#75 | Interview, Sam Cockerill, Libertine PLC

eTech Learning: EV & AV Technology

For this episode of the eTech podcast Ryan Maughan speaks to Sam Cockerill, CEO of Libertine PLC. Libertine are a UK based developer of linear generators, this is an interesting technology utilising a free piston engine and a linear electrical machine to create an engine with an infinitely variable stroke and compression ratio.
Libertine are hoping to develop this technology for industrial power generation applications using bio-fuels and synthetic fuels. Whilst this is a combustion engine, it does provide very efficient power conversion and also minimal emissions of harmful pollutants as the combustion process can be controlled in a way that has never been possible before, due to the active linear generator that gives effectively an adjustable engine stroke, compression ratio and piston velocity to very precisely control the combustion process.
Ryan and Sam discuss the linear generator technology and Libertine's journey from a startup to an AIM listed business.
