  • wow, ive never seen a solenoid motor, that is really cool. im going to have to make this. good job!

  • Thanks--I am working on a double solenoid engine at present. Watch for it on youtube soon.

  • Hi,

    have you done some comparsion to regular DC-motors?

  • No, not sure I understand the ques.

  • The switch looks like a leaf switch from a arcade machine button?

  • It just a standard (over the counter) micro switch from ace hardware.

  • adding a steam cylinder and its valve will result an long life A.C. generator.

  • very cool :-))

  • @TheKaos90 Why don't you build one of each and see if you can get the same power output. It runs on pulsating DC, just like any piston engine runs on a pulsating energy source.

    That is the point of the model.

  • NICE !

    but why ?

    is there a benefit to a linear motor?

    compared to a regular spinning one ?

    to me it seems to only introduce allot of additional friction

  • @sushimotoo Well , mrpete asks if the torque output is higher in comparisson with a conventional dc engine using the same power as this one.

    Q2: is it running on AC ?

  • How efficient is this? might be something to put on a bicycle .

  • One problem is that it is not self starting. If the piston was mounted vertically and above the flywheel, the weight of the piston would tend to make the flywheel stop with the piston out of the solenoid. Then when power is applied, the switch would be on and the piston would be ready to be pulled into the solenoid.

  • Please do a tutoral on how to make this solenoid!

  • my mom walked thrue the room and herd the music and asked WHAT ARE YOU WACHING!!!???...and i get it...it kinda sounds porno-ish
