University of Washington students Jeffrey Weng and Connor Lee have created an awesome Radial Solenoid Engine as an alternative to a combustion engine in their dorm. This innovative project showcases ...

A hands on engineering experiment featuring a water cooled solenoid engine design tested for efficiency and performance.

If you are searching for projects to keep you busy over the next few weeks, you may be interested in this awesome miniature V8 Solenoid Engine, which is capable of generating plenty of power. Created ...

As far as electric propulsion is concerned, the vast majority of applications make use of some kind of rotational motor. Be it induction, universal, brushed or brushless, these are the most efficient ...

The reciprocating engine has been all the rage for at least three centuries. The first widely adopted engine of this type was the steam engine with a piston translating linear motion into rotational ...

In general, a solenoid uses electromagnetic force to move a plunger, thereby converting electric energy into mechanical motion. (“Electromagnetic” means it’s only a magnet when electricity is applied.

You hop in your Dodge diesel and turn the key only to be greeted with a click-click sound, instead of the more familiar whirring of your starter motor. Something is wrong. You somehow knew that the ...
