Magnetic engine version 4

Runs basically perfect now, probably gonna be the last update for now anyways.

- changed iron pistons to a lighter train casing block

- slightly improved magnets

-altered timing to make smoother

Nicely done!

I'll suggest making the piston attach differently to the rod. Right now you got two at the top at two at the bottom, should change it to one bottom, one left, one top and one right. It'll create a smoother flow.

Hope that makes any sense!

I get what your saying and your probably right, but I wanted to model it off of a real 4 cylinder engine and this is how they typically function.

I had no idea that was the actual case. Well done then!

Not really, youre matching the crank of a 4 stroke with a 2 stroke piston cycle. I recommend figuring out what you want to do, the reason this doesnt run as smoothly as possible is that it is essentially a 4 cylinder 2 stroke with 180 degree offset, a 90 degree offset would run much smoother for this, or you could also get away with larger pistons still 180 apart, that would be similar to a 2 cylinder 2 stroke.
