What is a Solenoid ?
 A Solenoid is a coil of wire, When current runs through that coil of
wire, creates a electromagnet. A solenoid is a type of
electromagnet when the purpose is to generate a controlled
magnetic field . A solenoid can be more specifically classified as an
inductor rather than an electromagnet.
 Electromechanical device made up of coil which produces a
magnetic field when electric current is passed through it.
SOLENOID COIL

A solenoid is a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. The term

Solenoid refers to a long, thin loop of wire, often wrapped around
a mettalic core, which produces magnetic field when an electric
current is passed through it. Solenoid are important because they
can create controlled magnetic fields can be used as
electromagnets.
Parts used
 Solenoid coil
 Crankshaft
 Elctronic Relay
 Battery
 Switch Key
 CI piston
 Fly Wheel
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 fly wheel 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 voltage source.
Working of Solenoid Engine
 Solenoid engine is a engine which works on the movement of
solenoid.
 The engine runs using a simple 12v (lithium) battery and just a
simple flick of 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 repel 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
connectin 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.
 Cant be used for heavy vehicles.
 More chance for Magnetic distortions.
 Less efficient than current motors.
 Use batteries wired with higher voltage because higher voltage
electromagnetics are inherently more efficient.
