Combustion chamber, linear generator, gas spring – these three components of the FPLG are being montaged at this very moment. All pistons have already been integrated. This week 16 linear generators have been montaged and adjusted with patience and devotion. In the following, the FPLG’s moving parts will be montaged. Then, all three subsystems will be installed and consequently the very last skeptic will be convinced: This is going to be a FPLG.
