More information:
A solenoid engine uses the magnetic pull of solenoids to turn a crankshaft, and resembles the architecture of an internal combustion engine. The crankshaft on this engine is made up of one hundred and forty individual parts bolted together, and is fully counterweighted to balance the rotational mass. The flywheel is an old drill / lathe chuck of some sort (army surplus), the engine has a tachometer pulse generator on the rear of the timing / distributor shaft to run the red LED tachometer, it uses Meccano timing chain and sprockets, and has a key ignition switch for added style. This engine can run both as a four stroke or as a two stroke, and can switch while running. This engine does not develop much torque, certainly much less torque than a standard rotary electric motor can produce, for the equivalent power input - for this reason the solenoid engine is just a novelty and an educational model.
I built this engine for fun, from mainly scrap metal and wood, and using mostly hand tools, and a basic drill press, during autumn 2014. It is based on a single cylinder prototype I had previously made here: • FAST Solenoid Engine W...

This thing is by far one of the simplest, yet most impressive engines I have ever seen

Digging the "throttling" mechanism on this. Really great idea to have the duty and timing integrated on a simple shaft like that!

The use of a copper cylinder with wedge shaped conductive strips. to alter "cam" duration is simply genius. Well done.

The throttle system is really cool!

Thats so cool! I like how fiddling can slightly increase the RPM, that would keep me occupied to no end! Also cool rolling shutter effects.

I had an idea like this almost 15 years ago, but I couldn't sit down long enough to work out the details. good job. Glad to know I wasn't the only one and to see that it could work. now if only I can get off my lazy butt and build one I think it would be fun. congrats.

Love it when the camera shutter syncs with the rod ends, making them seem stationary.

For something that has absolutely no real-world use, it's the coolest damn thing I ever saw! It may not solve the worlds' energy crisis (hell, enough of these could deplete the world's energy!) but it the tech and engineering behind it. Just knowing how to create and build something like this deserves at least bragging rights, a high-5 and a case of beer! Awesome job!!!

now replace the rotating bar copper with optic transistor and led and you will never have to clean it and it will operate very accurate.

How could 14 people not like this very cool V12 electric engine? Awesome construction, excellent video. Bravo!

What amazes me is how much it sounds like a combustion engine. Goes to show you that a lot of the noise is actually the drive-train and not the combustion/exhaust itself. Kudos for your amazing project.

The question isn't why you should build a solenoid engine, the question is; Why not?

Not everything is meant to solve a problem. Some things are just fun to make and play with. This is a really good build, the amount of detail in the piece is simply fantastic. I could watch it run all day long.

Don't seem prohibitively complicated! Thank you for sharing, that's truly an inspiration.

That's amazing. I especially like the way you controlled speed/timing.

Very interesting. As a kid int the fifties,I received,as a Christmas present a single "cylinder solenoid motor that held me fascinated for hours. It used an arrangment quite different than yours. It used a solenoid similar to a standard relay with a connecting rod at the far end of the armature that connected by a small rod to the crank shaft.It used a tiny cam on the end of the crankshaft that operated a contact that fired the solenoid.For power it used 4 "d" cells in series
