Simple Solenoid Engine

[flyingtractors1]

I've decided to take a step back and build a simpler solenoid engine.

Those are a fun and simple to build project. I did one with 2 solenoids and scotch yoke.

That's a little guy. What is the flywheel?

Yes, and fun is the best thing to have. I've posted a Scotch Yoke version and various other more complex solenoid engines in this forum. The flywheel is an old casino dollar token; the eccentric is an old copper penny, and the crank is a nickel. Ralph

Thanks. I just needed to do something simple for fast gratification. It was a fast fun build and fun to play with. Ralph
