Knex four cylinder engine running off solar or Fischertechnik Robo Pro controller.

More engines, the Knex one isn't strictly correct, some of the valves are missing and the crank wasn't quite right at the time the video was taken - pistons 2 and 3 should be moving up and down together, also in the background is the first Fischertechnik engine, better videos of which exist elsewhere on You tube. The engine is shown running off two standard Knex solar motors, it will run happily on just one. The 'solar' motor was also connected to a Fischertechnik Robopro controller to run the engine off that. Please ignore any funny spelling in the control panel on the PC screen, this was us just messing about.

@Delias2001 Sounds good - post it on here when you've built it! :-))

Hi - yes it is. The gears should be exactly 2 to 1. The Knex gears aren't quite right, but the effect is there.
