I specialize in building miniature tools but have also explored solenoid engines and have built a few. These might interest some. Ralph

Hi Ralph,
Thats a nice little engine it's nice to see a mixture of wood and metal. What size batteries did you use? Did you wind your own coil? Turned ou well.
Cheers David

Thanks David. Yes, I like to work with wood and metal and believe that the combination of the two yields nice results when the mechanics is combined with electrical circuitry to produce a device. I think of it as art in motion. I have wound my own solenoide, but the one used in this engine is commercial from a surplus store. It is rated at 24 volts, so I used 4 9v batteries in series to power this one as shown below. See my others on TouTube under "miniature tools by Art Rafael". Ralph
