ABSTRACT: Over the last century numerous changes were brought to the internal
combustion engines. Numerous researches are carried out in hopes of improving the engine
characteristics. Increasing the efficiency and reducing the exhaust gases. Magnetic repulsion
and it's a fuel less engine so there is no combustion of fossil fuels. MRP engine is a modified
version of reciprocating engine.We know that petrol and diesel are the most commonly used
fuels for an automobile engine. But these fuels take millions of years to be produced, and also
seeing the present scenario these fuels are being consumed at a considerably faster rate. The
big question mark is that there will be any fuel left for the future generation to use, but not
only this these type of fuels are also responsible for causing emissions, thereby polluting the
environment and causing global warming, so as an engineer as well as a person who is a part
of this society we must find an alternative solution for this. Our Concept is to create an
engine working on magnets and the principle of electromagnetism instead of using petrol or
diesel. In this engine we have replaced the spark plug by an electromagnet which sits on the
cylinder head. The top of the piston is also replaced by a permanent magnet when the piston
is near the electromagnet, both the piston magnet and the electromagnet is of same polarity
thereby repulsion action takes place throwing the piston downwards another magnet is kept at
the bottom to push the piston upwards hence the polarity of the electromagnet present at the
top changes accordingly when the magnetic piston is near the electromagnet repulsion takes
place of same polarity whereas when the piston is away from the electromagnet attraction
takes place due to opposite polarity hence circular revolution of the piston is obtained which
can be given to the wheel for the movement of vehicle since it an electromagnet the charge us
given by a battery coil ignition system. While these engines have already proven their worth
as alternative sourced engines, non-polluting and eco-friendly, the current challenge is to make them more
efficient and cost effective

I. Introduction

This project is to design an engine working on the principle of magnetism. This engine is also
a replacement idea for the conventional engines which we use today such as petrol or diesel
engine. In this engine the fuels such as diesel and petrol will be replaced by the power of
magnetism thereby introducing a new pollution and emission free engine. in this engine the
spark will be replaced by an electromagnet which sits on top of the cylinder head and also all

the valves and carburetor and also the exhaust manifold can be removed thereby reducing the
weight of the engine to a great extent and also the piston head will be replaced by a strong
permanent magnet such as neodymium (n52) magnet. Therefore the attraction and repulsion
force created between them causes the rotation of crankshaft and to supply power to the
wheels.

1.1 Neodymium Magnets


This magnet also known as Neo magnet which is most widely used type of rare earth magnet
and in bright silver color. This is a permanent magnet which made from alloy of neodymium,
iron and boron and this magnet considered to be the strongest magnet type among other
permanent magnet. This magnet widely used in electronic based companies and also as motor
in cordless tools. The magnetic strength measured in Gauss and permanent magnet has
different strength at different region of the surface. The strength of permanent magnets
usually measured with ranges for an example, in the project I use two neodymium magnets,
one is around 1500 – 2000 Gauss and another is around 2500 – 2800 Gauss. The strength of
magnets measured by an instrument called aussmeter or magnetometer.

2. CONSTRUCTION

The Construction of this electromagnetic engine is very simple. This electromagnetic engine
consists of the following parts
1. Piston head (neodymium N52 permanent magnet)
2. Cylinder head (electromagnet)
3. Crakshaft
4. Connecting rod
5. Relay switch (dpdt)
6. Micro controller
7.12v battery
Construction of this electromagnetic engine is similar to normal engine, instead this engine
consists of a cylinder head in which an electromagnet is placed and the piston head is
replaced by a permanent n52 neodymium magnet.

The electromagnet is connected to a dpdt relay switch to change the polarity of the
electromagnet with timing of the piston movement. The power supply to the electromagnet is
given by the battery

III. WORKING

The working of this electromagnetic engine is based on the principle of magnets and
electromagnetism. The initial power supply to the electromagnet is taken from a 12v battery
for more power more batteries can be used. Once the power supply is given the piston head
which is made of a permanent n52 neodymium magnet is attracted towards the electromagnet
working of this electromagnetic engine is based on the principle of magnets and
electromagnetism. The initial power supply to the electromagnet is taken from a 12v battery
by stepping up the voltage from12v to 12000v by using a battery coil ignition system, for
more power more batteries can be used. Once the power supply is given the electromagnet in
cylinder head the piston head which is made of a n52neodymium permanent magnets is
attracted towards the electromagnet. Hence the working can be split into two cycles. Hence
the working can be split into two cycles.

3.1 PRINCIPLE OF CYCLE

ATTRACTION CYCLE:
During the attraction cycle the electromagnet which is placed at the cylinder head is of
opposite polarity to the the permanent n52 magnet of piston head, hence attraction takes place
causing the piston to move upwards.

REPULSION CYCLE:
During the repulsion cycle the electromagnet changes its polarity acting of same polarity of
the permanent magnet hence repulsion takes place causing the piston to be thrown
downwards.This polarity change is controlled by a dpdt switch connected to the
electromagnet
