SOLENOID MAGNET ENGINE electric MOTOR

[TheMuskokaman]

Mr Pete you are a brilliant man and I for 1 love your videos about the solenoid engine Do you think it is possible to use a 12vDC electro magnet in the head of a typical gas engine with a large neodyme magnet embedded in the top of a piston to create a similar result using the engines own magneto to fire the solenoid?

Perhaps overunity could be achieved with a motor like this used in conjunction with a generator?

I have an original 1908 Toy Electric Engine.

That is what the 1908 Sears, Roebuck Catalogue calls it on page 208.

I have one of the reproduction catalogs.

Check Amazon for one.

So did you cast the base yourself or buy it or ? BTW, none of your vids are a waste of time, keep em coming :) Thank you !

[mrpete222]

@fgleich I cast it in my foundry.

[mrmatt2525able]

this is just the thing i spend my days of being a teenager and making little tinker toys that i love to desplay in my beedroom and i just love to make little things like this and mini engine, steam or other wise, mr. pete you are not wasting you time, you have teached me and lots of other people of mecanical stuff just like a solenid engine, im going to go make one right now. down to my shop.

[markdem]

but whats the advantage of this motor over a conventional electric motor?

[mrmatt2525able]

@markdem just for the fun of it, and display, witch is sweet

Mr. Pete,

Your videos are definitely not a waste of time. I for one never tire of watching them. You are a true craftsman and from my observations that is something that is dieing out in this country. If not for your fine videos many of us would have no other way to learn.

[mrpete222]

Thank you very much.

[buddybudster89]

is this a free energy motor?

[mrpete222]

I'm not sure what that is.

[nstahlable]

@buddybudster89 there is no such thing as a free energy motor.

I'm planning on buying my first metal lathe and mill, and I have found your videos to be very clear and instructive for someone who knows almost nothing on the subject. Most machining videos focus on CNC rather than manual operations, but I won't be at that level for some time! BTW: after watching your videos on chucks, I went down and adjusted my wood lathe 3-jaw so now it runs within 0.0005". It was always out 5-10 thou and I figured it was good enough for wood. Now cuts are smooth as butter.

[TheBattleWagon]

As your playing with new engines , will you sir? "waist some time" :<D on trying to build a double acting piston stirling?

Please? I have no ability to build one right now,and would very much like to see if the principals work.

[mrpete222]

No more stirlings for awhile. Even the simple one are tough. The complicated & experimental one almost impossible.

[TheCoinchanger]

I enjoy your videos very much. One thought, on my solenoid engine I attached the switch so it could pivot. This increases or decreases the amount of time the current is applied ie, time on the cam and makes it run faster or slower. A sort of throttle. see youtube Thecoinchanger

[mrpete222]

Thanks--might try that on the next engine.

[junkman6261]

It's not a waste, how do you make the flywheels or where do you purchase them? I would like to see one made to operate like a hit and miss engine, one with working governor weights and the solenoid truly "fire" if you will, when the engine has slown down. I think that project would make a great canidate for a couple of videos of step by step construction. Keep up the great work Mr. Pete!!!!

[mascobe]

Cool! I am north (WI) of you yet and we have been having high 30s and rain! Cool motor! I always wanted to do a 110VAC motor but the memory of getting shocked off the line voltage while working on other projects is a deterrent.

illionois has better weather/gov than the whole of the UK

[camochannel1]

i love it. no your not waisting your time with these videos. my wife and really enjoy any kind of creativity. thanks for posting this video. from bob and vangie.

[mrpete222]

Thanks for the encouragement.

[johno2355]

absolutly love it , was thinking of making one of them my self two years ago.

[CenterLane1977]

even if this is useless it is a cool lil engine/ motor. i could see the 12v running a lil boat around a pond... the cord killed that idea for the 120v

[vlmarshall]

Great stuff!

[alehax27]

you know what would be great. If you could make a series of tutorials on how to build them. I've never made one but the more I look at them, the more tempted I become in building one.

[mrpete222]

I might consider that. The problem is that it would take a month. Also, have to stop constantly, wash hands--take pictures, etc.

[baconsoda]

You're not wasting my time either. I love finding a new video on my list when I sign in because you have a comfortable, relaxed style of presentation that is informative and enjoyable. It's as if you are sitting beside me explaining things. I'm not an engineer but I love mechanical principles so, seeing theory described practically is wonderful.

Please keep 'em coming.

Best Wishes,

Brendan

[mrpete222]

Thanks--its more relaxing than giving 41 years of demonstrations to teens. I don't have to keep looking behind myself and keeping the length down to coincide with their attention spans.

[baconsoda]

LOL, we have a similar background. I was a mathematics lecturer in a Further Ed College and part of my timetable was teaching vocational maths to trainee welders, joiners and brick layers. I loved it because it was real 'hands-on' maths that was totally relevant to the students.

Mind you, retirement isn't so bad either!

[capriracer351]

Your certainly not wasting my time. The first thing that I do now, since I discovered your channel, is to check and see what interesting items you have posted after I get home from work.

Even if it is a subject that I know quite a bit about, there is always at least one "nugget" that I learn.

The weather is pretty much the same here in Pa as well. Cold,cold,cold even in the summer half the time.

Our Government is pretty crooked here as well, though not as much as in Illinois.

[dollzballz]

This is great. How do you calculate and design the counterweight? I`m not an engineer, but I would like to know.

[mrpete222]

Just guessed--I'm not an engineer either. AS you will notice, the thing is far from being balanced.

[therockkkkher]

what was the name of that product you can make stuff out of, deloran? i appreciate all your videos and many people will be able to see them for years to come if there still up. take care

[mrpete222]

DELRIN --available in the J&L or MSC catalogs.

Polyoxymethylene (commonly referred to as POM and also known as polyacetal or polyformaldehyde) is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts that require high stiffness, low friction and excellent dimensional stability. It is commonly known under DuPont's trade name Delrin.

[therockkkkher]

thank you sir!!
