The conception, design, fabrication and operation of an electric motor powered by solenoids. Most electric motors use either one electromagnetic coil interacting with a magnet, or two coils interacting with each other. This design uses a solenoid — an electromagnetic coil that propels a shaft one way or another — to drive a central drive shaft.
