The base idea of this paper is to control the electromagnetic engine to enhance a smooth rotation by measuring distance of the piston using an IR sensor. This electromagnetic engine consists of an electromagnet, permanent magnet, Infrared Sensor, powerful microcontroller and power supply. The permanent magnet acts as a piston in this electromagnetic engine, it has magnetic field energy for a proper function. The position of permanent magnet has to be noted for electromagnets energisation in order to reduce power consumption by electromagnet. The infrared sensor mounted with electromagnet set and pointed towards permanent magnet, whenever the permanent magnet moves towards electromagnet, sensor reads the change in magnetic piston position. The electromagnet is energized on the reach of permanent magnet near electromagnet. Control of electromagnets power supply is depends on the signal provided by IR sensor, this sensor is mainly makes timing control of power drive circuit through the microcontroller. This makes engine to run continuously and reducing its power consumption by providing a pulse to electromagnet.
