4 cylinder - 4 stroke Boxster

(1/2) > >>

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".

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:

flyingtractors1:
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

That'd be great if you could  :thumbup:




The mention of the rheostat made me aware that there were probably a few little secrets tucked away in that box  :smart:


I'll keep an eye out for any updates on your build  :proj:

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
