Intro is way too long!

Best video of a magneto I ever saw !

Pete is a great guy. He should be smoking a pipe or cigar when driving. Smiles

I wish you had shown how to put the new condenser in. And how you connected it up. I have a AB 33 magneto it's pretty much the same. I just wanted to see how the condenser was conecteted in. Any way it's a great video.

Hi Pete, Would you know the capacitance value of the solid state capacitor used here? I have been working on few old magnetos with bad condensers, and I am looking to replace it with a modern day capacitor.

Thanks for the info and the explanation. Very educational. Sometimes older technology is better than newer technology.

Do you happen to have any information on a magneto containing a "shield"?

My mom did not go for this either, I told her if she wanted that lawn mowed, the mower would have to be running, or pay a nice was for a new coil, it was all up to her.

is this car still for sale you should sell it to jay leno

Thank you Pete. Clearly explained. Actually, the 'magneto' (aka magneto electrical machine) simply refers to the field of a permanent magnet moving across the conductor of a wound coil thus producing an AC waveform. The magneto was invented by the Frenchman Hippolytus Pixii in 1832 - some 70 years earlier. As a low voltage generator, the magneto was quickly superceded by the dynamo. Robert Bosch's pre-WW1 patents (British and US) refer to 'magneto ignition'. He doesn't claim to have invented this as his patents refer to 'improvements in magneto electrical systems' only and relate to coils, contact breakers and secondary coils. Like many discoveries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there's no one single inventor, just a series of steps and breakthroughs on the journey to current tech. The telegraph, telephone, electrical transformer, wireless are all examples where there is only one inventor in popular folklore but many inventors in historical reality.

Great vid Pete. Very informative and I enjoyed it!

no sound

Thank you Sr. For teaching the new millennium ignorant kids how things work....

Excellent

Very helpful, thanks

Wery cool grandfather.Steam cars excellent.

Great explanation video. I 'm looking forward restorating the M01 on my BSA M20. Still waiting for your video regarding the generator.

I love that lamp, make me happy,

great video, sound is shit (mono) can you please fix that

old man voice wow* I sure hope I sound like this one day

Dear Pete Gagan, My name is Sarah and I am a researcher for a TV series called Highway Thru Hell. We are working on a special episode focused on the evolution of heavy rescue and I came across your video. I was wondering if it would be possible to use it for broadcast? Please give me a call at 604-688-3937 ext 146 or email me at schow@greatpacifictv.com. We would love to have your work as part of our TV show. Thank you, Sarah

no grandma

good...

this is incredible and real fun!

What is the wattage for the head lights or candle power

Howdy, thanks for the video as you are an excellent instructor and educator. As a septuagenarian this video really brings back memories of south Missouri and the very old tractors and stationary engines and such. Getting a "spark" was often a big deal to those guys. Thanks again!

"I heated everything up in the oven at 200 Deg .. for about 20 minutes just to drive off any moisture which might be present.. Good idea when baking magneto, generators or crank shaft assemblies or whatever in the oven is to make sure your wife isn't home" magic moments at 10:16

Hi... i know it might be a very radical answer to this, my stupid question but wouldn't be easier to use gas instead of gasoline? Thank you.

One of the BEST steam car explanations given. I also likedmthe quickie acetylene light demonstration. Thanks for the ride.

First time I've seen somebody actually bother to show the lights running! Good video overall, thanks Pete. I'd buy it if I weren't a poor-ass teenager, or living in the freezing northeast (I bet steam engines don't like ice too much).

Guacamo Agostini? Really?

Very good but is the mag on a bike the same as on a plane.

Thanks Mr Gagan - very helpful. Cheers

Hi Pete, I was hoping you would tell us how those acetylene lights worked. Very good presentation of your steam car. Your a natural : )

There ain't no damn sound!! fix and re-post

Calcium carbide brings back fun memories of camping lights and big bang toy cannons. Where can you get carbide nowadays?

Another great video. Did the headlamp mirrors and glass have to be cleaned of carbon often?

Oh. One more thing. I'd love to see more videos!

Absolutely terrific video! As a model engine builder, I've read a lot about old magnetos. But, seeing one apart really helps clear up their construction. Clever repair by the way... it seems one could turn a replacement commutator from modern materials if you had to.

EXELENTE!! MUY BUEN AUTO... FELICIDADES

thank you

Thanks for a nice video. Great to see all the amazing the bikes and their owners

Nice

I found this a most delightful video. With many thanks bevan

Hi again Pete! That was supposed to say a really "fun" time!!,

Hi Pete (from Calgary)! Looks like a really fuk.n time was had by all! Thanks for sharing your great footage! Felt like I was there! Gee ... Looks like you took a few tips from me! Les
