Electric Vehicle Designs

CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION

A solenoid has a coil and a moving metal rod, which is called as armature. The Working principle is based on conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy, therefore solenoids are being considered as electromagnetic actuators. The coil is a made from a copper wire wound with a tiny pitch and placed in an iron-based material. The C- Frame is a structure that contributes to the magnetic field produced by the coil. By giving an electrical current to a solenoid coil generates a magnetic flux with intensity Proportional to the current.

The magnetic field pulls the armature in. The reason behind the plunger attraction is a ferromagnetic material with high magnetic permeability; here Air

So by that fact these vehicles are also known for their no emission and powered by renewable energy sources. In general, Electrical Vehicle are driven and controlled by the summation of electrical, electronic and mechanical components, but the main component which actually moves these Vehicles are the electric motor. The Working Principle of .Electric motor is converting Electrical energy into kinetic energy.

This energy conversion is the main purpose of an Electric motor therefore this actuator are highly popularised in most Electrical Vehicles Designs. The idea of this project is to take another alternative design of Electrical Vehicle Prime mover to replace electric motor.

CHAPTER 2 HISTORY

The story is related to the rise and fall of the electro-magnetic engine.

During the 1700s and 1800s, there are many interesting and little understood electrical experiments which were conducted both here and in abroad that led to the discovery of the electric motor.

In the era of 1800, Volta invented a form of a battery that enhanced electrical experiments which relied on a form of capacitance for electrical

In 1831, Faraday discovered the magnetic field and so the effect of an electrified coil on steel and on a permanent magnet and vice-versa.

Faraday's experiments and discoveries were also useful inventions, including the multipolar motor in 1838 by Jacobi, the telegraph in 1840 by Wheetstone and Morse, the dynamo in 1871 by Gramme, and the telephone in 1876 by Bell to mention a few.

In 1845, one entrepreneur whose name was Bourbouze, wanted to capitalize on the electric coil 'solenoid effect' in a giant manner. He made solenoid driven by crankshaft engines powered by full of batteries, as an alternative to the current steam power.

Therefore Bourbouze removed the cylinder, piston and valve system from a steam engine and replaced it a large electric coil, an armature, a switch arrangement for
