AE86 / AW11 Speed Chime

This is how the speed chime sound is created for the Toyota AE86 and AW11. A simple solenoid with a plunger/hammer. Applying power to the terminals causes a magnetic field to be created within the coil, which forces the plunger to move down and strike the lower plate. Removing power causes the magnetic field to collapse and a spring makes plunger bounce back up and strike the upper plate before finally coming to rest in the middle position again. The basic principle for this action is described by Faraday’s Law. #InitialD
