"Direct current of course, as if there's such a thing as an ac battery" - i laughed at the matter of fact way you said this :-)
Nice work!

Parabéns, um dos melhores vídeos que ja vi por aqui. Ah, gostei dos agradecimentos no final, hahaha.

Liked it! I want to build some kind of RC car with electric engine (is less expensive than a internal comustion one) but I don't want to have lots of rpm... you know, rc cars are usually too reactive. I'd prefer something similar to real cars. This engine could be the thing I was searching :D
-
Cool. I like the overall configuration and relationship of the components.
-
Thank You Sir! Very Interesting!

Do the solenoids push the piston out, or do they drag it in?
-
nice craftsmenship
how much does it wiegh

@mrpete222 pete can you silence it a bit? it taps very loudly. is that shaft noise from the core of the solenoid? or is it the crank of the flywheel?
-
Nice engine, I'd consider lengthening the connecting rods in order to get the plungers better alligned to the solenoids, there is a slight angle on them at b.d.c wich may cause the solenoids to wear out too quickly..

@aussiezombie add a potenciometer
Any thoughts on how to control the speed? What about larger applications like cars or motorbikes? I'm looking at building a large scale engine like this using a device called a compulsator. These devices are used to power rail guns and generate extremely high currents. It's the only way I can think of to get some real horsepower out of a linear pulse engine. Any thoughts?

The only way to change the speed is to alter the timing or the duration of the power (all done with the cam. There is really no practical use for this engine.

Nice job. Try using hall effect sensors coupled to transistors to trigger the solenoids. Mount little neodemium magnets in the crankshaft, and place the hall sensors at the correct angle to obtain the timing you think is correct. These are frictionless, thus really improving your RPMs and delivering more useful work. But a great effort! I like it!

Thanks--would like to try that. Where do I get hall sensors. Do you have a wiring diagram for transistors??

Well done. A nice job.
Have you seen the electromagnetic engines at the Old Model Company Ltd.
They try to follow the time line.

I checked it out. VERY nice models--unique too.
