I really like how you show initial trials when things don't work out, rather than editing them out to make it look like everything works perfect on the first go. All engineers know this is where the learning happens!!
I tried to make this in my dads workshop, and it didn't work, but then i realized that i didn't connect some pieces together (rookie mistake) and my dad helped me to fix it and now it works! Thanks
Very cool video :) Only recommendation I would give would be to add a diode across your solenoid to prevent destruction of your switching transistor. The fly-back on large inductors like those can quickly kill transistors as the high-voltage spike after the magnetic field collapse has to be absorbed. Adding an external diode across the solenoid will clamp down on this preventing the eventual failure that can occur with transistors in these types of loads. Besides the small nit-pick, very cool video. I look forward to seeing more of your content.
My favorite parts of your videos are you showing your screw ups and problem solving. It didn't work correctly the first time you powered the solenoid engine but instead of editing out the content you added it. Kudos! Also I found it really cool that you could cause acceleration by applying slightly more pressure on the adjustable copper wire.
Man, you're so passionate about your stuff that we can feel it too. When you made it worked, I was as excited as you I think. Great work, you've gained a subscriber.
I'm a new subscriber and I love your channel. I really appreciate that you leave in the times you mess up.

Outstanding!!! I really like your work and shop practices, top notch. I'd work with you anytime. If I may offer a suggestion, I have quite a bit of experience making and winding coil springs and have used drills, motors, hand wound and lathes to do so. I have found that in all cases running your wire stock sandwiched between a firmly anchored clamp and piece of wood (mounted to in this case the bed of the lathe) will make your windings on your solenoid tighter, neater, more evenly spaced and give a truly professional appearance. I understand that the coil is not a spring, but the principal and practice are the same. All the best, and look forward to more videos.
This may be off topic, but I think someone might find it interesting. :) Device to end the creation of Nuclear waist. Electric Generator Design that's powered by it's self & perpetuates more electrical current then is needed for it to run continuously on it's own. Step 1: calculate how much energy you need pumped into an electric motor to make a vertically positioned circular platter with magnets in-bedded horizontally around it's left side and right side (so there pushing force is pushing out sideways relative to the vertically spinning disc) to spin as fast as you need it to. Also better to make sure these magnets are shielded around their sides & back with metal that has high permeability so the magnetic field they are emitting is focused fully out sideways. :D Step 2: Calculate how many sets of copper coils you need to be interacting with magnetic fields to achieve this & to perpetuate more electrical current flow then is needed. :D Step 3: Build a round horizontally positioned platter covered in all these copper coils pointed down that does not move (Is stationary) :D Step 4: build a round platter covered in powerful magnets pointed up that can spin and place it directly under platter with hanging copper coils. :D Step 5: Position the vertical platter that is motorized close to the horizontally positioned platter covered in magnets pointing up so that when the vertically positioned platter spins the in-bedded horizontally positioned magnetic fields slam sideways against the edge of the horizontally positioned platter causing it to spin. :) Step 6: Make sure enough of the copper coils are feeding their electrical current into the electric motor and the rest of the copper coils are linked into a set of rechargeable Battery's placed in the closest most convenient spot. Step 7: Build a duplicate setup of horizontally positioned discs with hanging copper coils and disc with upwards facing magnets and assuming the first set of discs are positioned to the front left side of vertical spinning disc, position the other duplicate structures to the front right, the back left and the back right of the vertically positioned motorized disc. As the vertically positioned motorized disc spins the horizontally in-beaded magnets will now hit into all 4 horizontally positioned discs causing them to spin. so you will effectively be using the spin of one disc powered by one electric motor to spin 4 constructs that are each generating electrical current. now build this whole setup multiple times over and use the current perpetuated by it to power up scaled electromagnetic generators that are equal to or more powerful than the ones used in a nuclear power plant. You will now have a device that is self perpetuating off of it's own electrical current perpetuation and no nuclear waist to worry about.
you would be able to get better current transfer by using a linear switch and a cam. just use cam distance of 1 mm. the switch need a spring but can use flat surface contact by increased surface area to prevent current loss in input.
Dear sir, My name is suresh we research about 5mm solenoid switch your video is useful for us but we had some doubt which material is best for plunger what kind of material you used in this above video solenoid kindly suggest some plunger raw material grade

Thanks for the compliment and the tip! Yeah, this is definitely something I'm working on. I first wanted to make sure my content is on point and now this is.
If you drive the flywheel with a prime mover and replace the plunger with a magnet, could it be a generator? Would be neat to have your motor in series with its twin generator to get (some of) your electricity back.
What's the difference bw copper wire and insulated copper wire ???? And also what kind wire is used in motor coils ???? Is it insulated copper wire or just copper wire
How many turns did you put there? If someone knows how many turns should I do at least , please tell me. And is there any Physik low that could measure the power of the coil beside the power of the magnetic field in the coil? I mean is there any low how much weight it could carry if you use that for Lifting things?

I have suggestion for the switching of coil power Why not use a micro switch with arm and roller thus eliminating the transistor and the springy wires you made ?? This is how I would do it
Love this.. Very nice video.. If you have a circuit diagram with specs it would be really great.. I would love to build it for my son and make a moving train or car for him to play.. Cheers.
This is pretty awesome. I feel like this could have been a precursor or prototype to the core armature design using a cammed switch. Makes building a low power motor by hand easier too. Edit: research confirmed electric motor prototype. :)
Amazing video, you're absolutely one of the most intelligent people I've ever seen. You're quite impressive, keep up the great content! The only change I would suggest is explaining why things work. I've never studied engineering, so I have no idea why or how covering a bobbin with copper wire and leaving a little at one end pulls a rod through the bobbin when a current is added. Great video though, but now I have to go do more research! Peace ✌🏻🤙🏻
Great job on your design and engine! I have made similar solenoid engines, but the switching has always been a problem. I think that a hall effect transistor switch would be the way to go. Thanks for a great video!
Hi, yes dc in-air contacts for switching even modest current of less than half an amp are a pain. I agree that electronic switching is far better. But if you're a weirdly stubborn purist like me it can be done without semiconductors. I took the contacts out of the thermostat of a scrapped fan heater, rated for 240V at nearly 8 amps. Overkill? My little "electric Newcomen beam engine" runs on 6V at about 300mA. I gave myself a pat on the back!
Yo he construido algunos motores de solenoide y si efectivamente para energizar la bobina el switch es un problema. Para corregir el problema hice una bobina con alambre delgado sobre una jeringa que me diera como 15 ohmios y lo que use de pistón fueron dos imanes de neodimio . Para la carrera del piston no usar más de la mitad del recorrido dentro de la bobina . Para cerrar el circuito utilizar dos alambres que hagan contacto en el eje . Si desea le envío un vídeo
Would piezo-electric structure be more eco-efficient and maybe durable too? Transistors and motors are also nice, because always have wondered what is the purpose of ferromagnetic flux densifier in those? It is about the total flux, not about flux density... Electric magnets are something different, funny world is not it? Or am I completely wrong here... :D
❤Hi, your tool is very good, but it is not working properly. I used it for IC thinking and used a power circuit to increase the power. The first weight you used was not good. The copper weight cut the air It works. I am lucky to have found such a good tool and computer
Hoi Emiel, een beetje late reactie op deze video. Is het misschien een idee om een spoelenwikkelaar te bedenken? Het eindresultaat ziet er geweldig uit, alleen heeft mijn OCD wat moeite met de slordige wikkelingen...
I just discovered you channel and I really like the way your honest about your mistakes. most you tubers are terrified of showing them and edit everything like crazy. a true engineer, (such as yourself), knows that all good mechanical devices require hours if not years of trial and error to work out the kinks, and therefor are not afraid of those small mistakes along the way. good on ya bro. as a new subscriber, id like to join the group with a question. I've seen other people make solenoid engines of various types, in general they are all very clunky, my question is: is there any practical purpose/situation where a solenoid engine would be better than a standard electric motor, (other than for quick back and forth motion), for rotating a wheel/flywheel etc? thanks, and I'm looking foreword to checking out more of your vids.
I believe indeed that mistakes are part of the process. But a lot of people get scared by the idea of making mistakes. That why I try to keep them in the video if they happen and they are worth showing. To be honest I don't know of a practical use for a solenoid engine. But they are nice to make and fascinating to watch.
I have watched your 4 cylinder one as well, awesome videos. You should try 3d print a Nitro engine but create a solenoid around the piston. You could then re-use most of the Nitro gear, flywheel, maybe the throttle somehow?
I want to craft a blowback bolt for my gun project, the bolt should move about 9-10cm, what length I should do the solenoid, as the bolt have a welded long steel pipe that should go inside the solenoid, and a spring also to return it as soon as I take my hand from the trigger. Is not a real gun, is just an airsoft pistol and I will build a fake gun around it, but I need to have the blowback effect :) also, what batteries I must use? Can I use 9v or I must have 12v? Also, can I use 7.2 or 8.4v, 1800mah (standard airsoft electric gun battery etc? :)
I don't know what you need specific. But I think you can use any voltage as long as the amps are right. I tried to get about 2 ampere through the spool. Determine what amps you want and from there you can calculate the ohms the spool needs to be. Then you can look at copper wire and use the resistance per meter to calculate what length / thickness combination you need. There is a lot of dependant factors and is just trial and error for me.
@@Thepracticalengineer all I need is to move a piece of cilindrical metal, with a Soft spring, but I'm totally crap with voltage/amperage so that's why I don't know if an airsoft battery will do the trick, so to move that 200 grams piece of metal.... But I appreciate your answer :)

It would have nice if you would of show us how you wired up the transistor and don't you need a resistor for the bass? Regards Roger.
Great work and craftsmanship!!But the thing is I can't make one by myself after watching this video so add more content on how it really works
I agree, the electronics/wiring part on it too.
you would be able to get better current transfer by using a linear switch and a cam. just use cam distance of 1 mm. the switch need a spring but can use flat surface contact by increased surface area to prevent current loss in input.
solenoid engine is very good source for electricity, we used half pedal cycle of cycle and gives energy to this solenoid engine and wise versa
Come to kerala and make it ur second vacation home... With ur mechanical engineering projects here boss love to have u here
Add a second cylinder and it could become self starting. Might need a micro to allow for a longer pulse at the beginning.
I might be working on a second version..

Ah yes, it sounds just like my uncle's old John Deer one lounger tractor he used to have on the farm, now that was a rig.
It's great that you finshed!!
Excellent video. What was the voltage across the coil and the gauge of copper wire used?
This one runs at 24 volts I believe I used wire with a 0.36 mm diameter here
It sounds like Diesel engine running on 900RPM
Correct! 👌 😀
Like a Lister SL1

would be very nice is you reduce volume when you play the machining parts during editing like how AvE does

Hey man can you please tell me why you used those copper springs? And how does the plunger come out to make the following strokes ?

Yes, put a cammed switch using a set of Automotive points
How did you calculate the number of turns and the voltage required applying to the coil ? Do you have any equation for making a coil like you did ?
