I'm between projects, trying to organize my album and found the video of my 4 cylinder - 4 stroke brass solenoid engine that I built a while back. Each cylinder is switched separately in line with the main switch and a rheostat with an LED indicator light in each circuit to show cylinder(s) "firing". Ralph |

That's very nice work there Ralph :clap: Lots of shiney metal and electrictrickery :zap: working beautifully :) You're going to have to do us a little project log on one of your next builds. I for one am very interested in all this solenoid engine stuff. I know there are a few others on here who like them too. Thank you for showing this... It boosted my interest in them once again.... I must get through my tuit list..... There are about 15 different types of engine on there amongst other projects! :Doh: Ralph. |

Thanks Ralph. I appreciate your interest and comments. This was a challenging project mechanically, and the "electrictrickery" was more so. I had a mental image of it and just proceeded with the build neglecting to document along the way. I'll be more attentive to this in the future. I did some build documentation on my latest engine, but I may have failed to post it. I'll back up and see about it. Ralph |

Thanks again. I may be able to recover a schematic and post it. In the mean time I have found some photos of my latest build and posted them in a new thread under "What's it -- Model solenoid engine". Ralph |
