Linear electric generator 1

[Giorgio 15]

Hello everyone!
I'm a student so I really known little about these things and I don't speak English well, therefore I apologize for any errors.
I saw on the internet of a generator called mag spark.
I was wondering if, adapted with suitable materials, be possible exploit the solar parables or biomass boiler.
If that were possible I would like to know , by real expert, if this generator could load a power bank can satisfy the energy needs of a house.
I thank everyone devote some of Your time.

Not sure what "solar parables" means - I think something has been lost there in the translation from Italian.

The important lessons to take from this question are: [ol 1]
[li]Understanding the difference between what it is possible to do and what it is sensible to do.[/li]
[li]New types of device always start off worse than existing types of device. Being able to work out whether they could be improved enough to become better than existing devices is an important professional skill in its own right.[/li]
[/ol]

If you bought enough of these things (or made one that was big enough), got a big enough biomass boiler to drive them and a suitable converter to convert the unusual pulsed electrical output into something that your home appliances were able to use, it would be possible to satisfy the energy needs of a house this way.

It probably wouldn't be a good idea though.

For a given size of biomass boiler:

[ul]
[li]There are other technologies that would give you more electrical power (this device looks inherently inefficient - the diagrams I've seen don't show any way of recovering the energy that's left in the piston at the end of its stroke; the magnetic circuit looks awful and they don't show how the valves are operated - but there's a big trade off there between efficiency on the one hand and reliability/cost on the other)[/li]
[li]There are other technologies that would take less money and energy to build[/li]
[li]There are other technologies that would require less maintenance (it is hard to make reliable reciprocating machinery)[/li]
[li]There are other technologies that will cause less environmental noise damage (the silencers are there in the design because there is a problem)[/li]
[/ul]

Others here might want to chip in on which of these problems will go away given sufficient development and which are there for ever.
