i cant take it anymore gdjgitrhuyjjkytjynuyykykuyjuj7­u

[BrandonShayMusic]

can you even prove that the IDEA of what is "perpetual" exists?

[BrandonShayMusic]

what if you attached a permanent magnet to the rotational device, and then had it pass an electromagnet to generate electricity? (It would pretty much violate all of physics, but i've seen someone just put a handheld permanent magnet and swing it across an electromagnet and it makes electricity) I mean physics are there, but who says it's right? Look at that and tell me perpetual motion is bullshit. I'm a 22 year old music student, and i just want a world of free energy.

[RobbieKalsbeek1981]

@BrandonShayMusic Nice idea, but it wont work. You need more electricity than you can produce. In the longrun the machine will stop. Perpetual is still not possible.

[BrandonShayMusic]

@RobbieKalsbeek1981 can you even prove that the IDEA of what is "perpetual" exists? how do you prove that something ISN'T Perpetual without existing FOREVER?

[RobbieKalsbeek1981]

@BrandonShayMusic To make energy you have to use more energie to make it.



[BrandonShayMusic]

@RobbieKalsbeek1981 so your telling me, using any form of engine or generator will actually increase your electric bill, since it takes more electricity than is being supplied? I mean if that's the case i'm totally off base.

[RobbieKalsbeek1981]

@BrandonShayMusic That is indeed the case. If you want to save you could better use a windmill or solarcollectors.

[BrandonShayMusic]

@RobbieKalsbeek1981 Sure, i've looked into building a DIY Solar panel as well as a DIY Wind turbine (the ladder is much more effective w/o a lot of expensive machinery). What I mean is, hypothetically if you use human power, couldn't you have it translate, and amplify through a generator? So kinda like, for lack of a better term, "super-leverage" I mean i'd be so down with flinstone style cars where you use a pedal but it operates a rotory magnet engine.

[RobbieKalsbeek1981]

@BrandonShayMusic You will always have to put energie in a car. Human or other that is not important. You need enrgie like food, you use your energy for your car so you have no energie left to get food. You have no food so you dont have energie for the car :)

[BrandonShayMusic]

@RobbieKalsbeek1981 My attempt to further this conversation: I think I understand basic quantum field theory (barely, lol). I know you can't have over-unity. If it takes x amount of energy from human motion to produce x+n amount of "output", all that shows is a translation of energy in terms of n (disregarding the parameter). On the surface, It's pretty much like creating energy from nothing, but it's not actually since the energy was merely shifted to a different quantum state. right?

[RobbieKalsbeek1981]

@BrandonShayMusic Right. And with that translation of power you have loss in power.

[Eddie1962150]

This is cool. Actually constructive. You don't see a lot of constructive things on you tube.

[Tro1086]

Pretty cool little thing and looks very nice and clean. The only thing I dont get is why you cut the bottom of your drill handle off when you could just connect the leads straight to the battery? haha

[MACHINEIRON]

The principle is the same as an electric bell but with a piston instead of a striker. It looks very nicely built. Make some more and sell them.

[MTJLT]

Beautiful piece of workmanship. Thanks for sharing.

[jutsmyface]

I am very happy to see the vidoe from you, hopefully the others also are happy for You Solenoid engine

[indiage]

I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge Solenoid engine

[fitnesus]

Steady I Really Like This Video Solenoid engine

[lupabuatchannel]

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always Homemade from bit of scrap

[cenedywong]

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You Homemade from bit of scrap

[melisantika]

I Really Like The Video From Your Solenoid engine

[pemburuiklan]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing Solenoid engine

[charlessmyth]

Nice idea :-)

[theIndian1993]

Is it possible to make 100cc engine work on this principle?

[BudhaLicious707]

ill give 700 for it

[ebay4dave]

very nice scrap , cheers

[greebuh]

This is awesome.

[JBangcastle]

Hello dj

[tridentvii]

how to make this

[mikecameli]

hey add points coil and small dc motor and see what happens ???

[Computer36225]

wheres fuel

[logyscott]

Any idea of the max RPM?

[djones8826]

With 12 volts, around 650 rpm. 18 volts will produce 1040 rpm.

[HomeDistiller]

if you had a magnet in the solenoid rod you could make this double acting

[MrAh102]

do you sell them



[clausilvaful]

valeu a ideia muito boa!

[Khwartz]

@djones8826 Ok, thanks for the explanations, and Very Well Done for your honesty.

Aside to this, it's an admirable manufactured worked :-bd

Mary Christmas :)

[Khwartz]

Hi, could you make the same video again, but with in sight the whole path oft he wires, because it could have alternative command for the solenoid: we see the departure of the battery, and arrival on the system, but not between, otherwise nothing to trust if not seen :/

[djones8826]

I made the engine as a gift, so I don't have it to video.

I can explain how it works. I hid the wires for cosmetic purposes. the wires are in grooves cut in the bottom of the wood base. They run from the screw terminals to the micro-switch ,under the brass cover on the side. the switch is activated by the cam lobe on the crank. From the switch, they run to the solenoid through the brass tube, between the head and the base. It is just a simple schematic of a switch breaking a circuit.

Thank you

[viewfromadistance]

@Khwartz looks like a cam is on the main shaft which hits a switch located in the gold housing below. Not sure if its pushing or pulling on the solenoid, that likely depends on the DC polarity.

[pufon1000]

использовал электромагнит и контактную фигню т.е. при вращение контакты замыкаются и срабатывает электромагнит и получается вращение за счёт центробежной силы

[ReturnxToxSender]

( I read the description and... ) Man, thats bits and CRAP!

[jdmetaladam]

not enough power.just spinning.

[5sweatingpalm]

Hi do u receive any electrical input as the outlet after the solenoid in the circuit. or there's no power to it. Since i see the rod and crank moves as in using an external force but it keeps going.

[jh78ghbn56]

Your are very talented to make all this yourself from old scrap, that enghine looks liek its been professionaly machined. well done.

[Tl82T]

wat is that?

[superbungabunga]

thats pretty cool now do this with permanent magnets

[theIndian1993]

wonderful

[stovebolt50]

Overall a nice bit of fun machinery. There is a good matched feel to the component pieces. Great fun. Thanks for posting.

[bramdriesen]

i dont get it -- how does it move? its not like a combustion engine so...? please answer :)

[Spid88PL]

RPM?

[updownleft8]

I like when stuff go fast it looks like its in slo mo

[flyingtractors1]

Beautiful engine. Nice job - very clean and precise.

[chsxtian]

how did you make that flywheel?

[djones8826]

I'm sorry. I made each piece myself, no plans, no kit.

[TheSupertecnology]

where did u got the pices to do that super machine? please respond, i need it for a science project of school! have mercy ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

[g0fvt]

Beautiful

[boonthip100]

world smallest engine ..

yes , I like your video.

[omfgursodumb]

nice work

[Djakkennaia]

I wonder if this could be used to power smaller applications if you had several solenoid "pistons" in a row.

[dothewave13]

@Djakkennaia ........just use the battery.

[djones8826]

Yu are quite right. It is nothing more than a novelty, an idea, a gift to my Dad. It was also a lot of fun to machine.

[quantomic1106]

really cool.. but seems inefficient for for practical use.

[MultiJebusChrist]

That some mighty fine scrap metal you've got there in you neighborhood!

[jah2mail]

Somewhere out in cyberspace a robot just got a boner watchin this video.

[joak89]

@jah2mail sadly i am that robot...

[killthetaco]

@djones8826 you made this from small pieces of metal? how? how do you melt them and give them their shape? do you use molds? how do you make them? can you do this at home? or do you need some huge machines at some factory to fabricate the pieces?

if it's too much to answer here, i would also appreciate a link to point me to the info.

thnk u, in advance. i always wanted to know if machines could be constructed like this (by making the parts out of small pieces of metal) by an individual and how.

[bramdriesen]

@killthetaco i geuss you need a milling machine and a lathe

[sciman001]

that is wonderful! i luv this.

[foxmotors1]

used a milwakee battery

[supersport396]

Love the stroboscopic effect from the cam....

[Urtaget]

This is obviously amazing!

[AntonBowie]

How did you fabricate the ross yokes?

[djones8826]

@AntonBowie There is no ross yoke. Just simple ricprocating crank and rod.

[AntonBowie]

@djones8826 Are you joking? Look at your crank carefully.

[HOPPERFZR]

i wonder for what aplication this would be best suited for compared to a regular electric motor

[geektoro]

Now what?

[thewii552]

where did you get the solenoid?

[01iamaprofessional]

do you think it has allot of torque?

[pivotboy63]

how much power does it make? would you be able to run anything with it?

[letshavewhat1111]

I want one of this.. How can I make one?

[CoolHatMan100]

Is that a homemade soleniod, or not?

[virgildog1950]

use it to power a bike!

[iHeartElectricalEng]

this is made from a sterling engine

[djones8826]

No. It was machined from no plans or previous parts, all from small pieces of stainless steel, aluminum, and brass stock.

[shackwrrr]

You could add a centrifugal governor to the microswitch circuit and make it a hit or miss solenoid engine. Pointless but it would sound cool.

[hootergirlsrhot]

sounds like a lawn mower

[legox50]

Is this sort of like a stirling engine? O wait, this is like a linear motor attacked to a fly wheel? Sort of?

[djones8826]

@legox50 ,Exactly, just a pull type electric solenoid connected to a crank and flywheel.

[flogistron]

Yes. A beta-type stitling engine, with electric heath.

[gunny556fly]

lol dont start it with the big fly wheel you might break your hand!!!

[tennisplayer103]

FAKE!

[BenBasque]

@tennisplayer103 And can you explain to me how this is fake?

[tennisplayer103]

@BenBasque it breaks bernouli's principle! fake and gay

[Bamchucknorris]

@tennisplayer103 lol retard thats the framerate of the camera creating an OPTICAL ILLUSION. get a life and move on you 12 year old

[tennisplayer103]

@Bamchucknorris your mums a frame rate!

[Bamchucknorris]

@tennisplayer103 terrible. you truly are a deprived child

[MrLeonard55]

Can you make me one?

[salvatorearcilesi]

einfach....genial.............­

[jeetendrag10]

where is the commutation mechanism?

[malagarcha]

recovery back emf in the coil,and charge capacitor using this, to impulse again the

magnet.

exenlent job.

[chakathewolf]

Fake? How is this fake? How Goddamned stupid ARE you?

Get off daddy's computer and go do your homework. You might need marketable skills someday.

[KKinsane2009]

@tntmaking

its powered, there is nothing fake about it. this isn't a ufo video, nor is he c....you know what? just suck a dick. people like you will always be retarded.

[MorskoyZmey]

So you have a permanent scrap and a solenoid inside, dont you?

[DjinnJuggler]

and you say you made this from "a bit of scrap"!? can I have some of your "scrap"? :P

[ChristianMuslum]

thinner wire, higher voltage, one shot per minute

(throw in a spring)

[DocHollomon1962]

Can you get more volts out than your putting in that's the big ???

[bent540]

@DocHollomon1962 gotta go learn about elec mate! u could make it produce more volts if u wanted np! but u will lose power(amps/energy) in the process

[bleachworthy]

currently not possible

[BBCukBen]

that gets my volt

[slacker361]

isnt that a sterling engine?

[halohadel]

science fail

[ciolamorta]

I was joking. By the way, pollution problem is not impossible to solve.

[30GB]

convert it to gas or flame licker

[VisionQuest2012]

Looks like you got some machining skills there. Nice looking work.

[dokontra]

Just like 19 th century with nice wood and brasswork .

Genius

[ihelk]

what kind of fuel does it run off of?

[Raycaster7]

It is completely electric.

[ihelk]

wouldnt it be cheaper and easier to use a regular electric motor?

[mcskifter]

don't forget more efficient too.

[tk10]

yes, but it would be less fun

[TheCoinchanger]

I plan to build a solenoid engine. Should I buy a pull continous or pull intermittent or push continious or push intermittent solenoid? Your engine looks great. See my hoglett engine on youtube -TheCoinchanger Thanks.

[HelpSaveTheEarth2051]

Are the ridges at the back of the solenoid for cooling?

[djones8826]

The thought was that there may be a small amount of heatbuild up in the solenoid and it also adds to the cosmetic appearance.

[SINEKT]

The strobo effect from the camera's FPS is absolutely awsome !!! You can actually see in slow motion how everything moves there.

[Ostrid1]

yeah while its actually going really fast it looks really slow

[sho4008]

I'd buy it as a piece of art

[jasonrj8992]

I'd be interested to see what an align boring operation of this scale looks like. I'm more familiar with heavy machinery where diameters don't get any smaller than 4".

[HaydenPK]

wow! this is worth 5 stars. I like the way the camera captures it

[Cchange4us]

when you say scrap you mean highly priced new bits of lathing material right

[djones8826]

I end up with small pieces from cutting material in the band saw for larger projects. These pieces usually get thrown away. I'm a pack rat, when I get enough time, I look at what I have accumulated and think up something to make. Changing jobs have slowed the "toy" department down a little. You will soon see more.

[Cchange4us]

alright i guess you have access to a lathe and some other tools

good job i like the metal on wood look

[kikoff88]

On an oiled and highly polished wooden board with finely cut edges of course ;p

[shadowhunter45s]

that makes some high rpms! would u be willing to sell it and if so how much!?

[djones8826]

I built it as merely a toy, a conversation piece as a gift for my Dad. It was fun building and little projects like this keep your machining skills honed. To me, and a few others I have met on Youtube, this relaxes me, gives me joy and keeps my mind going.

I enjoy anything handmade and are original in design.

Besides, it allowed me to use up small pieces of scrap, laying around, that I can't stand to throw away.

[gunterkat]

This motor merely substitutes an intermittent pull from an electrical solenoid for the intermittent push from burning fuel in a cylinder. I would be very surprised if it is able to equal the efficiency of a conventional electric motor.

A+ for effort, though. ;-)

[bogdanp9]

sure. all that is made from scrap :))

[4x4ing]

Awesome

[stirlingsteamboy08]

nice

[mascobe]

Nicely executed! On the topic of bearing/bushing choices; My motors use ball bearings, bushings, one with brass inserts and a couple that use the motors base material (generally aluminum). I find that bushings work very well with little maintenance as does the ones using the base metal. I prefer a properly broken in and lubed bushing setup over ball bearings. Just my opinion.

[teeter1939]

That's a really cool engine you've built! Could one be built using an old starter solenoid from a car and some extra bits from small 2-stroke engines such as a chainsaw or weedeater?

Do you have a schematic that you used to wire it together or a set of plans that you worked off of? If you did, would it be possible to have/purchase a copy so that I could build one similar myself?

[djones8826]

A starter solenoid would require a good bit of amperage, but would work and be very powerful. All you would need then is a cam lobe on the crankshaft to actuate a micro switch. Just time out the "on" position of the switch for the last 90 degrees of rotation before the piston is entirely in the solenoid. Let me know if you would like more specific details. Thank you.

[teeter1939]

Does the solenoid pull the piston in or does it push it out? To change between the two all I would have to do is reverse the polarity of the solenoid. And if it is pulled in, would it work having the solenoid on from BDC to TDC and the inertia of the crank weights would pull the piston back out and start the cycle over again?

I'm a mechanical engineering student with plenty of free time and parts available. Thanks.

[djones8826]

A car starter solenoid pulls in. On a DC solenoid like that,reversing the polarity won't change it from pull to push. Setting it from BDC to TDC would give you a much longer power stroke, bit would make it a little unstable at start up, depending on the dynamic weight of your flywheel. I like to center the cam lobe to the switch near the center between BDC and TDC. Then you can adjust the "dwell" time and that lets you adjust the length of your power stroke.

[BBCukBen]

"I'm a mechanical engineering student with plenty of free time" - No teeter, you must be mistaken. Surely they're mutually exclusive ? lol.

[teeter1939]

I had a light semester this time, next semester will be different.

[BadAndUgly]

Did you use ball bearings for the crank?

[djones8826]

No, I used 50 cent bronze bushings from Ace Hardware and I carefully align-bored them in the case.

[30GB]

i bet i would run higher rpms with ball bearing you should upgrade it that would be cool

[cffellows]

The big end of the connecting rod looks like all one piece. Is the crank built up from pieces? What holds it together?

Chuck

[djones8826]

I built it out of two throws with 1/4" dowel pins pressed into reamed undersized holes. Much like 2 stroke motorcycle engines. Really wasn't too bad at getting aligned.

[djones8826]

Solenoid and microswitch are from McMaster-Carr. Everything else is hand made.

[cffellows]

That's a good looking engine, very nice work! Did you wind the soleoid or use something off the shelf?
