Vehicle Propulsion using Switching Magnetic(SM) Energy

“Today’s theories shape tomorrow’s reality” and “tomorrow’s standard of living will depend on the success of today’s theories”. These old truths, having proved themselves so many times in our history, should make us responsible for the implementation, creation, development, distribution of new scientific theories. The idea of Switching Magnetic Energy is obtained from the principle of Electromagnetic Induction. Electromagnetic induction like in Maglev principle involves the use of electromagnets, which by changing their polarity, sets up attractive and repulsive forces on the lateral sides to propel the train forward and levitate. This magnetic push-pull principle is used in this project to propel an automobile. This concept of mine aims at designing and fabricating a prototype model of a vehicle which runs on an alternative form of propulsion technique i.e., magnetic power. The vehicle was built, assembling of mechanical and electrical components, which perform the desired function of energy conversion from electrical to magnetic power and thus to mechanical energy of rotation. For this purpose various components were designed and were chosen accordingly to meet the requirements of the prototype vehicle and which could give satisfactory results regarding its performance parameters such as power, speed, overall efficiency, etc., which can make this concept a very feasible one. The performance of the prototype was done by various tests conducted. These tests showed the efficiency of the prototype at the crankshaft which was between 70 to 72% sustaining 300W of input power.
