A few weeks ago I posted concerning an idea I have to build my first IC engine, somewhat along the lines of Henry Ford's first engine but with a modern twist: solenoid actuated valve(s) triggered by an Arduino, with Hall effect and/or optical sensors. I am well on my way to doing this. I am...

I have an idea to build a sort of modern hit and miss engine. I want to use an encoder, a logic chip (like Arduino) and tiny solenoids for valve actuation. I want to use a very large flywheel and want to achieve as infrequent combustion as possible and slow rpm. My questions: 1. Does this...
