 What is a Solenoid?
A solenoid is a coil of wire, in which when a stream of current
passes through, it creates an electromagnet, forming a magnetic
field of its own.
 Solenoid Coil

• A solenoid coil is a coil wound into tightly packed helix.

• The term solenoid refers to a long, thin loop of wire,
often wrapped around a metallic core, which produces a
magnetic field when an electric current is passed through
it.
• Solenoids are important because they can create
controlled magnetic field and can be used as
electromagnets.
 Parts Used

Solenoid coil
Crank Shaft
Battery (9v)
Switch Key
Piston
Wooden Base
 Basic Function

Our project basically deals with the electromagnetic field concept

which is used to produce magnetic force to run the piston and that
force transferred to the connecting rod and ultimately it rotates
the crank shaft and that is how the engine delivers the required
power.
 Working of a solenoid

• Apply Current.
• Magnetic field gets generated
• Stop and plunger become attracting magnets
• Magnetic force derived plunger to stop
 What Is Solenoid Engine ?
• An engine which works with the help of solenoid is called solenoid engine.
• It converts the magnetic energy 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.

 Working of Solenoid Engine
• Solenoid engine is a engine which works on the movement of solenoid .
• The engine runs using a simple 9V (Lithium) battery and just a simple flick of
the flywheel.
• When we supplies the current through a coil then due to electromagnetism
it generates magnetic field around that coil.
• Due to that the rod inside get repell or attract based on the direction of
current
• solenoid engine the reciprocating motion of solenoid is converted into
rotary by connecting it to crank shaft through a connecting rod
 MERITS

• Maintenance cost is less as compared to the piston cylinder engine

• Complete elimination of pollutant emission
• Amount of power developed is constant
• Less consumption of lubricating oil
 DEMERITS

• More amount of Charge Required

• Can’t be used for heavy vehicles
• More chance for Magnetic distortions
