Working of Solenoid Engine

1. C G P I T SOLENOID ENGINE CLASS MECH-B BATCH-B2 SUB:- Engineering Physics Presented by:- Soumya Hiren Jay Drashti

2. What Is a Solenoid ? A Solenoid is a coil of wire but you run current through that Coil of wire, we create electromegnet .

3. Working of Solenoid Apply Current. Magnetic field Builds. Stop & plunger become attracting Magnets. Megnetic force Derived plunger to stop.

4. What Is Solenoid Engine ? An engine which works with the help of solenoid is called solenoid engine. It converts the magnetic energy of the field produced by solenoid into mechanical energy. The speed of the flywheel depends on the intensity of magnetic field generated by solenoid. Hence, high voltage will result in more rpm of flywheel. It can be constructed with simple copper wires, crank, crankshaft, flywheel and a voltage source.

6. Working of Solenoid Engine The engine runs using a simple 9V (PP3) battery and just a simple flick of the flywheel . I do like the ease with which you can construct a base using wood (as you may have noticed lots of my engines have been like this. The brass mushrooms along the top of the frame are there purely to wrap the connecting wires around to keep them tidy. The copper wire is laquered and so no worries about shorting. he connecting rod was made using two brass bushes (the big-end has a ball race in the centre) and some thin copper tube flattened and then soldered to the brass bushes . The switch is a small micro-switch with an arm that has a roller on it  The piston (armature) and cylinder (electromagnet) are both machined from ebony. The piston is a loose fit and has a 6mm hole through the centre into which I push 5 magnets (cut from the ends of geomag bars). Using magnets means that if you get the polarity correct when you apply a current to the electromagnet it always pulls the armature to the middle of the electromagnet - this way the engine is double acting with just a simple switch and cam that operate as the piston goes just over TDC and BDC.
