For this "simple" electromagnet, you'll need: thermo conductive grease and glue, double enameled copper wire, polycarbonate, a 3D printer, a TIG welder, and a lathe capable of machining steel. The aluminium heatsink is optional
@@ShopperPlug Sure. But just the fun it's worth it. Then if you can pay it selling parts, that's the perfect world. If you've got that opportunity, go for it!
Yeah, it's really simple presuming that one has a machine shop at hand. Next....he will build a "simple" HeAr laser using "just" a lathe, a mill, a TIG welder, glass blowing equipment,electric measurement tools, and some random stuff he just happened to have laying around.
Mezmorizing Brother. Fantastic work. What's really great about it is the lack of static noise from it. We've made a few from discarded microwaves but they buzz like crazy
very nice work. i wish i could make one too, but after buying a 5000 euro lathe, 800 euro worth of welding equipment, 1000 euro welding lessons, build a 15000 euro shop to fit the lathe and such, i think i would not have money left to buy the materials to make this...... Lol. nice video!
You don't need those things. You just need to try and want to make something. Repeat it thousand times and you will create something working eventually.
amazing i might make a 3D printed one i dont need that much power and rigidity you need a free wheeling diode so you dont fry whatever is powering that electro magnet (every coil should have a diode) also plz insolate the wires more at 4:24 they might shot out when it gets pressed on or something ...
@@ilikewaffles3689 the magnetic field is generated on demand by the coil to magnetize the steel rod in the middle .... You apply power to the coil ,the coil magnetizes the rod and the rod will stick to metal ..... I only want to print the outer housing
EXCELLENT JOB! I assume you applied a DC voltage. Can you confirm that? Also, did you measure the resistance of the coil? Thank you in advance for your reply. Herman
Thanks! Turning a spool of polyamide on a lathe takes just a few minutes, the polyamide is processed like plasticine. For 3D printing, there would have to be supports to one flange, subsequent smoothing would take more time
I’m curious if there would be any improvement in lifting capacity per watt if bifilar-wound and trufilar-wound coils are used, all other things being equal?
well I'm no expert so i might be wrong but given what knowledge i have this would not work at all since the whole point of a coil is to make all the wire loop in one direction so that the magnetic fields produced in the wire add constructively and make a much bigger field, however if you used bifilar wound wire then your basically changing the direction of the windings of the coil half way since the current will flow in opposing directions on the 2 parts of the wire, this means that bifilar would basically shoot itself in the foot and kill almost all the magnetism and trifilar might approach, but be inferior to the magnetic pull of a single wound wire loop however if you used bifilar then the self cancelling feature would turn it so that you basically made a gate drive transformer, and a ridiculously big one at that, now you can drive a mosfet the size of a car battery lol

I've had much experience with winding electromagnets. One thing that would improve the power levels on the magnetic field ie the Gauss rating, is to take smaller wire find the total length you'll need to fully wind the bobbin. And divide that length by about 8 to 10 pieces. Solder them each at the ends and then rewind the coil. In my experience I was able to improve the Gauss rating by 350%, and have the resistance down to almost less than 1ohm. If you use a layered steel core compared to a solid steel core that will also improve the electromagnets power levels. It could just be mild steel or Supermendur materials.
it’s amazing how powerful only 1 watt of power is, in terms of electromagnetic (attractive) force. I would like to make a very powerful electromagnetic for my most recent experimentation with the don smith rotating separator coil, research i am conducting. thank you for making this video, this is very educational, and extremely helpful to the greatest degrees of simplicity, and precision. Thank you!
We used to use mag drills on structural steel, basically a large, (maybe 30-40 lb?) drill press that cut 1" holes, with a 110 v magnetic base, had to put a chain around it in case someone kicked a breaker, magnet itself could hurt you too.
The diameter of the centre steel shaft is key to performance. If too big, there'll be insufficient windings. If too small, the magnetic field will saturate and limit lifting capacity. An engineering optimisation could potentially increase performance substantially
Thanks! I gave a lot of epoxy there, the wires are practically flooded (not only that they do not touch the housing, it was also a protection against vibration and tearing off)

The most important tool he got is the lathe.
@@ShopperPlug and not a cheap one!
@@josepalacid I’m really saving up to get a nice solid lathe some day. I’m sure it can pay itself later by selling parts made from it.

Fantastic idea with the xt30 connector!
Very nicely executed. It further inspires me to get a lathe to do cool stuff like that. Thanks for sharing
why specifically the xt30 connector a great idea? clarify
Fantastic work, Maciej! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great video! Thanks for the detailed information!
Awesome and very neat workmanship. Cheers.
Congrats, on your work it´s a beautiful piece to demonstrate how can build an electromagnet and test it. Thanks.
Great job, would you consider including a temperature sensor in the future? Could be used to avoid burn out
Very neat and cool project! 👍🏼👍🏼
Nicely done. Complements to your build. 👍👍😊😊
Nice presentation and workpiece congratulations 🥳 👍 thanks 🙏
What a clean design!
Piekny projekt. Thank you for uploading this for all of us to appreciate:) (btw, it brings the meaning of "simple" to a new level!)
great job looks real professional
Really nice job!!!
Very nice and neat construction.
Very neat! Keep it up!
You should make a coil gun, that'd be cool
Really right
Yeah, right!
Yes
That’d be sick
@@franciscovilaca900 in a good way, right?
Great job, congrats.
I really like simple projects.
Nice work. 💯👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for sharing the experiment
Love these projects!
Nice design and build
NIce craftmanship!
It is very cute. Also, it can be used for magnetic levitation with an appropriate controller.
That's very interesting and it looks like it could be done in about a week with all of the material needed to complete it.

Mi ricorda l’esame di quinta elementare quando ho portato un campanello elettrico auto costruito con elettromagnete.
great. just amazing!!!
I love your videos!
that was so cool. Are you machining aluminum with a regular lathe like i would use for wood turning or is it more specialized?
Respect from Egypt Man

What a great project and the work perfect. Do you have a idea of the maximum voltage and amp that you could put into the magnet ?
Cool, I liked it! It’s very interesting how much weight it can withstand, check it with scales, I really want to know!
no waay! superb.
The lathe. The only tool that can make itself.
incredivble brother keep it up
Fantastic !
Well done !
Very cool!
Thank you for a very informative video. I always wanted to know how to make a good electromagnet rather than the crappy ones we made at high school.
Nice build...
good job buddy👍
Nice job.
Amazing!
How many turns?
Which length of copper wire?
EXCELLENT JOB! I assume you applied a DC voltage. Can you confirm that? Also, did you measure the resistance of the coil? Thank you in advance for your reply. Herman
Yes he used DC
Super, thanks 👍

is it possible to use both the faces if you drill all the way through ?
👍🦘 Great video , thanks.

That would be cool on car shock absorbers to change how soft or hard the ride is

How do you put a key slot into an internal?
ماشاءالله تسلم ايدك
How much voltage and amps?
Voce vende isso aí ou é só pra demostraçao? Voce deveria vender tambem.
Great. one little suggestion: should have insulated the solder joints, as they might short circuit though the whole metal body.
Thanks! I gave a lot of epoxy there, the wires are practically flooded (not only that they do not touch the housing, it was also a protection against vibration and tearing off)
perfect.
How many turns did you have on that spul?
May i ask what kind of a steel bar did you use here 304,303,316L or 420 type? also what are the dimensions of inner part and center thanks regards
Very nice and professional looking work. But I would definitely leave “simple” out of the title.
