Farmall Doctor Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I made an Electric Engine once just for fun. A 12V solenoid was the cylinder/piston, attached to a crankshaft, a paint can lid for a flywheel. A cam on the crankshaft was timed to hit a microswitch with a spring arm on it to pull the solenoid plunger in each time it was just past TDC.
