Two Banger II

Here is the finished motor, the one featured in some of my other videos. It is powered by two Nimh cells (2.4 VDC). The run time on these? about 72 hours. The motor is made from barstock, the flywheel was a PM research casting. The other parts that were needed were two swithes and 0.015 wire. x 150 feet.
You will be able to see this motor at the North American Model Engineering Society Show at the Seagate convention center in Toledo OH , April 21 & 22, 2007. It will be entered in Sherline's Machinist challenge. Be Sure to vote for it while you are there.

Do you make your own solemoids?

[mascobe]

Yes.

[HaydenPK]

can you tell us how this works?

[mascobe]

It runs off of two Ni-Mh 1.2 V batteries. The linkage allows for two power strokes per revolution of the crank shaft. There is a micro switch that is operated by a cam with two lobes 180 degrees apart on the crank shaft that times when the solenoid gets power. The solenoid only provides a pulling force. The solenoid is turned on when the linkage is furthest out of alignment and is turned off just before it is the straightest.

Just the flywheel, the rest is steel and aluminum.
