We are happy to welcome a new member to our SWEngin team!
Markus Rausch has been gathereing experience in the field of research and development writing his master thesis about specific Free Piston Linear Generator’s components. Our engineering team in Stuttgart won him as qualified and experienced engineer who proudly enganges in our technology’s development.
Munich STARTUP asked SWEngin seven questions about the „Free Piston Linear Generator“ (FPLG) and published all answers on its homepage. In the article, the founding team is introduced as well as the vision which encourages the team. Interview: http://www.munich-startup.de/11215/7-fragen-an-swengin/
On the 24th of November, SWEngin’s tecnical director Dr. Florian Kock is going to give a speech at the VDI-conference of experts. He is going to talk about all recent developments regarding the project “FPLG”. The scientific news webpage “VDI Wissensforum” published a teaserlike German article about SWEngin, “The Road to Zero Emission” and our vision. Even though the short article […]
Signing contracts, the skilled visionary and strategist Prof. Dr. Manfred Gröger becomes new CEO of SWEngin. Previously in SWEngin’s team, he acted as Business Angel and representative of former investors. After a long collaboration he is now not only on hand with help and advice but supports SWEngin with his experience as a Venture Capital’s chairman of the supervisory board. […]
SWEngin has decided to give its product a name. From now on the free piston linear generator will be known as MaGG-One. The new name is, of course, not completely made up out of thin air, but meaningful: MaGG-ONe stands for Master-Adaptable-Global-Generator 1st Generation. This way SWEngin has found the right term for its wunderkind: ordinary – flexible – compact, […]
During the last few weeks, „Christmas time“ has returned to SWEngin frequently: Alongside the here depicted bottom parts, a lot more components from different suppliers will be arriving these days. Altogether they are going to build the first complete FPLG system which has been developed by SWEngin: the demonstrator (pre-prototype) with opposed piston. The unwrapping of the components made of […]
Christmas time – calming down and recharging one’s batteries. In this spirit, we wish you relaxing Christmas days and a happy New Year! New test series are waiting for us next year. A very important milestone is the demonstrator’s construction in March 2016. We are going to keep you up-dated about the latest developments and most recent results in the […]
The construction of the first Opposed-piston-FPLG is heading down the home straight. All important components have already been installed and with the implementation of the housing cover the project could eventually be completed today. A large inspection window was integrated so that one can observe the inside of the FPLG between piston and armature whenever needed. From the vast bottom […]
The first ignition within the FPLG’s combustion chamber has been achieved in connection with the project „HOMEFREE II“, which is a collaboration project of the DLR (German Aerospace Center – Vehicle Concept Institute), FKFS (Research Institute of Automotive Engineering and Vehicle Engines, Stuttgart) and SWEngin. The test with a initially hydraulic engine did work right away and got remarkable results. […]
