voltage that corresponds to a desired range of movement of the power piston, and generate a plurality of control signals used to control the operation of the power bridge.
