Title: V12 solenoid engine
Post by: Hagar on August 17, 2018, 11:32:58 AM
Hi everyone,

It's not finished yet, but most of the parts of my future V12 solenoid powered are now on my desk.
The six-in-line i showed here a few weeks ago is the base i worked on to make this new toy. Same solenoids, same cranckshaft, connecting rods, camshaft, micro-switches, gears...
The more known parts i use, the best it is to let a chance to make it start.

Here are some screen captures of the 3D model. Soon, the pictures of the real thing in assembling phase.

I must put in and set the compound crankshaft. A long and boring work to do. At the end there must be no resistance left. The holy graal is a perfectly free crankshaft.
As we say in France : crachons-nous dans les mains car il y a du pain sur la planche. ::)

Thank you.

It's a poor thing, compare to those i've seen here. But i feel proud to be among the model engine makers.
And i'm still amazed to read comments from USA or any other lands so far from my home. ^-^

Wherever you are in the world, great work is great work, and this is a great engine!

The workmanship displayed in your engine is of the highest quality, Hagar. You're doing top notch work!

I like this engine a lot. I've been thinking about a multi-cylinder solenoid engine myself and you have not only provided an example, but set the bar high.

Congratulations on this one and I'll be watching if you post a build of the next one.

Sure i will !

It's a great interest, for me, to see how other engine builders do the same job. So please, create your own multi-solenoid engine. Better solutions are waiting to be found. :noidea:

Truly lovely work, Hagar.  The fit and finish on your parts are really nice.  Beautiful engine.

Thank you Chuck.

I hope the W18 i'm working on will run as well as this one.
