inline twin magnetic piston engine, magnet engine

No matter what people say... that is cool as hell... even if it never runs a vehicle.

[Obito313]

I do not understand why we do not use these in cars :/ i mean it uses DC to start the motor but AC to start the pistons it would be more efficient than Gasoline :/ what do you think about it?

[jmartr34]

@Obito313 I am all for electric motors, but the problem at the moment is battery technology. Also, there aren't any charging stations except your house and since you can force too much electricity into a battery at once with out overheating it is kind of rough right now lol. Once as battery technology increases greatly which is happening now, we will see many more electric vehicles on the road. Atleast that's what I think. Electric motors for the win!

@jmartr34 Can't*

@DrJez1 - Yeah, I get what your saying. Thanks.

[dauer962roadcar]

There is a question about magnets that no one can seem to give me an answer to: Why can magnets lift huge weight vertically, but not push it horizontally? I would appreciate an answer if anyone could enlighten me.

[DrJez1]

@dauer962roadcar it's something to do with the alignment of the atoms inside the magnet. they are aligned in the direction that gives high forces in one direction, but then in the other direction (horizontally as you say) the atom alignments are perpendicular to the desired force, so no force (or minimal force due to not perfect atom alignment) is achieved.

something like that

esta chingon tu motor , luego esplicas chido como funciona lo del sensor

[zbshogun]

Yes!!! this is exactly what I want to build. Well not exactly but that is real nice. I think magnetic piston engines have a lot of potential... Very impressive motor!

[eloid777]

you dont explain your circuit works ie how you switch the optical sensor via the relays

[1crazyfocker]

its a great build and all and nice video but dont forget to do some research, the solenoid motor (magnet piston engine) was one of the first electric motors made over 100yrs ago. they went the way of the Dodo because they just dont come close to the power, speed or power useages as a "normal" electric motor. but still good build

[musicbill123]

Remember the two man hand cars on rails? What about a perpetual motion machine for pistons? Any thoughts? I thought something that rewinds itself just

an up down movement -

[XMtnDude]

I've been having this idea for a while to. we could have a car that runs on nothing but the battery itself. Using a magnect piston with a modified cylinder head that uses a north side to push down on the piston. The north magnect is energized by the battery through the alternator.

[Sassybiker1]

Awesome Matt!

[jesslessthemess]

awesome dude!



[agisus]

why not with a gradual derivation electric by alternator ? and if electromagnetic you can to grow the power why not with the enter air turbine

[Matthewsamagnet]

It's a model and there's lots that can be done to make this a usable type of engine. Maybe your the guy to take this to the next level.

[dacosta70]

Very nice idea, I wanted to ask, where did you get the pistons and rods? did you make them? can you please let me know? also why don't you try to re distribute the energy, maybe the energy generated by the engine can be re distributed in to the coil. so the engine can run with its own power.

[DrJez1]

@dacosta70 that would be perpetual motion. a machine cannot run off itself!

[reelphresh]

@DrJez1 I kinda had and idea like this but use very large magnets and allow gravity to pull them threw tubs to create power to drive an electromagnet to fire the piston back up. The longer the drop the more power that woud be able to be stored to fire it. the rods would be attached to the top of the pistons to connect with the crank shaft that would sit atop of the engine block.

[DrJez1]

@reelphresh Sounds great go get it patented

[Mastahscott]

cool toy and nice thinking , problem is that 70 watts is a damn lot of power , they make motors that will do way way way more work than that for 70 watts man.

[hogslayer4ya]

thats pretty cool
