Solenoid EV System using 555 IC Timer

Conventional electric vehicles (EVs) have complex rotary Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs), which require sophisticated control algorithms due to their complex electro-mechanical coupling, posing challenges in system integration.Our investigation delves into the viability of a Solenoid Powered Engine (SPE) as a disruptive linear actuation technology for electric vehicles (EVs). Inspired by the reciprocating motion of internal combustion engines, the SPE strategically positions linear solenoids controlled by a low-cost 555 timer integrated circuit (IC) to generate propulsive thrust. This approach eliminates the need for brushes and commutators found in traditional rotary Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs), potentially leading to a more robust and lower-maintenance system with reduced operational complexity. Furthermore, the inherent modularity of solenoids offers superior design flexibility compared to conventional EV drivetrains, with the potential to overcome packaging and scalability limitations that hinder current architectures. The SPE's inherent simplicity, achieved through the absence of intricate motor components, has the potential to reduce manufacturing costs and enhance manufacturability compared to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs).
