- Other parts to the internal combustion engine build are also coming soon! Stay tuned! If any of you guys are here from Hackaday, welcome! Thanks for checking out my UA-cam channel! And for anyone who has not seen, my internal combustion engine was featured on Hackaday: hackaday.com/2015/12/22/homema...
Keep exploramenting and thank you for watching! And Merry Christmas! Don't forget to subscribe for more! ua-cam.com/users/makerj101... - Наука та технологія
This guy is awesome. He goes and makes all this cool stuff and I think it's amazing.
+ALT Spitfire Thank you! :D
Thanks man! It is fantastic to see a guy so enthusiatic and interested in machines. You are such an inspiration
I'm a high performance race engine builder, so when I came across this 'from scratch build', I was intrigued. So I've watched each and every post about this project, thinking to myself, why didn't he do this...why didn't he do that? But, as this engineering task became more mature, I became more impressed. You've got a good handle on how things work and how, in conjunction, things should work. That's the difference between a good build/project and a great one. Its great to see this start from a idea and raw materials, to a petty sweet piece of function and art. Keep on keeping on! OK...that all being said.....please do a 4 stroke version. I know you can do it, and it would be great to see what you can come up with. 👍👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
hey
i dont mind the lack of video's
just take your time
+robot797
also
wow that engine (with pomp) keeps getting better
and i wish i had the knowhow to build stuff like that
i am just good with tube circuits
+robot797 Thanks! VT are pretty awesome and I always wished I knew more about them.
Merry Christmas! As always, Thanks for sharing your projects with us!
The crack on the piston is where the "wrist pin" goes. Nice casting mate! Merry xmas
+Robonza Wrist pin, that's it! I always mix things up LOL! thank you! Same to you!
Just discovered and subscribed to the channel. Your channel reminds me of CodysLab in a lot of ways and that is certainly a compliment. Nice to see youngins that love science, do cool DIY stuff, and share it with the rest of us. Keep up the good work!
I just recently found your videos. I was looking up more on steam engines and found your old steam engine video. Your idea inspired me and I drew out and designed my own steam engine. Going to the hardware store tomorrow to build one. Thanks for the inspiration you just gained yourself a subscriber.
+Myth Industries Thank you! Best of luck building your steam engine! Let me know if you have any questions. My email is located in channel description as I sometimes do not see all comments.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
I don't know how I ended up on the your channel, but I'm glad you can do what you do. I've torn stuff apart and modified things since I was at least 11 years of age, now 40...
With your internal combustion engine and the mention of a MOSFET and coil, I thought you would have alot of fun with a Megasquirt or Microsquirt. These are automotive ECUs you can assemble your self, tune, log, and monitor sensors on an engine. This is right up your alley....
ICE looks good! Amazing water pump and water jacket build. Merry Christmas.
+Lidmotor Thank you! Same to you!
+Makerj101 are you dead?
Thanks... Merry Christmas 2015 . Thanks for showing this creativity... I do enjoy that a lot! Take your time for showing everyone.
+Harry Haefner Thank you! Same to you!
it's "john johnson" (
what a nice guy , keep up the good work , you will have a bright future , liked and subscribed
Dude I totally feel you about getting excited about projects and not making videos. I always try but get too distracted by the project or just don't want to get the camera out. So don't even worry about it
Nice displays indeed! Also love the switches too! Those look nice! Merry Christmas to you too!
+Triangle_DIY Thanks!
Also, the flywheel turned out nice! Please post the video of that, how crappy it might be, no problem. It turned out really nice!
+Triangle_DIY Thank you! I'll definitely post the video whenever I get around to editing it LOL! I think the footage turned out decently as my new camera has excellent low light performance due to the quite large sensor.
You remind me of me as a kid ha ha ha. Keep up the awesome work!
brilliant videos mate love the IC engine wish i could do a solder job half as good as the one on that water jacket
would love to see how you made that small water pump as i could do with a couple and it would be cool to make them.
keep up the good work on your videos :)
Dude you are making some neat stuff ;)
Dude! Decaf! ;D You're like me - you've got a hundred projects all half done before you got interested in something else. Happy New Year to you too!
+Culturedropout Hahaha I don't drink any coffee! I just talk really fast sometimes. Yeah it's too easy to start on a new project and leave the old ones to maybe get finished another time. Happy New Year!
Graet channel keep up the good work!
Got some great projects going there. About being lazy and crazy. It takes a lot of effort to be crazy, so you must be wearing yourself out and getting tired. Your not lazy, just need to pull back on that crazy a little...LOL God Bless have a Great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
+jjackdaddy56 LOL yep! Thanks! Same to you!
Keep up the good work. U r doing great.
+bouncer2012 Thank you!
My wife can never understand why I buy large amounts of cool little tid bits and start working on like 3 projects at a time. She see's it as all junk until it is in a working form. I see the potential of certain parts albeit from a computer, car, gun or anything else. Right now I am working on a gun myself while working to mod a L36 to sport a supercharger and just finishing up my 2 stroke engine project to use to power something (haven't decided yet)
It is good to see other people are like me in that sense because I was starting to feel like a hoarder.
thanks for your time.
It does get pretty exhausting recording and explaining everything you do as you do it. There are lots of step by step videos and the good ones have several people working on them. Props to you for doing it all Solo.
+Thomas Sexton Thank you! It does take a bit of work. I don't mind making the videos so much and replying to comments and such, it's the editing I don't like as much.
I actually really enjoy video editing. It's something I started learning in Middle School, and these days I used Adobe Premiere. I know that reducing 8 hours of footage into something like 5-10 mins is hard to find the best moments, and make sure the point is clear.
Merry Christmas!
+Thomas Sexton Cool! Maybe I should hire someone like you to edit my videos for me! That why I can focus on building stuff! :D I use Sony Vegas 13 Pro. It works really well.
I'm only familiar with Adobe Premiere and Windows Movie Maker. However, recently my Adobe Subscription ended, so I can no longer use their programs...which is lame...but you do a fine job with the edits. I'll be staying tuned in. :)
You are way too smart for at least 7 people so far!You will go far in life young man. I wish I was as astute as you.
+jtjjbannie LOL thanks! IDK why there are so many dislikers. Oh well.
Because haters hate my friend.
Keep on keepin on!
+jtjjbannie Yeah! Sadly it's just a fact of life!
A bit late, but merry christmas! I'm still waiting for a video with that crt tube. I did get some awesome shots with mine, even though it's toasted now :p I have to edit them and maybe put a soundtrack on that :)
P.S. You did a great job with the engine, that new flywheel looks awesome!
+XanderZ IDK if I'll ever get around to playing around with that oscilloscope tube. I have so many other projects in the works right now.
Well, focus on the internal combustion engine then, it's the most successful project on your channel, I guess :) And keep the oscilloscope tube, you'll never know when you are going to do something with it ;)
+XanderZ Well I haven't even started the IC engine up in over a month. I've mostly been working on a million other projects. I'm building a mono tube boiler. I also got some LED strip lights in that I was experimenting with.
I'm your fan! You are good!! Keep going!
Bob
wow, you are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about these things!
Great job man!
I'm going into the Navy, and they are going to train me on nuclear reactors, cause the Navy said I was smart, which is pretty cool. But right know, compared to you, you are a genius.
Dude when i turn 18 im foing the same thing! Thats cool!
you'r just awsome dude :D
I am wondering how you did the start plug electronics. How do you get it to spark at the right moment? Just checking in, and looking forward to new videos.
I gave thumbs up just for your intro alone!
I hope that it will soon launch
I do not care what he builds, I for one am just glad there are younger people making and building things, and not on the mobile devices all the time. You go, and keep on making
+Brian Casey but what if they're making things for mobile devices?
+deathpony698 99 percent of the people on the mobile devices are just mind-rotting away
+Brian Casey lol as you reply using what exactly? Perhaps a mobile device? Hmmm
nope not on a mobile device, unless you count that this computer sits on a cart :)
FRICKEN SWEET!!SUBBED!!
dude! you where right about the extension tubes, i need to get my hands on one of those! much cheaper solution to a macro lens. great to see another vid, loving the look of that engine, some fine work you do, its like a piece of art. Keep it up man!
+Corbonzo Yeah the extension tubes work really well! I can even get closer shots but for video it's inconvenient. The way to get closer shots is by zooming in the telephoto lens all the way but the draw back is you have to be about 4 feet away from the subject to be in focus. It's kinda odd really. But they are pretty nice and cheap. They also do not effect the quality of the image at all unlike those magnifier filters things. These are the ones I bought: smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BXZ9ALQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 They are all plastic but a pretty good quality plastic. Thank you! Will do!
+Makerj101 You could also use something like the Hama Nah Close-up. You just screw it on your lens like an ordinary filter and it allows you to focus really close. It does not change the focal leght but instead the minimal focus distance.
+spidermann5000 How does it make it minimum focal length smaller? How much will it decrease the minimum focal length? Thank you!
Its like if you put a magnifying glass in front of the lens, its really simple. A teleconverter does deliver better IQ tho but I think for the kind of video you are doing it would be al right + you would not neet to film from one corner to the other.
Nice work on the engine! I've been following the build from part 1. Well impressed that even the water pump was made entirely from scratch :O
If you've still got access to a lathe, have you thought about casting and machining an aluminium piston for it? You might be able to improve compression by having more than one piston ring groove, like in commercial engines and maybe use lead, tin or another soft metal to form the rings..?
Also, I've built a few ignition driver circuits before and while I've made MOSFETs work, they die incredibly easily if they see HV transients on any of the pins.. I found darlington NPN transistors to be almost indestructible during testing (MJ10012, using a second transistor to drive it with a logic level signal from an arduino). The coils I tried needed a fairly fixed 1-2mS pulse IIRC, too short and the spark is weak, too long and the coil saturates and draws excessive current.
Finally, those HP LED modules are awesome! They look like they might be some of the first commercial LED matrix modules, what with the ceramic bases, gold plated and so on, no expense spared! Might be worth messaging Fran Blanche (of the same UA-cam channel name) and asking about them - a fair few of her videos are on extreme cool vintage electronics, and might she might be able to shed some light on them or point you in the right direction?
Congratulations on the progress that you've made -- both in school and on the engine.
2:57 -- BTW, does anyone know what the function of the Smucker's jam jar (red and white check lid) is?
Nice video.
Anyway what is your major in engineering?
Merry late Christmas.
You are on the same ADD level as me. I feel like we would get along very well if you lived in oklahoma.
Hey, you featured your tektronix tm504 in an earlier video about 5 months ago. I was wondering how you like it/how it's holding up. I need some equipment, and the tm504 seems like a reliable and relatively cheap option. I don't really have to money to get all new equipment.
ICE looks great, very impressive. Makes me want to build one! Merry Christmas.
+Henry Love I love it! I mostly use the power supply. I almost always have the volt meter in parallel with the power supply. I use the signal generator a lot too. The signal generator has a really nice out put so you don't need any amplification to run small speaker and such. I have not done much with the pulse generator yet. I highly recommend it. Make sure you get one that has one of the good variable power supplies that can supply 1.5 amps. I believe there is also a power supply model that will only do 500ma. Be warned though, the thing is HUGE. This would also not be the biggest bang for your buck if you are looking for just a power supply and volt meter. If what you need is a power supply and a volt meter, your basic cheapo meter will probably do more than this meter and one of these power supplies can probably do more amps and is possibly cheaper: smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=variable+power+supply&sprefix=variable+power+supply%2Caps%2C241
If your looking for signal generator you might be better off getting a signal gen like this: smile.amazon.com/Sinometer-Function-Generator-stability-accuracy/dp/B000JD0BVG/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1451222707&sr=8-11&keywords=signal+generator
The modules are fairly expensive for this unit as are most old Tektronix equipment. They will run you about $70 a module on eBay if you get a good deal. I was looking to buy another power supply module and volt meter for mine but I didn't want to pay that much. Could get a decent auto ranging meter for a similar price and it's a ton more portable.
+Makerj101 Thanks! That's very helpful, I'll take a look at some smaller units like the ones you linked
Hook the 36V brushless motor/generator directly to the Ozone generator in the circuit, after the AC to DC step down transformer.
Just like hooking the phone charger to it. It will run the circuit to produce spark without needing to be plugged into mains power.
It seams you're starting to build as space ship wery soon ;)
R.I.P. Channel
+Back Up not dead is it ?.....
what ever happened to part six of the engine build?
good video
that was really interesting. you're a fuel pump and starter and there it is a car
Dude that's amazing I would want to make something like that but i wouldn't know where to start.
+Suits inblack Just start! :D That's what I did!
+Makerj101 that is true.
+Suits inblack And my first attempt was a fail. Being afraid to fail is one of the worst things you can do.
Lazy and Crazy, know the feeling!
+Joep Stuyfzand It's too easy! LOL
Makerj101 Just a question, with what circuit do I control a universal motor? (Vacuum cleaner)
I need to control the speeds for a lathe.
+Joep Stuyfzand You're going to need to change the voltage. Frequency does not matter for a universal motor. They will even work great on DC. So there are tons of ways you can very the speed. You could rectify mains and then use PWM, you could use a variac... I'd say the cheapest thing would be a light dimmer(I'm not sure it would be able to handle the current) or a ceiling fan speed control.
+Makerj101 thank you, I don't have that much knowledge about this subject, all of it comes from youtube and google.
we don't have this in school yet.
I am going to try "AC voltage regulator", they are about 2€ on ebay and rated for 2000watts, my motor is 1300watt so I should be good.
will you ever make your own motor? and power something with it! :3
do you have a video about its ignition system?
I know this is a bit old now but have you considered running your fuel through the water jacket? So far as i know warm fuel atomizes better. could boost efficiency. It would also cut out potential for water scale build up
i would have used the warm water to circulate either through the fuel bottle or the inlet manifold.
+IsbjörnXII that could have worked as well. not a bad idea
great vids! now that youve discovered extension rings you should step up and look into inverter rings!
supermacro! ;)
9:53 They break way more easily and the glass fragments can damage the camera lens even if the would not be harmed without the filter. Look out for that one. But dor dust protection, they are cool.
+Krisztián Szirtes Hmmm I suppose I could see that.
+Tigerlie Not all of them are covered in that one. Most UV filter drop very minor detail. Also there is a kinda good article on this
petapixel.com/2015/08/31/photo-mythbusters-how-much-do-uv-filters-actually-protect-your-lenses/
very interesting article. So yeah cheap filters probably don't do much. I'll see if I notice any difference in quality when using the filter or not. If I don't notice any difference than I will probably keep using the filter on the stock lens. That is because I have found the stock lens harder to clean. But yeah seems like they are not going to protect the lens at all.
I changed all the bad tungsten lamps in my Christmas lights to LEDs this year. I had plenty of LEDs and all I had to do was build a simple bridge rectifier.
+ElfNet Gaming Hahaha nice! I bet that was a lot of work!
not really. I have so many strings of dead LED christmas lights I have an over stockpile of LEDs. This year alone my neighbors gave me all their dead strings and I have well over 5000 LEDs of various types and colors. Add that to previous donations and collections and the numbers soar on up there.. I even re-purposed some of the cold white version as usable light sources that are totally solar powered.
+ElfNet Gaming Wow! It's gotta be a ton of work pulling all the bulbs out and then threading the LEDs into the holders. I'm surprised that the number of bulbs is the right amount for LEDs too.
I had to make some modification here and there but nothing to bad
Thumbs Up Again!
Dude what's going on?? I love your videos are you alive or what??
what camera do you use?
Now cast an aluminum piston for it!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, MakerJ!! I totally love your new flywheel, what an awesome job. I've been looking around for one for my new steam engine ua-cam.com/video/YA6pC296v0o/v-deo.html or otherwise, something that I can use as a flywheel. I need to start collecting more scrap than I already have, lol. I am also contemplating casting one, maybe reproduce the flywheel from my Wilesco D16 steam engine. Right now I'm thinking of using lead (as much as I hate lead) cast into a plaster mold... Not sure if it will work... I don't have a mill, let alone a CNC but I do have a nice drill press that I've sometimes used as a lathe. I hope you can keep up the videos with your school schedule. Cheers!
+ch300fnqi Thank you! I could cast you a mini version of this flywheel and send you it if you are interested. I love casting things and I always need more things to cast! I would love to promote your channel because your steam engines are truly awesome! -Makerj101
+Makerj101 Hey thank you so much for your comments and offer!! I started to make a styrofoam pattern and intend to cast it in lead sometime later this week. I really like an antique look much like yours in fact and made a CAD drawing of it. If you are willing to cast it for me, that would be totally awesome! My diameter is 6 cm and width is 12 mm. Shaft size is 3/16". But anyway, only if you have time (I know you're busy)! Send me an email at pierre12 at gmail and we can chat. I will also get you some specs on the bushings that I'm using. All the best!
+ch300fnqi Cool! Lead would be a very good material for a flywheel since it's so heavy. Just not that healthy. Wash your hands that all. You could consider making it out of pewter or lead free solder. Lead free solder is fairly pricey. Pewter dishes and things can be found for a good deal at garage sales and such. Melts at a really low temperature and is heavy. I sent you an email too! Best wishes!
what happened to part 6 of ICE????
come on man we miss you
when you gpnna upload again
Do a neon bulb unsoldering video please
how old are you, future machinist in the making
+412firefox4124 I'm 20 and thanks!
+Makerj101 well good job man really cool stuff
You can pick up those can style coils for $10 at a parts store
Will this work in an Rc plane, I mean how heavy is it
+Jigsaw I wish! It's fairly heavy and it only puts out 15watts so it's like 1/50th horsepower.
+Makerj101 I mean what if you made it out of aluminium and carbon fibre would it work and more powwwwwwwer
Well that was an abrupt end
Have you thought about making a jet engine?
So no more videos.. Hope you are doing ok man.
*sniffle sniffle* where have you been
How did you pick up this hobby
when's the next video?
Dude!!! What happened??? Are you ok where are the vids!!!!????
Heyy where did ya go??
+Kyle Coulson he has been a bit crazy and lazy XD
Please don't waste your money using a mosfet for the ignition circuit. There are plenty of circuits using thyristors for this exact application on the web. ;)
where da vids ?¿?¿?¿
What are you studying at school?
+Mary Colomaio General studies at community college and I will transfer to a university for mechanical engineering.
glad to see you back, btw i welded a quadracycle, check it out if you like, its on my channel!
no he will be back, i know him a little bit. hes very busy with school.
how old are u?
+CYber GeNik 20
Typo in my last comment I meant to say, I'm a bit of a gaper*....my apologies, princess!
why does he look 40 and sound 12?
+TheMagicTurtle Because that's the way God made me. I'm 20.
hey makerj101 i was wondering if you want to do a colaberation together im starting my new channel amd was going to build a coil gun for the first project. message my back if you want to be part od the build.
rip channel
did you die again come on where are the awsome vids
You know 23,775 subscribers and don't post for months legit huh?
cool project.
my girlfriend watched and asked if you have a girlfriend
I miss your eletronics projects like that home made ajustable power supply u were building, high voltage experiments, did u take a break or lost interest on it?
+malicious1111 When I was testing out the boost converter it fried under very little load. I kinda scrapped the project.
I'm a high performance race engine builder, so when I came across this 'from scratch build', I was intrigued. So I've watched each and every post about this project, thinking to myself, why didn't he do this...why didn't he do that? But, as this engineering task became more mature, I became more impressed.

I know you can do it, and it would be great to see what you can come up with. 👍👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great work, awesome job, you should be proud of yourself my friend!
