Basics
- A Generator that uses Linear Motion rather than Rotary Motion
- It requires more complex electronics, but may be more efficient in some applications, especially where electricity production is preferred, not rotary motion (ie not a vehicle's Traction Motor etc)
- Also it allows for a more compact and/or simplistic design in some cases (No need for Camshafts / Crankshafts etc )
- Also if done in the form of an Internal Combustion Engine it can even be tuned more via software than hardware
Industry Standards / Existing Work
- It doesn't seem to be too common of a technology as of now, although it may be finally emerging?

External Links
- The Wikipedia Page on Linear Alternators (Different name that also produces less Google Search Engine Results, also need to check Google Scholar / Science Direct or something for result numbers too, but the OSE Wiki Page's name is good for now i guess)
