Linear Machines: State of the Art with Emphasis on Sustainable Applications

The chapter is aimed at a state of the art related to the integration of linear machines in sustainable applications. Prior to do so, the study is initiated by a review of the topological variety of linear machines with their classification according to the morphology and the AC-type. Then, selected sustainable applications equipped with linear machines are briefly described with emphasis on those applied to mobility and free and renewable energy harvesting. Regarding mobility, the selected applications are free piston engines, electromagnetic suspensions, MAGLEV trains, and ropoless elevators. Concerning energy harvesting applications, the selected applications are human body motion energy, vibration-based energy, and wave energy conversion.
