The conversion of acoustic energy into electrical energy is of great importance.
Since this is where the only moving parts are located, the method of energy conversion is crucial for the effective use of the thermoacoustic engine.
One elegant solution is to use a linear generator, of which I have built and tested various versions.
There is still plenty of room for improvement here, particularly as my knowledge of electronics isn’t the best, so if anyone can help, please leave a comment or get in touch!
Here is the link to a detailed YouTube video showing the construction of the new linear generator: Linear generator video
