Ball Kicking Mechanism using Custom-made Electromagnetic Solenoid

This video shows you how to build a ball kicking mechanism using a custom made electromagnetic solenoid. The circuit uses a ZVS capacitor charging module, a 2700uF 450VDC electrolytic capacitor, a 12V battery and a switch besides the solenoid itself. That's all. No diodes, no ceramic resistors, no nothing. To construct the solenoid, you need to get the magnet wire to build the coil, a piece of PVC pipe and a custom made plunger. You can ask your mechanical engineering friend to make you the plunger.
Circuit diagram: goo.gl/7zy8vR.
If you want to activate the kicker using wireless RF remote relay module, then use this circuit: goo.gl/CFRWC2. It is combined with a micro switch for local activation feature and the best part is, both of the relay and switch are working together to cut the supply from ZVS capacitor charging module to prevent back current when either one is pressed/triggered. When both are idle, they will make sure the loop to the capacitor is always established to ensure the solenoid activation is always ready.

how much is Newton force giving by the solenoid rod?

[@theyband6727]

Can you please tell what wire gage you used (AWG) for solenoid and how many feet? Also, can you please share the spool length and diameter? Thanks.

[@sandeepkumar-yg9cr]

Can you make detailed video

[@arya8431]

terima kasih banyak, sangat membantu bagi pemula.

[@nudgeme4844]

made Aryawijaya Sama-sama :)

[@alwidahlan2959]

Mas. Apa aja sih bahan yg mas pakai untuk membuat tendangan kicker lebih keras? Komponen dan alat"nya kalu bisa Mas. Soalnya saya pas charging, lama banget dan gak bisa full capacitornya. Dan kadang putus fuse di DC Booster nya

[@hamzahteknik2018]

Iya mas betul,,,saya jg mengalami masalah yg sama

[@nmhanz4444]

brape ye saiz gauge coil tu ?

[@ilfanbrt3070]

bagaimana kalau kita menggunakan battery SLA 12V 7A? apakah bisa?
soalnya saya liat di rangkaian capacitor charger nya input max 5A

[@nudgeme4844]

+ilfan brt Ya bisa aja. Mengikut pengalaman yang saya lalui, tidak ada apa2 masalah menggunakan bateri SLA 12V 7Ah pun. Kerana 7Ah tu adalah capacity bateri itu, dan ia akan supply arus mengikut demand semasa dari capacitor charger itu, bukannya semestinya dia supply 7A sepanjang masa.

[@ilfanbrt3070]

ok, terimakasih ..penjelasannya

[@yomiadilriawan3134]

i want to ask, how to make the selenoid. can you share with us..?

[@nudgeme4844]

Hmm..maybe I will do that..

[@yomiadilriawan3134]

Nudge Me, i want ask again. How increase the power.. ?
And send to my email. [e-mail]
Thanks

[@nudgeme4844]

Legaria 79 To increase the power, you need to do either:
1. Increase the number of coil winding
2. Use thicker magnet wire
3. Use as highest voltage as possible
If you can do all of the above, the result would be astonishing.

[@yomiadilriawan3134]

Nudge Me. I want ask again hehe. How diameters did you recommend to robot soccer.? Thanks 😁

[@nudgeme4844]

Hi, the normal plunger diameter that I always see is half an inch, the same diameter for most of home PVC pipes.

[@akueajim7794]

good work 👍

[@nudgeme4844]

Thank you!

[@akueajim7794]

it that problem from kicker are fixed ?

[@nudgeme4844]

akue ajim Yes it has been resolved.

[@sikasinfo1559]

solenoid nya beli dimana bang?

[@hamzahteknik2018]

Mau nanya mas,,,kok modul yg sya pake selalu putus fuse nya ya,,,padahal capasitornya cuma 1000an mikrofarad

[@Kitsu_no_mirai]

Kapasitornya ganti yg bipolar mas

[@hamzahteknik2018]

@@Kitsu_no_mirai iya mas memang capasitor bipolar (elko) yg sy pke,,,

[@Kitsu_no_mirai]

Pakai yg kaya punyanya raket nyamuk.

[@ryardfirdaus5399]

Do you have it's discharging circuit bro??

[@nudgeme4844]

You can discharge it by shorting a 1 ohm (big white resistor) across the capacitor's terminals, or shorting a coil of solenoid (remove the plunger to avoid kicking mechanism) across the capacitor's terminals.

[@muhammadsyaiful8393]

butuh berapa lama nge charge itu mas?

[@wahyudilubai447]

Mas kok module charger motor saya cuman 70v vout nya , atau di module ada yang diatur?

[@nudgeme4844]

Wahyudi Lubai Kalau mas guna module ini: shopee.com.my/eeasylifee.my/416888107, ia bisa diatur outputnya hingga 390V

[@wahyudilubai447]

iya mas saya gunain module itu kok tp masih aja 70V
itu module mas diputer2 dak,
ada kontak wa gak mas biar enak saya nanya2

[@wahyudilubai447]

Nudge Me ohh iya cara atur nya putar ke kiri atau kekanan mas

[@nudgeme4844]

+Wahyudi Lubai Saya pulas ok je dia bisa pergi sampai 390V. Heran bin ajaib.

[@wahyudilubai447]

pipa pvc nya plasti atau besi yaa mas kalau mau buat

[@nurfauzihidayat9403]

Bagi circuit rangkaian dong...

[@okypap]

dmn saya bisa dapat selenoid trsbut

[@nudgeme4844]

Oky putra pamungkas Hai, coba lihat di sini: shopee.com.my/wonderfulhouse.my/103382153. Solenoid seperti dalam video sy bina sendiri, maka untuk memudahkan anda, boleh coba beli yang sudah ready made seperti dalam link di atas.

[@nudgeme4844]

Oky putra pamungkas Anda boleh tonton video ini untuk melihat bagaimana ia dipasang: ruclips.net/video/GsnxzMAczHU/видео.html. Terima kasih.

[@okypap]

Terimakasih banyak .... ☺

[@okypap]

itu bener selenoid 12v, tapi kita memakai 400v ?

[@nudgeme4844]

Oky putra pamungkas Ya benar. Walaupun voltan tidak sama tetapi ia tidak akan merosakkan solenoid tersebut.
