I LOVE IT!! Your having your furry shop assistance, your sense of humor, your not taking yourself too seriously, and your attitude of this is what you get, take or leave it. You made me think so much of my late father when you did the " precision fit" of the top. He had a phrase "don't force it, use a bigger hammer" 😜 Thanks so much for and enjoyable build video.
When you jumped up on the piece of metal the electromagnet was holding onto I looked at your dog, and it was quite clear what he was thinking... "My human has gone nuts!" 😊 Good video! Thanks
Thanks for the video here. Taking notes here. I am a deaf guy so reading the transcrip helps. Did you went for parallel connection for the best result? Also thanks again for the video that helped convinced me to go for the lidded method than wasting money on expoxy. It make sense to make it servicable in Future Cheers.
Great video! I’ve been tinkering with making a magnet for picking up things around the place with my tractor… namely nail out of the yard. One question, can you check to see what the DC current draw is for me? Im now on the hunt for some old microwaves!
@therandomfarmer4231 Thanks brother. I watched a few different ones and most are filled with epoxy. I like and think yours is the best design I have seen so far. Thanks for the tips
Liked and subscribed. Excellent video best I’ve seen and the last I’m looking at. The beauty of this one is no epoxy required which costs a lot. One question… when you put the top on, do I have to ensure the cut transformers below touch the lid, or should there be clearance?
The only criticism I can find is that at 12:44 it looks like you just layed down a weld and your dog is in the background. Your dog doesn’t know not to look at the arc. You should really put them out when you’re welding. I built a similar project and this was one of the videos I took inspiration from. Good job.
@@therandomfarmer4231 It won't exactly work as a regular transfer. It won't induce current into the other coil if you're running DC through it, you'll have a static magnetic field. Induction is a function of AC, which is part of the reason why it is used in our power grids. Voltage can be stepped up or town using transformers with different ratios of primary & secondary windings (and less transmission loss at higher voltage than lower over long distances). The problem would be that some of the magnetic flux would be concentrated in the secondary windings and not pass through to your work surface. www.electronics-tutorials.ws/electromagnetism/electromagnetic-induction.html Great video btw, I may have to make one of these myself. Keep it up!
Very good job
Fantastic
Thank you for vídeo.
"I'll just put it in a baggie. What? If you're watching this you're probably cheap too." 🤣🤣🤣 Right on brother 👊 Nicely done
Great video. I saw one where the guy used one transformer and pulled over 600 pounds till his gauge maxed out.
Now this my kind of video, humor, harbor freight tools and “it’s what I got”. Cheers

Thanks!!! First one to show a true weight factor.

The best and easiest concept I have seen in a magnetic vice. Thanks for the "non-instructional," instructional video. LOL. 😊

Fantastic instructions,.....not that this is an instructional video. :) Never new how easy is is to make a magnet Thanks.
Great video. Did you mount your top plate down tight against the metal where the coils are ? Thanks in advance.
Yes. It has to be right against the top plate or you lose alot of the magnetism due to air gap.

They need to be right up against the lid or there is a very big loss in effectiveness.

Excellent video. Any idea how much weight it could lift?
How come every other videos shows that they cut them off to the coil does it make it stronger or what
Genius one again take care cheers
how do you know how much force each winding will generate? could i literally grab any 2 non working microwaves and do this?
What's with the poofy gloves?
So did you wire it parallel or series
Ciao quanti volt gli hai dato.....hello how many volt di you give home ? 12 o 24 volt. ? Grazie thamk iou..
12v dc
coil very hot
Can you tell me why you removed the secondary and just didn’t use it?
It will function as a regular transformer with the secondary winding still in it robbing it of most its magnetism.

And you are not standing on the ground at all you are standing on the floor.
Now I don’t know why I dropped $150 for epoxy potting compound. I could have just built a top cover.
