Electronically Guided Governor Engine
Ok the name is little misleading thinking what the hell is an EGG engine. Good marketing strategy, but now that you are here.
The other day I was cleaning my tool box and came across this little fellow.
Its a small 5-volt push solenoid. I suddenly decided to put it to work and use it for governing a hit and miss engine.
This is what I am thinking to do. Have a micro controller monitor the speed of the engine. Once reached certain RPM, then the solenoid will be engaged and prevent the push rod from retracting back, and keep exhaust open until the PRM droppes back to certain range which at that point the solenoid will be pulled back.
So far I am on the design phase.
Engine Specification
Bore: .75”
Stroke: .75”
Fly Wheel 3.5” diameter (2)
Name: EGG Engine (Stands for Electronically Guided Governor Engine)
Borna
