Magnetic Repulsion Piston Engine

Piyush Hota | Mahima Rathore | Danish Shaikh

Abstract: Demand is growing for the need of alternative fuels for transportation. Electricity with its versatile applications is being utilized to switch from conventional combustion vehicles to electric vehicles. The scenario of travelling is changing rapidly with metros, electric rails, electric aeroplanes (solar), etc. Basically it indicates that electrical energy is being used almost everywhere to drive our life. But the current machines we use today are low in efficiency. Hence we require products with more power but also with higher efficiency. Magnetism possesses a magnificent opening for development. Bullet trains using the technology of magnetic levitation have proved the strong nature of electromagnetic fields. Keeping in mind the arising needs of the industry, in this project we tried to design and experiment, a system called Magnetic Repulsion Piston Engine, which makes use of magnetic force to drive a load. The working principle is based on attraction and repulsion between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet. The forces thus developed are used to generate mechanical power. Successful development in this field can actively help switch over IC Engines.
