Ren, I forgot to mention that I was thinking the pistons could be the actual magnet and because there is no actual fuel being used and the cylinders would remain cool from the air that it is bringing in. As far as the head. It could be a flat head using a modern cylinder head gasket design that would have the coil in the middle and the inlet valve on one side with the outlet valve on the other.

I am no physicist nor am I a scientist but this makes sense to me not that my level of common sense is up to par but until I am shown other wise, I feel this as well as my other ideas could work.

you would still have the internal friction of the magnet edge rubbing against cylinder wall. Although with no heat involved youd be free to make your cylinder out of nylon/delrin, which also has excellent wearing/friction properties. I saw an engine being developed a few years ago called the rev tech that did away with the crankshaft altogether. The horizontally opposed  pistons bumped a rotary style cam to turn the drive shaft or something like that. It was incredibly efficient, idled at like 70 rpm or something on next to no fuel. It would have been great to convert to hydrogen power. My point is if you can eliminate as much of the drive train as possible and reduce internal friction you will dramatically increase efficiency of the electromagnets.

Ren, I was thinking that copper cylinder walls and the magnet "piston" being fitted with thick copper rings would create electricity that could be harnessed by using wrapping the cylinders with wire making each cylinder a alternator.

I read about Trope and another members idea that you mentioned and they have a good idea that could designed a bit better by using the coils as the cylinders and using only one piston with a rod out of each end and using the back EMF and or collapsing field to bring the pistons back by reversed polarity.

Here is a picture I made up to explain things better. This is one cylinder that could have others added to it to make it more powerful. I also believe another magnet could be added to the springs as well as another coil winding set up. I also believe that a 12 volt battery would run 4 or more of these and that series of 12 volt batteries would also add power.

Now if anyone says nightlife doesn't spend some serious time thinking... there defiantly wrong! He spends the largest ammt of time ive ever witnessed in one thread "Thinking"

All but one post contained  a "message" that was clear after reading them all-

"I have no intention of trying any of my outlandish ideas, but i insist that frequency is electricity and you should build this... but well im going back to thinking now"
