Seems to me that it would give more resolution and they only require 5v @ 40ma to trigger.

Still it is epic.

I wonder how long it took before someone knocked on his door…

I’m sure you could find used surplus for much cheaper elsewhere.

I have had some problems finding affordable solenoids as powerful as those in the video. Any suggestions?
