 ABSTRACT

 The prototype model namely ‘MAGNETIC REPULSION ENGINE’ is the

engine works on the repulsion principle of magnets. This engine is similar in
construction as that of typical IC engine. It can be used to perform various tasks
and functions that involve application of force or displacement of objects. This
method provides an environmental friendly, very high efficiency engine that can
complement or replace any engines that use fossil fuel, bio-fuel, solar power,
wind power, hydro power, electricity, storage energy, or other energy sources. It
consists of one magnet fixed at the top of the piston; the magnet is free to
reciprocate along with the piston. The second magnet is fixed at the cylinder
head. Both the magnets are facing each other with like poles .These engine does
not require any input source and works on the magnetic force of its own ,thus it
is eco-friendly and can be used in running automobiles ,industrial application,
power generation, etc. The engine can be best alternative for any type of fuel
consumption engines.
 Introduction
 Coal, petroleum, natural gas, water and nuclear energy are the five main energy
sources that have played important roles and have been widely used by human
beings.
 Magnetic engines are defined as 2-phases engine which has no exhaust emission,
higher efficiency such characters are seen in these kinds of engines. The
prototype model namely ‘MAGNETIC REPULSION ENGINE’ is the engine
works on the repulsion principle of magnets.
 It consists of magnet fixed at the top of the piston and another magnet fixed at
the piston head. Both the magnets are facing each other with like poles.
 In future the field of application of the engine will widen. Due to the rising fuel
costs, environmental issues and diminishing natural fuel reserves, magnetic
engine can become a workable alternative to many existing engines.
 Since the engine doesn’t have combustion, valves, water cooling system, fuel
pump, fuel lines, air and fuel filters and inlet and exhaust manifolds etc. can be
eliminated from the engine.
 The main challenge faced in designing an electromagnetic engine is that it has to
be as efficient as an internal combustion engine.
Electromagnet
 An electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental interactions of nature.
Electromagnetism is the physical interaction between electrically charged
particles.
 As proposed by Sir J C Maxwell, there are majorly four electromagnetic
interactions present.
 First, the force of attraction and repulsion between electric charges is inversely
proportional to the square of distance between them. Second, magnetic poles
always come in pairs, as electric charges do.
 Third, current flowing in a conductor produces a magnetic field around it.
Lastly a travelling electric field will produce a magnetic field, and vice-versa.
 An electromagnet is a type of magnet which possesses the ability to magnetize
and demagnetize as and when required.
 The reversal of direction of current, changes the magnetic poles across the iron
core. When electric current passes around the core, there is and energy
generation called magnetic flux.
 This magnetic flux is responsible for exerting the magnetic force.
Permanent magnets

 These are the most common type of magnets that we know and interact with
in our daily lives. E.g.; The magnets on our refrigerators. These magnets are
permanent in the sense that once they have been magnetized they retain a
certain degree of magnetism. Permanent magnets are generally made of
ferromagnetic material. Such material consists of atoms and molecules that
each have a magnetic field and are positioned to reinforce each other.

 Permanent Magnets can be classified into four types based on their

composition:
1. Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB or NIB)
2. Samarium Cobalt (SmCo)
3. Alnico
4. Ceramic or Ferrite
Construction:

 A MAGNETIC REPULSION ENGINE consists of a non-magnetic cylinder,

piston with connecting rod ,flywheel and crank shaft arrangement ,and a pair
of permanent magnets.
 The construction of these engine is similar as that of typical IC engine.
Here ,the spark plug and valves at the cylinder head is replaced by a
permanent magnet.
 Another permanent magnet is placed at the top of the piston which can freely
reciprocates along with the piston.
 Both the magnets are arranged in such a way that there surfaces are facing
each other with like poles.
 Small openings are provided at the cylinder for natural air circulation.
Working:

 As the name suggest, the MAGNETIC REPULSION ENGINE will work

on the principle of magnetism.
 When the piston at the BDC is provided with initial cranking effort ,it will
move from BDC to TDC causing 180o rotation of crank shaft.
 As the magnet placed at the top of the piston and magnet fix at cylinder
head are facing each other with like poles ,the repulsion force will start
acting on both the magnets .
 Minimum the distance between the magnets will cause higher repulsion
force . Therefore when piston reaches at TDC ,the repulsion force will
repel the magnets and thus the magnetic piston will move downward from
TDC to BDC causing further 180o rotation of crank shaft and thus one
complete rotation of crank shaft is obtained .
 After piston reaches BDC the flywheel will pull the piston back towards
TDC and thus cycle repeats.
 The engine will work on two stroke i.e compression and power stroke. In
this system, a permanent neodymium iron-boron magnet was adhered to
the top surface of the piston.
 Hence the magnet travelled along with the piston with reciprocating
motion. So there were two magnets stuck to each piston which
reciprocated within the cylinder.
 The magnets were fixed in such a way that the pole orientation was in the
same direction.
 For e.g. if the south poles of both the magnets were fixed to piston surface,
then the north poles were exposed to the atmosphere.

 Future Scope :

 As in present condition humans are heading toward the use of sources of

energy which are pollution free and eco-friendly.
 Thus the magnetic piston engine can be used as a better alternatives. It can be
used to perform various tasks and function that involve application of force
or displacement of objects.
 This engine is highly efficient as it does not uses any input source and it
works on its own power. It has the possibility of reaching unity-over
operation mode.
 It has the capability to replace the electric motors and any engine which
requires fuel burning to operate.
Conclusion :
 Hence, we have successfully and deeply learned about various types of
magnets, their grades, power, availability, operating condition, factors
affecting magnet power and many more.
 We have also learned about the difference between theoretical concept (i.e.
design and working) and actual concept of the engine. Also, we learned
about various difficulties arising during actual construction of engine.
 Due to these project we got very important information related to magnets
and various magnetically operating engines and various efforts being made
all over the world for developing an engine which are highly efficient, eco-
friendly and will run indefinitely.
