Computational and experimental data of the TASHE (4MPa helium,75Hz working frequency, 650 heating temperature )

When it comes to a linear alternator, frequency coupling between the system working frequency (dominated by the engine) and the natural frequency of the linear alternator (dominated by its spring stiffness, moving mass, piston area) is crucial to the system performance.

Changing the natural frequency of the linear alternator makes big difference ( adjusting the moving mass)
6cm piston
