Electric current pulls the steel armature toward two magnet cores. A return spring lifts it again. The two impacts produce a readable Morse rhythm.

* Educational lumped-parameter model. Lever torque, return spring and damping are integrated in real time. Magnetic force is approximated as proportional to current² / air-gap²; not an instrument-calibrated measurement.

Geometry is a historically informed composite, not a scan of a specific museum object. Wood, brass, copper windings, iron, bearings and contacts are individually modelled.
