Electric Engine

[TheBrandon2222]

make a tut plz

[pilot0fire]

hahaha i like it

[austinf159]

very cool

[JohnxWaynexGacy]

love it

[RockIsK1ckAss]

what it do i didnt get it

[metalskater155]

@RockIsK1ckAss Its cool thats already 1 thing!

[MrTpengineer]

You remembered exactly how you built it from first grade? Wow you have a great memory man!

[glasstronic]

well done! thanks for posting.

[TheRealDealinlife]

cool! How did you build that?

[acika72]

AWESOOOOME!!! :p LOL :D :p

[rrahemtulla1]

please make a video on how to make this PLEASE!

[chickenpoper]

Can it be called a engine? I believe not. For a engine is classified to be run by chemical reactions as this is run by electric magnetic fields. So basically it should of been told to be a motor. :P

[jehdspth]

decoration

[s33spourqueengines]

very cool mechanism. question. what does the yellow periodic wave and dots represent?

[s33spourqueengines]

very cool mechanism, if you add certain thign this could be run without your use of being the connectors. i've created something on paper but am currently working a prototype

[TheFatbip]

yeah i know right no such thing as an electric engine an engine is something that turns a fuel source into power but that was a motor

[kdc43]

No such thing as an electric engine. Engines oxidize fuel and this motor doesn't.

[cyberlord64]

god damn i LOVE these type of things! not much use for them but dont they look so cool? Great job on the throttle too

EXCELENT!

[u1ralord]

@stormbytes

Try reading the description, he doesn't know how it works. He wants to know how it works too.

[cdlsd]

how do you make this

[jehdspth]

You have already looked at the tutorial.

[Hummers222]

can you please make a tutorial on how to make this!

[PHOTOIK]

you can find motor like this in the video: "Electric motor secrets" by Peter Lindemann

or in the book: "The boy electrician" by Alfred B. Morgan

there are similar motors

[Fogyt121]

u can use it to mix eggs :D

[davidcomprepair]

this is super cool

[florian1897]

bittte



[dagger86]

This makes a lovely sound, and it's beautiful to look at too. :o) Best wishes!

[stormbytes]

Ever think of actually EXPLAINING what you're doing / what's going on?

[houaly143]

very nice....briliant!!!!! << idk how to spell it hehe lol

[justicecrews]

ALL IT IS THAT MAKES IT GO IS THE PUSH OFF OF THE MAGNETS

[jehdspth]

Power comes from a 12 volt power supply hached from an old IBM 5 1/4 inch floppy drive. Wires come up through the base.

[stayingsuckerfree247]

wheres the baterie at im die to try and make one ....very good job....

[vas3a]

wow, that's amazing

[jaimy22]

very nice job, and i totally understand how it works, altough needed to watch it twice ;)

[laphant]

solenoid operated engine...single coil kind was in home shop machinist magazine...village press ...call the m /email ...ask waht issue had selenoid operated motor for project...back issues typically available...that should solve your finding...

[trunk516]

Cool

[MsSplim]

na verdade essas bobinas sao as me4smas usadas em mquinas de tatuar por isto o movimento de sobe e desce e igual bem bolado parabens

[LiamXaoh]

Ah someone with too much time on their hands. Good little project, reminds me of a model steam engine I used to own. This is a lot less messy!

[yomik98]

please post back on how to maike this!!!! Adam

[GeneDunno]

This is the COOLEST thing I've ever seen! My kudos to your Dad!

[tictack0]

why dont they us this idea in real life to make electrisity ? it would be awsome insted of oil and othe things

[garouwolves]

Very good mechanism, is treated much like a single engine explosion that the explosion is magnetic and the cams and levers ... Not if I can explain

[jehdspth]

Yes, you are correct.

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

@garouwolves haha, you and jehdspth just gave me the idea now to replicate this but into the shape of a car engine P:

[garouwolves]

@o00o0o0o0o0o Exelent ... everything is possible!

[92rs25th]

1:30 sounds like the crank or rod berring are going out XD

[Kpilot786457]

hook it up to a knex coaster 9if it has enough tork) and it will be WAY fast!

[survivalkid2452]

now that is wicked i now want to make one just so i can pay around with it

[fifi6popo]

COOL DID YOU USE A MAGNETS???

PLEAS REPLY!

PLEAS PLEAS PLEAS PLEAS PLEAS !

I want to know this is so cool!

[jehdspth]

Yes, the red cylinders with the white top are coils of wire that are electro magmets turned on and off by the cams on the crankshaft.

Glad you liked it.

[CODEINGWITHALEX]

@fifi6popo Kinda it gives the power from the battery to the copper plates as a switch, then from one coil to the other to make the leaver to slide down and make it spin

[Wep0n]

Electric steam engine? Wow.... pretty original :D

[mig189189189]

Awesome video. Keep on with that good work!

[heatherrose2006]

Very Steam Punk, I Love It.

[sparky3489]

just another way to make a motor.

[goldfinger17]

Fuck!Can you imagine with this little shit the world can be turned upside down!!FUCK this is amazing!...we could never depend on oil..but the real true sad thing is the worlds biggest black gold dealers are making everything that this new tech to stay away so that they can continue to make real money! FUCK!

[chernyavsky]

relax, that's a solenoid electric motor, it was invented more than 150 years ago.

[rafael44p]

i want this its sooooo coooooooool

[darkeyce02]

cool, electromagnets?

[norman333]

last year i did a hover chair... lol it accualy worked

[norman333]

hey im bored a ya lol also i uhh gotta do i science project and this would be an good idea

[voon100]

Excellent desktop toy.

[hellkid94]

wht is it called?

[jtdc86]

good job

[junang3]

how much torque? 10 of these should run a small go-kart :)

[THEinspectigator]

num nuts

[manoftnuva]

Don't the speed grows exponentially ? I mean, as faster contacts touch one after another, so faster will move the wheel. That relativity makes me sick :P

[arnoldaszlt]

how did you make it i love it!!! please make a video how  to make that engine i say cool from lithuania

[dominich4962]

i need 2 know how to make that smart engine

[rroge5]

how can i make one of these? i see alot of potential, if you used transistors it would lessen the sparking that happens on the terminals.

[PistolPete2]

Were you using regular 120v. house current or what?

[jehdspth]

It uses a 5 volt power supply from an old IBN 5 1/4" disk drive.

[jodex96]

Wow cool

[Theyoungengineer654]

man!!!!!this is the coolest electric engine that i saw.

[INFAMOUSJFILMS]

do u have instructions or anything so i can make one?

[ataymood]

amazing man... i will try it...

[jehdspth]

For an explaination of the electric engine Google "Magnetic Engine Wizzes On Dry Cells"

[saifd225]

can somone pls explain the concept of this engines and are these two white cils electromagnets?

[girrrrrrr2]

Magic.

[jehdspth]

The engine is setting on an old JBM 5 1/4 disk drive power supply with wires connected undernieth to the red and black terminals.

[jehdspth]

I machined the flywheel. But my dad soldered one up using a typewriter ribbon spool so any wheel about 2" in diameter would do. I wound the electromagnets and the frame was made from 1/8" stock.

[bronie12345]

i have never seen an engine like this...

all i saw was with the switch at another place, inside a piston that has coils around it and there was a magnet... that one activate a reed switch, and let electricity thru the coils, made the magnet go ou, and the reed switch turned off, cuz the coils electrmagnet was just not strong enough for it... so it went out... the magnet came back, reed switch got activated etc...

but i never have seen anything like this...

[worldismine69]

one word wow

its amazing

i wan do wan like this do you got a web site to explain me how to do it if not can you add me on your msn to teach me how to do it my msn is thatworldismine on hotmail

[UP4012]

so its like a doorbell mechanism connected to a little flywheel?

[jehdspth]

Yes, I had not thought of it that way. The door bell would have a much higher frequency.

[jehdspth]

The brushes act like they are spring loaded so the more preasure they put on the comutator the longer they stay in contact with it. The longer they stay in contact the faster the engin goes -- up to the point drag takes over.

[MichMich381]

i don't see how the speed controller works anyone help me out?

[rigopimp627]

im doin a report on james joule and how an electromagnetic engine works can anyone tell me how it works? if you can thank you so much!

[LPMovies]

I wonder what the effect of this motor is compared with a regular electric enginge.. Too bad I haven't got my hands on any magnetic wire so I won't be able to make one.

[AClarke2007]

Also needs a Condensing Capacitor across the commutator switch to keep the contacts lasting longer.

[AClarke2007]

It`s not even plugged in!

[jehdspth]

Originally I intended to hook a 6 volt battery to it. I mounted it on top of a power supply from an old IBM floppy drive. The wires are not intended to be hidden; that's just the way it worked out. Thanks for your intrest.

[AClarke2007]

Unusual Romanesque design of painting for contemporary engines. Was it intended to imitate some kind of Steam Engine as used in Farming?

Using only 5V, I`d guess it could run on Solar Power; you`d need to make some kind of kickstart mechanism for when the sun`s bright enough to keep it going.

Maybe add some foliage too?!

[Gingeralerocks]

what is this type of motor actually called i would love to build one just like it, nice job.

[ativa97231]

that is the coolest thing ive ever seen!!

[shadowriser22]

wow awsome, it has a mini throttle too lol!

[Xavi959]

Isn't it a Tesla engine? XD

Well done man! could you make a "how to make..." video of this one? PLEASE!! :P

[Oldmodels]

Nice model, well done. Have you looked at the Rocking Engine at the Old Model Company.

[bricology]

Nicely done! I suspect that this is based upon Joseph Henry's early experiments in rocking beam electromagnetic motors, circa 1831. Can you explain the purpose the handle on the left and what the camshaft and metal reeds do? Are they the motor's brushes and commutators? Thanks.

[jehdspth]

I did not know about Joseph Henry. The handle allows reversing direction. The current goes through the crankshaft via the cams then through the brass reeds. By going through the reeds on the right the motor runs one way/ By going through the left it runs the opposite direction.

One person's comment led me to a 1950 Popular Mechanics magazine that my dad used to make me one of these. I made this one from memory of that one.

[badussv]

keepit up u r doing a nice job amazing inevnt the technology toto devlop the eazy life of mankind and not only get the benifit upto the top stage of the people but also lower step and poor people. thanks a lot . god help u. any thing plz convey me

[a3823]

200v input in the under box

[jehdspth]

No, that is a power supply from an old IBM 5 1/4" floppy disk drive. The motor is running on 5 volts.

[jehdspth]

I turned the flywheel on my lathe. The crankshaft was made from 1/8" music wire and 1/8"x 3/8" steel stock silver soldered together. I wound the magnets with 24 gage wire around 1/4" bolts. The frame and the upper part of the "T" were bent from 1/8"x1/2" steel stock.

[titanflorin]

try adding some magnets, and the motor should be based on the repulsion of the coil and the magnets, so the repulsion to be grater

[tr41]

To me this looks like a reciprocating electric motor. During the early days of experimentation to find practical electric motors this was one of the approaches tested, but it isn't very energy efficient, so rotary motors became the standard.

[jehdspth]

The cams that are the commutator are 90 degrees to thr crank throw. If I timed it to run better clockwise it would run worse counter-clockwise.
