A new electromagnetically powered engine for powering vehicles and other devices which utilize an engine. The inventive device includes a plurality of pistons made of a ferromagnetic material disposed for reciprocation within insulative cylinders. A conductive coil is disposed around each of the cylinders for actuating the pistons when electricity is supplied to the coils. The pistons are connected with a crankshaft for converting reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion of the crankshaft which is then utilized to power the vehicle or other device. The electricity is distributed to the coils in sequential fashion by a conventional distribution system.
