Old Model Company OMC-3 'Froment' Eddy current engine

Another fantastic eddy current model from the Old Model Company. This one has a twin coil and the oscillating current (powered from three AA batteries in a battery box in the base) supplies power to the two coils, which then flip-flops the power at the contacts, hence creating an electro-magnetic field to spin the main fly wheel. You won't find this model featured on their website though as i believe I grabbed the last one, but it is well worth checking them out as they have other lovely models.

I have no connection with the company but do have the complete set of all the models they have available as I am fascinated by them. This clip was made for the Unofficial Mamod & Other Steam Forum. It is well worth joining, as it is free and the membership are very helpful and engaging too.
You'll find me on there as 'MADforSTEAM'.
