Abstract:

21st century, the world of hurry and busy, the social media is always in buzz with accidents which will cause loss of life and property. Drunk and drive, using communication devises while driving and rash driving which are usually does by the carelessness of the user, on the other hand lack of quality in manufacturing are the causes of these accidents up to greater extinct. There are few safety equipments like airbags, breaks, seatbelts and bumpers etc. bumpers is a main fragment which is attached to front and rear of an automobile which protects passengers from severe collisions. The normal bumpers made of steel and plastic fails while greater impacts, and costly to replace after damage. This article deals with special type of bumper which works on electromagnetic repulsion. The design and modeling of electromagnetic bumper is made of METGLASS rod winded with copper wire which is connected to DC supply. The model is attached with sensor which detects the opposing vehicle, this triggers the electromagnet to generate the required electromagnetic field to repulse the force which is generated by vehicle moving with a greater velocity of 33m/sec. To achieve the supporting results the model is embedded with principles of momentum. This model on proper implementation will enhance the protection by improve the crash worthiness during collision, and also the weight can be altered so that to attain fuel economy and minimizes the loss life and property.
