Concept Solenoid for the Green Energy Engine

Abstract

The need to reduce emissions from IC engine-powered vehicles is of paramount importance, as Malaysia has pledged to reduce 40% CO2 intensity by 2020 from 2005 levels with a 25% increase in average fuel consumption. The introduction of the Solenoid Engine (SE) is one of the initiatives, but the electromagnetic engine can face several disadvantages: restricted drive distance, thermal control, charging infrastructure, and overall efficiency. This study presents an electromagnetic drive system for vessel use which has different operating sequences compared to IC engines. It works with the principle of magnetic attraction and rejection between electromagnetic and permanent magnets. Power supply disruption made through bamboo switches to move down the piston. Therefore, the piston rear movement occurs without failure. This experiment was conducted on the determination of the performance of the electromagnetic engine by applying the load applied to the crank hole. Efficiency has been found in the SE model in the range of 12-20%. However, it can be achieved by about 40-45% by tightening the electromagnetic magnetic flux and aligning, accurately installing the piston and cylinder and avoiding leaking magnetic flux and heat generation, and development of pistons and cylinders with aluminum alloys and metal liners.
