It’s January 2030 and your electric heat pump is warming the house while your electric car charges in the garage, all powered by solar panels on your roof and by wind and solar generators at your local utility. On either side of it sits a linear electromagnetic machine (LEM) that converts the push from pressure directly into electric power.
