Custom Four-Cylinder Solenoid Engine
« on: January 30, 2020, 05:46:41 pm »
This little custom solenoid engine has a two volt lead-acid rechargeable battery.  I got it out to charge the battery and thought I would take a video.  I'm not sure that I have shown this before.

It is really nice to see that 4 coil solenoid motor again.


The maker's name is Grant Horn.


Below is a very small picture of his display that I lifted from an article that described him displaying these engines at shows in eastern PA.


Doug I think at least one of the engines in this picture is yours.
