Hi bajrang76

No complicated wiring. See the comments below for an explanation of how it runs. Thanks for watching

The design of those solenoids are like really old solenoids. Good job!

@CoolHatMan100 Thanks. I wound the coils myself by holding the central steel bar in the lathe and running it at its lowest speed while holding the copper wire to wind it on.

wouldent this be considered a " motor" and not an engine?

Hi,

Its electric but has a crank shaft so I suppose its a bit of each. Cheers and thanks for looking.

[bajrang76]

your video is excellent.does the piston reciprocate automatically by giving supply to the solenoid (OR)is any complicated wiring needed?

oh thanks

Part 3

When the bar has rocked to its full extent in one direction the cam closes the contact which allows power to flow to the solenoids and energises them. The magnetic pull returns the bar to the vertical position where the cam cuts the power and the momentum of the flywheel carries the bar to the opposite extrem where the cam makes contact again and the cycle repeats. Hope that explains it well enough.

Part 2

The steel bar has a vertical post fixed to it from a con rod connects to the crank.

Hi

Part 1.

The central part of each solenoid sticks out and has a vertical pin pressed into it. The steel bar has 2 holes drilled into it in line with the steel pins. The holes are approx double the diameter of the pins. The holes are countersunk on both sides of the steel bar. The steel bar simply drops onto the pins. Because the holes are larger than the pins and countersunk the bar is free to rock back and forth.
