1. A linear generator, comprising:
- a permanent magnet array having at least two magnets arranged end-to-end;
a set of conductive coils arranged around the permanent magnet array;
a four-phase full wave rectifier configured to accept alternating current inputs from the set of conductive coils and to produce one or more direct current outputs; and
a summing circuit configured to aggregate the one or more direct current outputs from the rectifier to produce a combined, rectified direct current output.

Abstract
A linear generator includes a permanent magnet array having at least two magnets arranged end-to-end. A set of conductive coils is arranged around the permanent magnet array. A four-phase full wave rectifier is configured to accept alternating current inputs from the set of conductive coils and to produce one or more direct current outputs. A summing circuit is configured to aggregate the one or more direct current outputs from the rectifier to produce a combined, rectified direct current output.
