Latest Projects Based on Electromagnet

In Automobiles the clutches started to become popular over the past years, the variety of applications and clutch designs has increased dramatically, but the basic operation remains the same.

About the project

As well all know that it was the wright bros who gave the first successful manned flight to the world, and there are better proofs that eight years earlier to wright bros, an Indian Sanskrit scholar S B Talpade designed a basic aircraft called marutshakti, unmanned aerial vehicle at Chowpatty beach in Bombay, crediting him the first creator of an aircraft in modern times. He used Vedic technology for designing the aircraft.

We all know about the golden rule spoken about in aeronautical domain. “Take off is optional but landing is mandatory”. Wright Bros changed the travel dimensions by designing an airplane which could successfully ascend or take-off, cruise in the air, descend or land successfully. A designed path or area in any airport in any airdrome where ascend and descend of the airplane is carried out is called as a Runway (as per International civil aviation organization ICAO).

About the project

Ever wondered how bicycle wheels rotate along with a fixed frame, how the windmill blades rotate on a fixed tower. The magic of degrees of freedom, kinematics constraints. Basic motions achieved by a bearing is an axial rotation, linear motion, spherical rotation, hinge motion.

About the project

Ever wondered one the important factors involved when you are traveling for 100’s to 1000’s of kilometer? Ever thought of the comfort with which you have completed the journey with body organs stayed in the same place? Ever have you compared the modern travel with bullock cart? Suspension.

About the project

As we all know that when the artificial power replaces the human effort and animal effort, the speed and time variables changed significantly. A mechanism was required to change the artificial power to mechanical or movement effort. The earliest demonstration which showed artificial power replacing the human effort was gunpowder engines in the 16th century, where the effort of living beings to pull water was replaced by engines.

About the project

As we the importance of initial push required for the vehicles which travel a very high velocity and these factors affect the initial momentum of the high-velocity vehicle. To overcome these, an external push is applied through various sources like a railgun, a catapult but of these have their own application.

About the project

A guass accelerator or a coil gun is a device that uses a magnetic field to launch a ferromagnetic projectile. These accelerators are stored with a high amount of charge using capacitors. Basically, these are used to accelerate ferromagnetic projectiles. These accelerators are also known as Coil gun.

An automobile as we all know is an integral part of mankind’s day to day needs. Automobile technology as penetrated into different categories like emergency like transporting a patient in the ambulance or a war weapon to the war field, sports racing, the business application like transportation of goods, transportation of meetings and the list goes on.

One of the advanced technologies which use a higher temperature for producing output is plasma technology. One associated application of it is plasma propulsion. Plasma propulsion is a technology in which the propellant is in an ionized or plasma state.

Maglev trains are a revolutionary development in railways systems as well as transportation engineering. The speed, the smooth operations, convenience, easy maintenance has made it is a basic need for any developing country to manage the transportation of citizens.

In the world of diminishing fossil fuels alternative fuel and new methods of transportation are the only way to keep the human race able to transport larger distance with ease and for this one of the ways is the introduction of electromagnetic engines in normal assembly lines for easing the transportation sector with no pollution and good efficiency for vehicles which can be used in mass transportation sectors like buses. Reciprocating internal combustion engines, e.g. Otto and Diesel cycle engines are a major factor in just about every aspect of life here and abroad. Reciprocating internal combustion engines facilitate our way of life by providing us with transportation, consumer products, safety, medical assistance, and power generation to name only a few. However, reciprocating internal combustion engines suffer from disadvantages, many of which would no longer be acceptable if there were an alternative to the use of these engines that option is provided by Electromagnetic Engines.

Project Requirements:

For this project you will be requiring a sound knowledge of working of IC engines which can help you develop this project and the concept of electromagnetism and how we can use DC current to generate an alternating DC current.

Following are the elements required for construction of this Engine:

1. 3D Printer:will be required to build custom engine parts which will be light weight and strong enough to sustain engine loads.
2. Neodyium Permanent Magnets:These magents will be used to provide a constant pole on the piston top.(either south or north).
3. Copper Windings: Copper windings will be required to form a solenoid around the soft iron to increase the field strength of the magnetic force.
4. Relay Circuit: if we are using DC current for powering of circuit we will need this to change the polarity or generally in this case cut off the current during specific time interval for effective operation.
5. Soft iron Core: used to increase the strength of the magnetic field.

Project Description

1. For prototyping of this engine, we can use the 3D printer to make the external body of the engine.
2. First design the parts of IC engine in any modeling software like Solidworks, CATIA, Unigraphics etc.
3. Design the piston head in such a way that it has a slot for fixing a permanent magnet inside and in the location of cams and inlet ports add a solenoid with a rod inside to magnify its power.
4. Check the printed parts for accuracy and give them good surface finish especially the piston head and cylinder because they will be in constant movement.
5. Once finishing the assembly all the parts of the engine.
6. For permanent magnets fix the permanent neodymium magnets in the slots and seal it making your pistons permanent magnets in this setup.
7. In cylinder head fix the soft iron rod with thin gauge copper wire to act as the solenoid and provide current to it from a battery which in middle has a relay circuit which will break the current supply on particular time intervals.
8. Connect a small alternator to the crankshaft to generate electricity and supply the charge to the battery.

Software requirements:

1. Solidworks:Software well versed to design and generate 3D CAD models and works well in Windows OS
2. Slicer Software: Any slicing software will work fine since at the end we will need it to print CAD models we drew in Solidworks and use them as parts of the Engine making the manufacturing relatively cheaper and faster compared to traditional techniques.

Today the biggest problem we are facing in the electronics industry is the size of the battery as gadgets get thinner and smaller day by day.

An electromagnetic shock absorber uses magnetic energy which can be actively controlled according to the load applied on the vehicle. A magnetorheological fluid is used for controlled damping.

Wireless Power Transfer technology removes the disadvantage of using the wired technology that is prevalent today. Certain drawbacks of wired power transfer technology being used are the reason for adopting wireless power transfer technology.

About the project

Electromagnetic propulsion (EMP), is the principle of accelerating an object by the flowing electrical current and magnetic fields. The electrical current is used to create an opposing magnetic field for repell. When a current flows through a conductor in a magnetic field, an electromagnetic force known as a Lorentz force, pushes the conductor to perpendicular to the conductor and the magnetic field.

Project Description

Rotating shafts have applications as power transmitting devices everywhere around us. Car engines, aeroplane engines, fans,etc use a rotating shaft to transmit power. These shafts can experience whirling if they are not properly machined or installed. An unbalance in the shaft, misalignment of bearings or an external impact affects the life of the shaft. It will fail if it reaches its critical speeds.
