Design and development of electronic switching inelectro magnetic engine

The electromagnetic piston engine is a kind of reciprocating engine that works on the principle of electromagnetism i.e like poles attract and unlike poles repel each other. The engine consists of the same basic parts as that of a conventional engine, the piston, the connecting rod, the cylinder and the crankshaft. The electromagnet used in this paper is an AC solenoid magnet and the crankshaft, connecting rod are made of mild steel. The piston has a neodymium magnet attached to the top as this magnet is extremely powerful. When the magnet and the solenoid are of opposite poles, the piston attracts moving the solenoid from BDC to TDC. Once the solenoid changes poles and become the same pole as that of the magnet, it repels and pushes the piston from TDC to BDC. The engine built in this paper is a 4 cylinder V4 configuration engine. The results of this experiment and project are that as of now, this engine cannot be used to lift high power loads and cannot be used for large vehicular aspects. However, this engine can be improved in all aspects and with sustainable developments to the engine; this can soon be used as a viable alternative to the actual engine. The advantage of doing so is that companies will not have to change any existing designs and principals in both the planning and manufacturing phases. With just a few updates to their existing manufacturing lines, They can move to an all electric engine setup in the car as the future of automobiles lie in electric vehicles and this engine will help the companies reduce the costs of manufacturing and setup by a huge margin hence increasing profits.
