Abstract This study investigates methods to enhance the energy conversion efficiency of electromagnetic repulsion mechanisms. Initially, a model considering the influence of the resistance coefficient on electromagnetic repulsion mechanisms is developed based on electromagnetic principles. Sensitivity analysis of the resistance coefficient is conducted to elucidate its role in energy conversion efficiency. Subsequently, finite element analysis techniques are applied to simulate electromagnetic repulsion mechanisms across varying resistance coefficients to determine the optimal value. Experimental validation of theoretical models and numerical simulation results is then performed, with precise adjustments made to the resistance coefficient during experiments, and energy conversion efficiency accurately measured under diverse conditions. The results indicate a significant improvement in energy conversion efficiency following resistance coefficient optimization. Numerical simulations reveal that setting the resistance coefficient to 0.85Ω yields optimal energy conversion efficiency, with a 23.5% enhancement over the pre-optimized state. Experimental validation corroborates these findings, demonstrating an average 22% increase in energy conversion efficiency compared to the unoptimized state. Comparative analysis with related studies demonstrates an average improvement of 23.5% in energy conversion efficiency, with the maximum enhancement reaching 25.0%. This underscores the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed optimization model. This discovery offers new avenues for designing and enhancing electromagnetic repulsion mechanisms and presents opportunities for improving energy efficiency and performance in associated applications.
