Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If conventional internal combustion engines are used, then power generation is achieved through fuel combustion, but fuel consumption, friction, heat, and emissions reduce engine life and require complex cooling systems

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the internal combustion mechanism with a magnetic field-based propulsion system. Electromagnets mounted on the piston and corresponding magnets in the cylinder head create magnetic attraction and repulsion forces that move the piston, eliminating combustion, fuel consumption, and associated emissions while reducing friction and heat generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental operating parameters of the engine by transitioning from thermal energy conversion (combustion) to electromagnetic energy conversion. This parameter change eliminates the need for fuel combustion, complex cooling systems, and reduces harmful emissions while extending engine life

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Duration of action of moving object

If magnetically propelled engines are used to eliminate fuel and emissions, then engine life is extended, but strong magnetic fields pose safety risks to occupants

Engineering Contradiction:
