Here are a couple of ways to determine if an MDS solenoid in your 5.7-liter HEMI engine has gone bad and how difficult it is ...

If you really think about it, starting our cars as easily as we do every day is something of a modern miracle. We jump into our vehicles, turn a key (or even just push a button on many occasions), and ...

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.

In power generation, solenoid valves perform critical functions such as controlling the flow of water, steam, fuel, and other fluids or gasses. Here are a few applications where solenoid valves prove ...

Solenoids are everywhere. They open the water valve in your dishwasher, control the flow of gas in your stove, regulate ink delivery in printers, and play a crucial role under the hood of your car.

Solenoids are used in many applications to provide linear or rotational actuation in mechanical systems. Although driving solenoids can be as simple as switching the current flow on and off, ...

A proportional solenoid valve is an electromagnetic valve designed to respond to a variable power input to regulate the flow of liquid and/or gas proportionately. It is used to control the flow rate ...

Learn how a water-cooled solenoid engine works and see its design and operation in action. This video breaks down the ...

I recently wanted to try an automatic faucet idea again. I decided to employ a latching solenoid valve to control the water flow on that enhanced version. Luckily, after some searching, I was able to ...
