An engineering student, Muhammad Mubashir Shah from the School of Transport, demonstrated his project titled “Electromagnetic Engine: Harnessing Magnetic Force for Sustainable Power.”

Muhammad always wanted to be an engineer and enjoys creating things with motors and exploring how machines work. Engineering has always been something he loved, and that passion inspired him to build his own electromagnetic engine prototype.

He developed an innovative electromagnetic engine prototype that shows principles to replace the conventional engine head with an electromagnetic system.

In this design, a permanent magnet is attached to the piston, and electromagnetic coils are positioned above the cylinder. Using a microcontroller board (ESP32), he programmed the precise control of electromagnetic fields to create timed attraction and repulsion, driving the piston up and down similar to a traditional engine cycle—without fuel combustion. This concept aims to offer a cleaner, more efficient alternative to internal combustion engines.

Muhammad aims to continue researching and developing this idea further, with the goal of building a fully functional prototype and contributing meaningfully to the advancement of sustainable engine technology.
