As an alternative to the internal combustion engines; solenoid engines which has the prinsiple with solenoid valves, can be used as well. It is easy to produce, but difficult to control.
Here on this movie, a very basic solenoid engine is shown how to made with basic homemade stuff.
Actually, it is being used as an exhaust valves.

What if it is possible to the same linear trajecotry by an electromechanical actuator in state of a spring-classic exhaust valve? Yes, it is possible to make the forward-back linear movements by an electromechanical actuator. (see the image below):
