A method of converting piston driven engines to operate on electricity.
The head is removed from the engine. A solenoid tube, approximately twice
as long as the stroke of the engine piston, for identification purposes,
called a Double Length Solenoid Tube (13) or DLST (13) is fitted with
flanges approximately on each end and in the middle, and is wound with
suitable wire in layers from end flanges to middle making two separate
magnetic coils on the DLST (13) a bar, which can be temporarily
magnetized, for identification purposes is called the power magnet, PM
(16) is attached to a rod, which cannot be magnetized, for identification
purposes, called the Power Rod, PR (21) is fastened to the top of the
engine piston (31). When the engine piston (31) approaches Top Dead
Center, TDC, the PM (16) is in the top half of the DLST (13)
approximately at this position the bottom magnetic coil (85) is energized
pulling the PM (16) and the PR (21) down; pushing the engine piston (31)
down; turning the crankshaft (34) from 0 degree to 180 degrees. When the
engine piston (31) is at Bottom Dead Center, BDC, the PM (16) is as close
to the center of the crankshaft (34) as it can be. The top coil is
energized, magnetically pulling the PM (16) the PR (21) and the engine
piston (31) up; turning the crankshaft from 180 degrees to 360 degrees,
completing the cycle. Therefore, by using a double length solenoid tube
with two coils, a solenoid magnet bar 16 pushes down on the downstroke
and pulls up on the upstroke to the engine piston delivering power to the
crankshaft on every stroke. Included in specifications is an electrical
switching system, two cooling systems and a lubrication system. This
method can be applied to any piston driven engine.
