Inline Rocker Solenoid Motor

[Coilmotorworks]

Here is a solenoid based motor that I had built a prototype of 20 plus years ago. Unfortunately the original got lost someplace so I had to work from memory. The solenoid uses 0.015" wire. It will idle at about 6VDC and will have an average current draw of about 300ma. The micro switch is a 125VDC 5A. The connecting rod has the equivalent of a universal joint on both ends.

Good job , seems that not many people are messing around with these, I think there really neat.
I've built my share and have recently started thinking on another, keep up the good work.

Thanks Gus. Do you go to Cabin Fever or NAMES or both?

Nice. Does it go fast? Years ago I triesd one of these as a school project. My intensions were good but the thing refused to work. It was a 2 cylinder model. Took years before I learned that cranks must be 90 degrees separated.

Is it fast? Skip to 1:27. This is a very powerful single solenoid motor.

Never been to CF but I have been to NAMES every year but 2002 since 1999. One of my goals is to make it out as soon as my income can support that trip... I wont be at NAMES this year either as the the funds are real short right now too.
