How to Make Solenoid Engine (Pictures and Video)

Image
let's make a solenoid engine. You may have seen many videos of making solenoid engine online. There are hundreds of such videos on youtube. But this project is entirely different. We designed it in a way how automobile engines work. You can see many components similar to those in an internal combustion engine. You can see, pistons, connecting rod, crank, crankshaft, cylinder, cylinder head, flywheel etc. An IC engine works by the explosion of fuel inside the cylinder, whereas in solenoid engine the driving force is Electromagnetism. [caption id="attachment_1033" align="aligncenter" width="502"] Make solenoid Engine[/caption] A solenoid is a type of electromagnet when the purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field. If the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an  inductor rather than an electromagnet .  In engineering, the term may also refer to a variet

How to Make Vertical Axis Wind Turbine VAWT (With Pictures and Video)

Wind turbines are used to harness wind power. There are different types of wind turbines. They are mainly classified as horizontal axis wind turbines and vertical axis wind turbines. Construction and working principles of a wind turbine can be easily understood from a working model. That's why I am always engaged in making working models of such devices, especially renewable energy harnessing devices. We have already discussed how to make small wind turbine (Horizontal axis). Today we are going to discuss How to Make Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). How to Make Vertical Axis Wind Turbine(VAWT) Video Let's Make Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) today. Things needed to Make Vertical Axis Wind Turbine 4'' PVC Pipe 30 cm in length ACP Sheet 30cm in length Dynamo 3-5 Volt PVC or CPVC Fittings 3T's and 4 Elbows Pieces of PVC or CPVC Pipe L-Clamp Steel 4 Plate washer 2'' IN Dia- 2 GI Nut that suits Dynamo Pulley Connecting Wires 3/4'' Cycle Screws 30 Powe
