We present and analyse a protocol for operating a quantum engine. Our engine is based on trapped laser-driven Rydberg ions, which constitute a quantum simulation platform where internal and external degrees of freedom can be controlled precisely. Our engine operates under out-of-equilibrium conditions in a setting where external laser-driving competes with dissipation and coherent interaction. We show that for a system of two trapped ions extractable work can be stored in the relative external motion of the trapped ions. We explore a driving protocol and quantify the stored work via the so-called ergotropy: the maximum amount of work that can be obtained from a quantum system.
