Abstract:
The present invention relates to a compressor having a cylinder block having a center bore piercedly formed at the center thereof and cylinder bores piercedly formed around the center bore, a front housing and a rear housing mounted on both ends of the cylinder block, a driving shaft rotatably passing through the front housing and the center bore, and pistons linearly reciprocating in the cylinder bores with the power received from the driving shaft to compress a refrigerant. The compressor includes a permanent magnet disposed on either of the pistons or the cylinder block and coil parts provided to the other part, wherein power generation is conducted by means of the electromagnetic induction produced by the motions of the pistons.
