Amazing Hit & Miss Electric Engine from Coilmotorworks!

- Check out this hand built model from Coilmotorworks here on UA-cam. What an amazing solenoid engine (with a twist) that is just one of the many models that he has built over his past 25+ years of experience. Let's polish it up a bit and subject it to some atrocious woodworking

I built a couple of these when I was a kid with 8 track tape player parts. They weren’t hit and miss but had a slide lever throttle control. This brings back memories from the 70s and my early hobby days.
That is cool! I like the governor for sure
impressive
Thanks for posting the video, Matt. Awesome polish job! I wished I had more time and patience to do more finishing. Can't wait to see the new motor build. Keep up the excellent work!
This is an amazing little engine, thank you for sharing it with me.
And Mr 212, your woodwork has improved. It's now 1000% better than anything I can get wood to do :)
One tip for the HM-01, do not attempt to run it in continuous mode at any speed for any length of time as it would exert great pressure on the pin at the crankshaft/slide-slot pin at the end of the detent lever. Better to hold the governor balls in with something
I've started the assembly on it (without any instructions) and I really don't see any advantage to the constant run lever, it seems to me that it's only purpose is to override the governor (bad idea). I may lock it into position and disable that feature entirely. Thanks for the heads up Mr. Thomas and keep up the great work 👍
While watching your Taolei Electromagnetic Piston Engine video I thought I should gio back to this video and leave a note on lubrication of the motor in this video. One part that should not have any lubrication is the slip collar. The slip collar converts the motion from the spinning governor to the stationary lockout lever. The collar needs to slide freely with no lube. The hole in the collar is a loose fit and the shaft is smooth so lube is not needed. Lube can be usef in the grooves but must be a light oil. Air tool oil or WD 40 or a 50/50 mix of both oils works well. Keep up the awesome channel! CMW
Without a doubt the hit and miss engines that you build are MUCH more refined than the Taolei is. I can see exactly what you mean about thick lubricant on a close tolerance part such as the slide collar, too thick of an oil will prevent it from being able to slide evenly to lock and unlock. Thank you for the great tip 👍
I've had my HM-01 assembled and running for about 3 weeks and it has been a great model. I know you'll have a good time assembling yours.
Hi Henry, I have disciplined myself to not watch any videos on the HM-01 yet simply because I want to form an honest opinion (if that makes sense) I can't wait to get it done though so I can see everyone else's work. Keep up the great work, I'll be watching your video on it as soon as I get this one done 👍
Very nice engine
Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Excellent subject. great to see you back :) What a cool concept. Nice...and a great addition to your collection. Really a bit special to have a hand made piece of art. I'm 1/3 way into the video, seen you coast it by hand, the anticipation of how it will run is so strong in me now!!!
Hi Thomas, love watching your videos. Great to have fun people in this hobby. I'd love to visit New Zealand some time. Keep making great content! CMW
and you would be most welcome here. We have room. I'll expect you to be touring the country on some electric pistoned vehicle :)@@coilmotorworks ...I am loving Tractors 39 and 40 on your channel. I'm now decided to show the initial steam stuff I made as a kid, from scrap. Thanks!
@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES Awesome! Can't wait to see it.
You are a brilliant man! You know way too much stuff and I love it lol such a smart guy matt
You're giving me too much credit, I screw up my share of things too, but some of that gets taken care of during editing 👍
Great video, I can not wait to see what you do with the HM-01 kit!
Would love to hear your thoughts on its quality and what could be done to make it run better/slower/coast longer and any other tuning mods you come up with. I am considering getting one.
I have started the assembly on it last night and will post it sometime this week. So far I am impressed with just a few little hiccups to address
An additional area of concern on the HM-01:
The cute little glass oiler on it does not have a "lower" glass to view drip rate during operation, from what i have seen so far the brass caps may not be removable from the glass tank? Perhaps it may not be nessesary to remove them to adjust/mod the drip valve? Most guys complain of the oiler going empty at a very fast rate, not a terrible problem during break in, but would be nice if it could be slowed down to a more practical rate?
Ummm...it was fast to begin with but you can screw it in. Mine drips really slow, like a ml an hour now or less, fine for this, perfect really
What a nice piece of kit, thank you for sharing. It reminds me of an old Meccano (UK) / Erector (US) set model from way back in the day. Do you know if the solenoid pushes out as well as pulling back?
This is just a pull in solenoid, but it would be impressive to see how it would run with a double acting coil. Maybe coilmotorworks will come up with one?
neat unit. it doesn't sound like a singer sewing machine is about to rattle itself to death like most of the solenoid units i have seen so far. nice to see you back good sir. btw...is that tractor unit still living?

I have not seen that white Beer can since I lived in Texas in the late 70s and early 80s, generic beer sold at HEB.
That old beer can has sparked so many memories from folks that remember them. It's a shame that Falstaff is gone now. I remember seeing the brewery in Fort Wayne when I was a pup.
