Recently, in the field of electric vehicles, various modes have already been produced by vehicles industries and they will spread more and more as the regular vehicles of the environment conscious people in the future. However, They demand lots of electrical power and long operation, but current rechargeable battery cannot provide the operational durations required. Also short lifetimes of batteries impose a fundamental limitation. Due to these reasons, small linear engine and linear generator are designed with Hybrid electric vehicles in this paper. A linear generator may be coupled directly to the piston for a conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. Such design has many advantages such as mechanical simplicity and low friction and it can make possible a small engine having high efficiency. In other words, linear engines give power output more efficiently compared to conventional reciprocating piston engine, because it doesn't have a crank mechanism, hence there is less mechanical loss. To increase the efficiency and endurance, we made a piston and cylinder sleeve by ceramic materials.
