Free-piston linear generator - Wikipedia
A free-piston linear generator (FPLG) is a device that converts chemical energy from fuel into electric energy using magnets and a stator. It has no crankshaft, which makes it lighter, smaller and more efficient than conventional engines.

Sounds like applying a Variable Frequency Drive to the piston[s].
