A fly wheel to soak up and store energy . Will Smooth out the power curve.

Not only does it look great but the sound it makes makes it feel almost like a train.

Very cool! You could put an encoder on the shaft to measure the actual rotation with the Arduino. also you might be able to make the solenoids smoother by driving them with a sine wave.

I think the problem with the choppy running is because you're trying to replicate the layout of an internal combustion engine, when a solenoid behaves much more closely to a steam engine. with an ICE you only have a relatively short power stroke, with an instant burst of power at the top of the stroke that then gradually peters out as the cylinder is pushed down by the explosive force. with a steam engine however high pressure steam steam is entering the cylinder for the entire power stroke (typically using a sliding valve to regulate the timing, as the faster an SE runs the less steam it needs for each stroke). just like how a solenoid uses an electric current to drive the rod down for the entirety of its stroke. A solenoid can also be reversed just like a steam engine, you just have to reverse the polarity rather than redirecting steam. in this case I feel you would get superior running if you removed two of the solenoids and made the two remaining ones double acting, meaning they can fire in both forward and reverse. I would also recommend arranging the crank to a 90 degree offset rather than 180 degree, as this means there's always a power stroke occurring no matter what point of rotation the crank is at and it's impossible to stall. this would make the engine as a whole more compact and you would get a smoother torque cycle for the rotation of the crank and if you used an inline bank of 3 solenoids offset on the crank by 120 degrees then you would get an even smoother application of power as you now have 6 power strokes in a revolution rather than just 4.

I'm subscribing. I think your problem solving has its own unique properties. I enjoy watching and seeing the evolution of your interesting construction projects. Thanks for sharing on so many levels. It's fun and entertaining.

You could try a different engine type. A radial engine would probably work best for a solenoid engine, since it's much easier to keep the firing pattern going at higher speeds without missing strokes. Another option would be to change the crankshaft to a cross-plane shaft or to increase the piston count to 6 or 8, since it makes it much smoother since the gaps between power strokes is smaller.

I think you need a good capacitors to deliver high amount of charge from the battery before going through the solenoid engine coil.. By doing that, it will generate high amount of torque judging the size of those solenoids as well as the engine strokes.. By the way, the solenoids engine sounds really nice.. Love your creativity.. Keep it up good work!

Great video! I know the feeling, sometimes it takes many attempts to get the electronics working right!

An electric engine like this would be great for making an all electric car with a stick shift and clutch, for use in sports like drifting, or rally where shifting skill is half of the fun while driving. It saves the feel of the sport while being more green because performance cars normally have very bad emissions.

Mooi gemaakt echt super knap met dat programmeren

Compact design and outstanding engineering. Keep rising.. ❤️👍

Netjes! Leuk project. Ik ga je volgen. Ook mooi video werk en bondige commentaren zonder nodeloos geklets. Complimenten!

This is the second-coolest thing I have seen today! Ha! :-)

Subbed in an instant. Good content.

Geweldig leuk!!! Goed dat je nog even hebt doorgezet!

The sound is already great.

Nice work!

Cool idea keep up the work

Your work is good. Double the voltage to make it go fast and everything will go fine

Mooi gedaan. Concept werkt. Lijkt mijn eerste auto wel 😉

Het duurde mij 41 seconden voor ik door had dat het Nederlands was! Ik zou je stem door een gate en compressor halen, dit om het achergrond geluid weg te filteren en je stem volume gelijk te trekken. Dit kun je dan weer door RNNoise halen om al het achtergrond geluid weg te moffelen!

Cool project. *thumbs up*

Super leuke en interessante video! Ik wist helemaal niet dat er een goed Nederlands engineering kanaal op youtube was tot nu. Meteen geabonneerd! Voor de vertanding van de wagen zou ik deze gewoon 1 op 1 maken met nog een spanner zodat je hier een beetje mee kunt spelen en ook denk ik dat de gegoten banden te zwaar zijn. De banden van alleen PLA zouden grip genoeg hebben voor de snelheid wat hij nu bereikt. Het lijkt me wel interessant om te zien dat je hem RC maakt. Het sturen van de voorwielen is niet lastig om te 3D printen. Als je wilt sturen zul je wel grip nodig hebben op de voorbanden indien je geen differentieel hebt. Hiervoor kun je ook experimenteren met de plek van de motor zodat je meer gewicht op de voorbanden krijgt.

als je de lichtsensors via een vario koppelt aan de as kun je ook nog een mechanisch tweaken met de timing. en wellicht kun je de as opdelen in 4 delen om 4 verschillende timings te krijgen, hierdoor zal het systeem wat soepeler lopen..

Also, you would have to use a sensored controller and hook up a hall effect sensor to the output shaft with magnets to get a proper readout since the resistance of the solenoid wires is likely a lot higher than BLDC motors.

Here's an idea. Take the design of a DC motor with inner rotor with brushes and outer stator. Now turn the design inside out. The stator has six coils on one side and six on the other. The coils are connected in series around the edge. 12 lead outs are taken to a fixed commutator. The rotor would be 14 bar magnets. Power is fed to two brushes via a slip ring shaft driven by a small motor. Allows for powerful DC motor controlled by low power DC motor and no expensive electronics for speed control. Remember this is an unproven idea. I have concerns about current control but maybe resistive blocks could replace gear boxes. This motor design is named the IO motor. It works by dragging the rotor. You heard it here first.

I’ve been seeing how dodge is about to hop on the EV train, I figured they’d go this route but only one person seems to have actually put their solenoid motor in a car like 10 years ago and there’s no test drive. We all know this was possible, why hasn’t anyone gone this route? It’s literally everything we love about combustion engines but in electric format.

Is there any advantage to this? I only see more friction than a normal electric motor would have.

Could you try a similar design with opposing pistons and take advantage of those opposite poles for less power consumption, then can we kick each row of pistons on/off ndividually in sequence rather than continous power for increased effeciency?

Well Done. Solenoids are reluctance devices. You can eliminate the crank shaft and reciprocating motion -- and therefore reduce drag and wear -- by using a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). It uses the same magnetic principle but is all rotary. You obviously have the equipment and expertise to construct an SRM and expertise to perfect the power electronics and motor controls. What is more, what you learn can be scaled from a toy car to a full size car.

Great project! Zehr gut!

Lucky it's got the spoiler on the back, with that kind of performance if you've not got the down-force it'll take off... !! Awesome project though, I need to get back into playing with Arduino again!

Well done bro

very cool! thank you

I would love to know how did you made the crankshaft. Can you show it on video or just drawings ? whatever just please teach me :D

Waw ! Neem er snel een pattent op ! Je hebt misschien wel het gat in de markt gevonden... ;-)

Cool project! It seems to me that the firing order of the pistons is causing some stability issues. I don't know anything about solenoids, but a firing order is when the piston is pushed back down to its maximum performance. Usually piston geometry plays a huge role in engine performance! Also I have a strange question... can you hook up a generator to the flywheel? It would actually recharge the battery, but then again you would have to compensate the power output hmm. For fun, you could add a bluetooth interface to the ecu/motherboard, so you could add a remote controller support in code. It's quite simple!

great project bro

Awesome. Definitely a success. I would love to know the power consumption/efficiency of this.

What if you feed each solenoid a sine wave (AC voltage) each out of phase from each other 90*, respectively? If you can make a 3 cylinder design, you could run it with a brushless speed controller if they are each 120* out of phase, and you wire the solenoid wires in a wye or delta configuration. Wye would give you √3 times more torque.

Het is echt wel een mooie auto geworden en hij werkt ook nog is! ;-) 6:45 Dat is wel interessant :) Ga ik zeker eens doen als ik een leuk project heb ;-) Zeker een geslaagd project! Zet er nog een servomotor op en maak eer stuursysteem, sluit het aan op een RC ontvanger ;-)

Very nice ,

Waarom kies je voor een "solenoide-motor". Hij lijkt me nogal "suboptimaal".

Sounds like it needs some lubricant. And regarding aerodynamics, it could probably use some ground effect or something. I wonder if a solenoid-assisted combustion engine would be viable for a full-sized vehicle, and/or how solenoids would actually assist. Perhaps they could aid in providing extreme compression by pulling the piston shut?

It worked, you cannot expect more than that for an experiment

Dit vind ik nou knap hè! Al dat gepiel met die printplaten inregelen, laat staan zelf samenstellen 😳

Interesting video 👍

Heel leuke video weer man ! en een erg leuk project. topperrrr ! Zou je eens willen overwegen om bij zulke projectjes ook een schema van de electronica te maken en misschien een code voorbeeld ? Groet, Peter Lunk

If your pins were transposed/inversed couldn't you solder the arduino in from the other side of the board to fix that?

Amazing awesome 👌

Awesome

Has a nice Chitty Chitty Bang Bang sound to it.

Je kan ook voor het volgende PCB prototype een USB aansluiting er op doen, dan hoef je niet de heletijd de arduino er uit te halen.

I just thinking about something like ecu connected with electric motor.. that can use for start engine and it run at 1k ~ 3k rpm with out paddle

Ik zou zeggen dat met een goed vliegwiel en een koppeling je een stuk verder komt

How bout some kind of sensors to tell the program where the pistons are so that it can correctly control the solenoids.

Cool 😎

Ah! Du ist gut! Danka!

Come on! That's wholesome!

Ja erg cool, kan je misschien als uitbreiding een versnellingsbak toevoegen waarmee je sneller zou kunnen rijden?

Good for bicycle and car

how many volts of battery you used?

The cylinders only have to function as 2 stroke. But you can get power strokes by teversing polarity. So youre going to have constant power from all 4 cylinders. Its just a matter of timing each one. Thats why you need a commutator (distributor) To adjust equal power applied to each cylinder on both directions (attract and repelle). The polarity must change precisely at the bottom and top ends of the stroke. At any given moment in the cycle, there will be 2 pistons attracted and 2 repelling.

More Improvement please , this type of Innovation should go and. Better. 👍🏻🙏🏻

If the internal "pistons" were made from a magnetic material, you would be able to use both push and pull effect by reversing the polarity at the top and bottom points. (I believe...) It would also require more complex electronics and programming.

Mantap. Mesin selonoid nya. Guys

What if you made a cam shaft that that acted on switches?

Wat is het asvermogen t.o.v. het elektrisch vermogen? Ziet er netjes uit en leuk proof of concept.

What's the difference bw copper wire and insulated copper wire ???? And also what kind wire is used in motor coils ???? Is it insulated copper wire or just copper wire

porque não existem estes motores solonoides em aviões ?

He needs a mechanical distributor or at the very least a crankshaft position sensor circuit. Hard coding the cylinder timing means the engine can't adapt to changes in the load.

Nice experiment, sound like muscle car great for 1 run

what happened with your hovercraft?

Wat een ontzettend gaaf ding zeg! Hoe eenvoudig is het om dit eventueel aan te sturen met een ESC of (lekker ouderwets) een schuifweerstand met servo om gas te geven? En dan natuurlijk nog een stuurmechanisme verzinnen.. Ik denk wel dat het 'beter' is om hem met de arduino aan te sturen omdat je dan veel meer controle hebt over wanneer de solenoids hun arbeidsslag uitvoeren maar dat is een hoop gedoe natuurlijk. en misschien een hoger voltage voor de power als ze het aankunnen. En blijf zo eerlijk als je bent in de video's, mensen mogen best eens zien dat projecten niet allemaal rozegeur en maneschijn zijn

zet er sterkere solenoïdes op dan gaat hij ook harder en heeft hij meer koppel. en bouw hem in een radiografisch bestuurbare auto

Loved the concept , but i feel it is better to use a motor to save from frictional losses

I love Dutch, wow it reminds me of, German, Norwegian, Danish, and English together.

What’s the efficiency of a solenoid driven car vs motor?

Program it to for 2 solenoids at time in sequence against the other 2 like left and right and it should give way more torque and be easier to set up your firing delay

why don't you try it with a propeller?? i want so much to build a solenoid rc airplane great job yo

I think it would have been cool if the engine was used on a model train The issue with timing can be solved by using micro switches instead of time delay

Geweldig dit wilde ik al jaren proberen maar kwam er niet van .

You dont really need an Arduino though. Just a distributor like an intrrnal cumbust up. Arduino for a brushless speed control, brushed for a commutator distributor. I dont know if brushless motors work on attract and repel. I think they only attract. Frikken great idea though. 👍

zouden de tekeningen ergens beschikbaar zijn?

If im not mistaken, solenoid engines are incredibly inefficient. Peter sripol just made a video on it

Hey i liked that video it's possible to try to get the car fast with some gear try to change the ratio to make it go faster .It could be fun to make a toy car with it but a completly working

What language do you speak in this video? it's sounds like Dutch. But I'm not sure.

Give it a BIG flywheel, fat connecting rods get a remote control and add steering and then give it some power!!

Een klein AI moduletje erbij dat timings regelt met rpm en rotor positie als feedback.

😎👍

Ik had helemaal geen nederlandse video verwacht! Wtf

I think, this engine is like disel engine. It is slowly but it has more power than engine with rotor.

Newtons law of thermodynamics!

👏👏👏…👍

Make a wireless hand crank controller. That would be cool

Is Blue your favourite colour?

02:01 😱 Wat hebben die lagertjes jou misdaan ?

Add flywheel and more cylinders

How about putting a fly wheel on it

Je had je mal in 2 delen kunnen makken.. dus je contour frezen, en dan t hele gavaarte opde bandzaag. als t ware zachte bekken voot je machine klem :)
