Title: Simple Solenoid Engine II
Post by: flyingtractors1 on October 08, 2012, 01:51:20 PM

I've built a series of simple Solenoid Engines just for fun and quick gratification.   :coffee:

That's neat  :thumbup:

And you have thought of everything: there's even a little chimney, in case the magic smoke is ever released from the electrics.

Thanks Andy.  Yea, I've thought about putting a wick down the chimney to simulate real smoke billowing out.   :lol:  Ralph

Thanks Ken.  I now believe that the greatest fun was in building this engine, ( as is probably the case generally ).  Think I'll build another with some variations.  Ralph

 :zap: I do quite like your little project there, what did you scavenge the solenoid out of or did you roll your own? :borg:
Cheers

Thanks Graham.  I picked up the soleniod - and others - at a local surplus store.  Figured I could do something with em, and several things have resulted.  I have rolled my own just to declare that I could do it, but some times I just take the easier route and fabricate the parts that can't be readily had.  Ralph

Thanks Baldrocker.  Photos 31 & 32 are my best buddy, Chico.  He inspects everything I do, distracts me when I need it (and when I don't), and keeps that old cat at bay.  I'm sure you know what I mean.   :D  Ralph
