You could probably do something “infinite” by using a crank driven flywheel that gets going using a handcrank and is maybe kept going by a small water screw style turbine, so it would generate more than the water wheel itself normally would, just me brainstorming though idk if it would work or not
@@zyanidwarfare5634 what you're hinting at would be akin to a pony motor, which would start a bigger one in case of low power from the river, as the big wheel would need more power to start than to run. something you might want to look at is hydraulic rams, which can pump higher than regular pumps, but not constantly. besides overcoming friction/starting a bigger wheel or getting water to a better place (like crossing a high spot) I don't think there are gains to using a secondary wheel that can't be made by just having it produce energy directly.
@@davemwangi05 incidentally, you can convert the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into gasoline. What you need is a CO2 capture plant and a hydrolysis plant to provide the raw materials for synthetic fuel, and lots of energy to power it all. Look up Carbon Engineering.
Shortly afterwards something usually goes *ping!* and hits a wall. Early science must have been interesting, trying to work out whether that noise, smell, sudden increase in temperature or intense vibration was normal or a warning sign of unintentional rapid and forceful self dismantling of the experiment.
Cody, you’ve really outdone yourself. This is one of the best science demonstration videos I’ve seen on UA-cam (and I’ve seen a lot). Using the LEDs to demonstrate how the current alternates is brilliant. My kids have been asking me how electricity is produced, and this video makes it super clear, so we’re going to watch it together ASAP. Thanks, and keep it up!!
Yup this subject when taught in school was just boring and confusing but watching this video is so fun and the practical demomstrations are easily understood
One of the best things about your videos is you always show the errors you encounter along the way - this makes them much more valuable than many others out there. Thank you Cody!

@@GrugGangGrugGang Indeed, I thought it was a bit hard to miss. Also if a Tesla model T takes more physical effort to start than the generator he was starting... something is very wrong.
Cody is correct. The model T doesn't have compression release, the Listeroid does. Watch him start it the first time, he gets the engine up to speed, and then he releases the compression release. I've never run an Indian Listeroid, but I have run a few real Lister engines. steve
I get what you’re saying, but he didn’t quite turn a generator into a generator. He added another generating output on his motor. Like putting a second alternator on a car motor. Now if you ran an electric motor off this motors generator output, and ran another generating component on the output of that motor, you would be turning a generator into a generator. I really don’t care. Just for fun of pondering’s sake. It’s like 4am and I have nothing better to do
I work in an optical lab and the alloy we use to mount lenses for machining has such a low melting point that hot tap water can melt it. It's really fun to mess around with as long as you wash your hands after.
Electrical engineer here. The Skin Effect also influences the distribution of current in a block of copper. At higher frequencies, more of the current is distributed closer to the surface. At sufficiently high frequencies, a block of copper can actually become a wall which the currents on either side will have trouble crossing. The back EMF is proportionally induced in the center of the conductor, pushing the electrons toward the edge of the conductor. When designing circuit boards, this can lead to interesting situations where you need to place a stitching via when crossing a reference plane like ground. This allows the highest frequency currents to shift from one side of the copper pour to the other side. Without a stitching via, the currents become stray, searching desperately for some way to get to the other side of the wall. And when they do, these stray currents usually create large inductive loops that make the circuit radiate significant energy. What's interesting here is that your setup creates 163 cycles per revolution, with 10 rev/sec that's 1.63 kHz, which is a pretty respectable frequency. There are convenient calculators for the skin effect online, because this is a challenge electrical engineers deal with regularly. At 60 Hz, the skin effect is 8.5mm in copper, which is why for AC distribution you rarely see anything much thicker than that. For 1.63 kHz, the skin effect is roughly 1.5mm. If you're too much thinner than this (the bullet's casing was about 1/4th of this), the losses are too low to do much heating. The skin depth for lead, by the way, is about 5.6mm. A 45 caliber bullet ought to have 11.5mm diameter, right? That's about 2x the skin depth, so *if* you were going to induce significant losses in lead, that's probably a decent thickness to use. Stronger magnets would help. Faster magnets might actually backfire, because the skin depth tends to go down by the square root of the frequency; if your skin effect losses are already too low, moving the magnets faster might produce even less heat. Furthermore, geometry of the objects plays a large part. That's because the contours of these objects tends to be significant and on the order of the skin depth. You could see an example of the skin depth in action by looking at the portions of the alloy that started to melt first, and which melted the most.
This is truly the most underrated comment in this section. I'm working with induction heating, not an electrical engineer btw, but just can't get my head around the skin effect, eddy currents, and the sort at the moment. Thanks for the lucid explanation.
I also suspect a large part of the reason the penny heated up so much more is because it was positioned significantly closer (it didn't have the "holding wires" in the way, adding separation) and it had substantial surface area running parallel to the magnets (it was flat, not a rounded bullet shape). Both of these factors would induce far stronger currents in the penny than in the shell of the bullet, too...
This is so amazing you are using a physical or mechanical switching of magnetic fields to generate this kind of temperature! I would have imagined this WOULD NOT be possible without transistor switching! LOVE IT!
Hey Cody, many years ago I used to run a diesel cement mixer for my dad, and he always told me NEVER to wrap my thumb around the starting handle, because if it backfires, it can break your thumb. Just cupping you’re fingers and thumb around the one side of the handle means a backfire will throw the handle out of your hand without breaking your thumb.
i think codys handle has a mechanism like a ratchet wrench so it only turns one way otherwise he wouldnt be able to take the handle off and the thing would be horribly unbalanced.
A friend of mine was trying to crank an old tractor & it kicked back & broke his forearm then he told me that was the 3rd time that happened. At least it wasn't his thumb tho 😂😂😂
I broke my scaphoid bone in my wrist as I had my thumb wrapped around a cement mixer handle when it kicked back, after this happened everyone on site told me not to hold the handle like this,if only they had told me beforehand.
I think Cody’s fetish is bare minimum safety. My favorite moments are him dipping his hand in Mercury and him shooting a blowtorch at his hand while holding only a piece of stale bread to show it was a good insulator.
Cody is like one of those old, weird (but really cool) people that fascinate you with knowledge...but he's young. It's weird. lol He reminds me of my dad.
Now just imagine when he's actually old, the man will have like triple the knowledge of those old weird but super knowledgable old people of yore! He'll be like a walking sage of fascinating knowledge. I definitely know who I want on my side when the apocalypse hits hard.
It's the alternating magnetic fields what makes the noise. If you've got a small motor and a small VFD. If you hold the output of the shaft and turn the frequency up. You'll hear the fields moving around even though the shaft is stationery. I wouldn't try it out through. Because if you don't know what your doing, you'll cut your hand to shreds and break your wrist.
You need to take in consideration that the penny of dated before 1982 was 95% copper and 5 % zinc and any penny after is only copper plated zinc. ... therefore you have a different melt temp. ... love the science behind magnetic... great video my friend!
62C isn't that low, its definitely enough to give you burns if not removed quickly. It's interesting he conveyed it as on par of parrafin wax which is bout 40C.

Electrical engineer 2 here: All it would really take is to make simple U shape iron core that would cross two adjacent poles of magnets, so it would create complete path for magnetic flux. This compared to simple bolt shown in video will increase flux linkage tremendously. Then you would need weird bullet with ring shape that you would put over this core. It would melt pretty much instantly, probably even with the iron core since the frequency here is extremely high with so much poles.
@@ProtoMan137 That's useful only if you can disassemble to get your calipers in there. It is easier to just use the calipers on the slug than disassembling everything to measure directly.

In my childhood, if you wanted copper wire, you had to tear apart either a transformer or a motor. See, all a transformer is good for is transforming, but with copper wire you could do pretty much anything.
@@sofuckingannoyingsame. I had everything in the house torn to pieces by age 8. I loved the motors and transformers. I was 25 when I sold that accumulated wire

I took apart my older sister's Lionel train steam engine when I was about 4. It never ran again. But I had to know what was inside! I had to wait till I was old enough to read to learn where the smoke came from....
I find myself watching this again 9 months later. while watching you crank the engine over to get it started, it occurred to me what a genius invention the flywheel is... more impressive than the simple wheel itself because there's deeper theory behind a flywheel than there is a basic wheel. we understand the function of a flywheel, we understand how it works... but to be that guy who figured it out in the first place, it's impressive.
that moment someone was messing with a wheel, tried to stop it spinning and realized how difficult it was to do so, do you think he went "oh, wow, that's a battery" or did he just figure he shouldnt do that again because the effort hurt his hand?
@@thepewplace1370 Most people would have the second reaction. That 1% of people who are true inventors and innovators would go "Oh that's interesting. Can that be used to store energy?"
"We use it at the ranch to charge batteries and stuff, like, when there's no solar wind." - Cody casually mentioning his solar wind power plant on the roof.
You'd have to glue it to the flywheel - unless you put it inward, in which case, the magnetic field on the bullet would be minimal. (But it would have no problem sticking to the wheel!)
@@pokemonking9516 A Halbach array? To explain as simply as possible, the polarity of the magnets is changed as the magnets are placed so that each magnet with a pole perpendicular to the plane has a magnet next to it with the same pole oriented horizontally toward it. The next perpendicular magnet is opposite polarity. The net effect is that on one side of the array, the magnetic fields reinforce each other and become a lot stronger. On the opposite side of the plane, the magnetic fields cancel each other out, and the field is much weaker. A well built array has no significant magnetic field on one side, but a strong one on the other.
If you arranged the magnets in a halbach array, you can redirect most of the field strength to one side (say away from spin axis). Then the energy captured will be much higher.

I love the way you do experiments in your lab . You show that you do it in an honest fashion . In schools , all the problems are worked out for you . The way you show that it is necessary to think on your feet . This is closer to the reality of how experiments are done by scientists .
I thought about that when he said it, if it melts at similar temps to wax, i know from demoranch's matt that even 9mm is hot minutes later, so clearly the heat would melt it, but would it melt fast enough to be low temp flying molten metal or would it melt after a short delay? *starts molding solid fields metal bullets*
Honestly if it had a copper jacket that fully covered it it could end up being some sort of bullet that splashes hot metal everywhere whenever it hits something.
Cool! Don't forget that B fields loose intensity at rate of radius cubed. The bullet was farther away from the magnets and it is curved rather than flat like the penny. I think those factors likely had more to do with the lead not melting than the thickness of the bullet's copper shell.
Yes and the older the penny gets past a certain year it will be made up of more and more copper. I think they used to be completely made of copper but i could be wrong on that as i just dont know.
@@MilesPrower1992 The switch was actually made in 1982. But it was done in the middle of the year so 1982 cents can be of either composition and have to be weighed to know which one it is.
Placing the magnets on the iron wheel actually steals energy from the magnetic field, thereby reducing its ability to generate power. The lines of flux squash down into that metal flywheel. If you want to see a big jump in power, Wrap that flywheel with an insulator, rubber, wood, or something else non conductive, probably about 1 inch thick so the magnetic fields are away from the metal fly wheel and you will see about three times as much available power! But you'll have to glue them down! This is the kind of lab work universities charge you thousands of dollars for!😁😁😁
Something taught to me in the early days of my career was 'when hand cranking a small diesel engine, alway keep the thumb on the same side of the fingers. This is so that if the engine kicks back, the crank will pull out of your grip. If you have your thumb on the opposite side of the handle - as shown in this video - if the engine kicks back, it could break the thumb. It happens.

@@Nitrxgen it depends on the axis of the magnetic poles, ie. if the N-S axis of each magnet is parallel to the radius or orthogonal to it, meaning tangential to the flywheel. If it's the former you'd get a field change once per magnet (assuming they alternate of course) and twice with the latter.
There's a real-world application for this: Someone designed a lamp for places where electricity doesn't arrive. The lamp has an open chain that goes through some gears and you attach a weight to one of the sides which pulls it down very slowly, just like in those old cuckoo clocks. The weight does gradually fall down and this gives a spinning motion that generates electricity to power a light bulb just like in your video but using the force of gravity instead of a diesel engine. The insides are designed so there's a lot of resistance and it lasts for 4-5 hours before you have to change the weight to the other side of the chain.
When you make a coil, spin the bolt. Its easier than wrapping the wire. You hold the wire and spin the bolt, and you can make huge coils really really easy. Love the videos
Great video. It brings back memories of my Dad rebuilding original gasoline versions of Fairbanks-Morse Horizontal and Verticle engines like this from the very early 1900s. He had a relatively rare horizontal engine. ~3-3.5 HP? As not a "hit or miss" governor as most seem to be at shows. It used spinning weights to control the throttle opening on the simple carburetor. Timed points in the combustion chamber were used for the ignition spark. Via a horseshoe magnet magneto that triggered the timed spark. Dad taught me a lot about IC engines using these originals stationary models, before I went to college and studied Engineering Physics. It's amazing that Ford Flathead V-8s we're turning ~3800 RPM at 85 HP in the early 1930s. FYI.

But there is infinite space and energy in the universe. oh not that I know. That's just a conjecture.
@@holycrapski Oh, that's awesome, meaning the engine is taking carbon dioxide from air and converting it into gasoline. LOL generating gasoline from thin air.
You could probably do something “infinite” by using a crank driven flywheel that gets going using a handcrank and is maybe kept going by a small water screw style turbine, so it would generate more than the water wheel itself normally would, just me brainstorming though idk if it would work or not
@@zyanidwarfare5634 what you're hinting at would be akin to a pony motor, which would start a bigger one in case of low power from the river, as the big wheel would need more power to start than to run.
something you might want to look at is hydraulic rams, which can pump higher than regular pumps, but not constantly.
besides overcoming friction/starting a bigger wheel or getting water to a better place (like crossing a high spot) I don't think there are gains to using a secondary wheel that can't be made by just having it produce energy directly.
@@davemwangi05 incidentally, you can convert the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into gasoline. What you need is a CO2 capture plant and a hydrolysis plant to provide the raw materials for synthetic fuel, and lots of energy to power it all. Look up Carbon Engineering.

I get what you’re saying, but he didn’t quite turn a generator into a generator. He added another generating output on his motor. Like putting a second alternator on a car motor. Now if you ran an electric motor off this motors generator output, and ran another generating component on the output of that motor, you would be turning a generator into a generator.

Electrical engineer here. The Skin Effect also influences the distribution of current in a block of copper. At higher frequencies, more of the current is distributed closer to the surface. At sufficiently high frequencies, a block of copper can actually become a wall which the currents on either side will have trouble crossing. The back EMF is proportionally induced in the center of the conductor, pushing the electrons toward the edge of the conductor.
When designing circuit boards, this can lead to interesting situations where you need to place a stitching via when crossing a reference plane like ground. This allows the highest frequency currents to shift from one side of the copper pour to the other side. Without a stitching via, the currents become stray, searching desperately for some way to get to the other side of the wall. And when they do, these stray currents usually create large inductive loops that make the circuit radiate significant energy.
What's interesting here is that your setup creates 163 cycles per revolution, with 10 rev/sec that's 1.63 kHz, which is a pretty respectable frequency. There are convenient calculators for the skin effect online, because this is a challenge electrical engineers deal with regularly. At 60 Hz, the skin effect is 8.5mm in copper, which is why for AC distribution you rarely see anything much thicker than that. For 1.63 kHz, the skin effect is roughly 1.5mm. If you're too much thinner than this (the bullet's casing was about 1/4th of this), the losses are too low to do much heating.
The skin depth for lead, by the way, is about 5.6mm. A 45 caliber bullet ought to have 11.5mm diameter, right? That's about 2x the skin depth, so *if* you were going to induce significant losses in lead, that's probably a decent thickness to use.
Stronger magnets would help. Faster magnets might actually backfire, because the skin depth tends to go down by the square root of the frequency; if your skin effect losses are already too low, moving the magnets faster might produce even less heat.
Furthermore, geometry of the objects plays a large part. That's because the contours of these objects tends to be significant and on the order of the skin depth.
You could see an example of the skin depth in action by looking at the portions of the alloy that started to melt first, and which melted the most.
This is truly the most underrated comment in this section. I'm working with induction heating, not an electrical engineer btw, but just can't get my head around the skin effect, eddy currents, and the sort at the moment. Thanks for the lucid explanation.
@@RyoFax i can send you my notes lol
I also suspect a large part of the reason the penny heated up so much more is because it was positioned significantly closer (it didn't have the "holding wires" in the way, adding separation) and it had substantial surface area running parallel to the magnets (it was flat, not a rounded bullet shape). Both of these factors would induce far stronger currents in the penny than in the shell of the bullet, too...

Hey Cody, many years ago I used to run a diesel cement mixer for my dad, and he always told me NEVER to wrap my thumb around the starting handle, because if it backfires, it can break your thumb. Just cupping you’re fingers and thumb around the one side of the handle means a backfire will throw the handle out of your hand without breaking your thumb.
Yes. I was told the same thing about cranking old tractors. Could break your arm
i think codys handle has a mechanism like a ratchet wrench so it only turns one way otherwise he wouldnt be able to take the handle off and the thing would be horribly unbalanced.
Didn't break my thumb but it was pretty sore
A friend of mine was trying to crank an old tractor & it kicked back & broke his forearm then he told me that was the 3rd time that happened. At least it wasn't his thumb tho 😂😂😂
I broke my scaphoid bone in my wrist as I had my thumb wrapped around a cement mixer handle when it kicked back, after this happened everyone on site told me not to hold the handle like this,if only they had told me beforehand.
When he poured that molten metal into his hand, I was terrified.

Electrical engineer 2 here:
All it would really take is to make simple U shape iron core that would cross two adjacent poles of magnets, so it would create complete path for magnetic flux. This compared to simple bolt shown in video will increase flux linkage tremendously. Then you would need weird bullet with ring shape that you would put over this core. It would melt pretty much instantly, probably even with the iron core since the frequency here is extremely high with so much poles.

Next step: Configuring a Halbach magnet array on the fringe of the flywheel. Will be twice as strong. At least!
You'd have to glue it to the flywheel - unless you put it inward, in which case, the magnetic field on the bullet would be minimal. (But it would have no problem sticking to the wheel!)
What tf is that
@@pokemonking9516 A Halbach array?
To explain as simply as possible, the polarity of the magnets is changed as the magnets are placed so that each magnet with a pole perpendicular to the plane has a magnet next to it with the same pole oriented horizontally toward it. The next perpendicular magnet is opposite polarity.
The net effect is that on one side of the array, the magnetic fields reinforce each other and become a lot stronger. On the opposite side of the plane, the magnetic fields cancel each other out, and the field is much weaker.
A well built array has no significant magnetic field on one side, but a strong one on the other.

Magnetic bullet shot through copper coils
Cody should shoot a magnetic bullet through some copper coils.
If you arranged the magnets in a halbach array, you can redirect most of the field strength to one side (say away from spin axis). Then the energy captured will be much higher.
I wonder if you could increase the "melting power" by arranging the magnets in a Halbach array.
You'd have the array strong side out, which means the weak side would be one trying to hold it onto the wheel.... which might not work.
Maybe that would be nice to see.

I can't be the only one who wants to see what a Field's metal bullet does when fired from a gun. Maybe send some to Taofledermaus or demo ranch?
I thought about that when he said it, if it melts at similar temps to wax, i know from demoranch's matt that even 9mm is hot minutes later, so clearly the heat would melt it, but would it melt fast enough to be low temp flying molten metal or would it melt after a short delay?

Cool! Don't forget that B fields loose intensity at rate of radius cubed. The bullet was farther away from the magnets and it is curved rather than flat like the penny. I think those factors likely had more to do with the lead not melting than the thickness of the bullet's copper shell.
Note: most pennies in circulation are a thin plating of Cu over a core of Zn.

Placing the magnets on the iron wheel actually steals energy from the magnetic field, thereby reducing its ability to generate power. The lines of flux squash down into that metal flywheel. If you want to see a big jump in power, Wrap that flywheel with an insulator, rubber, wood, or something else non conductive, probably about 1 inch thick so the magnetic fields are away from the metal fly wheel and you will see about three times as much available power! But you'll have to glue them down! This is the kind of lab work universities charge you thousands of dollars for!😁😁😁

I've already watched this. I just love the title :)
Can you put a multi meter on the coil and see what the max voltage it’s making?
Could be 1000volt or 4 volt. Hard to tell
I think you need proper oscilloscope to measure this. Judging the speed of magnets going by frequency will be an issue
I think oscilloscope is better for this. Not every multimeter can read HF AC voltage.
@@Lightning666 326 oscillations. I think the DMM could handle that 😜 lol BOOM! 💥
@@Lightning666 Just use a FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!
Should've hooked up a multi-meter to get a voltage and frequency reading...
mm, he mentioned it spins at about 600 rpm (10 times a second), and there's 326 magnets so that alternates 163 times in the circle, so 1630 Hz?
@@Nitrxgen it depends on the axis of the magnetic poles, ie. if the N-S axis of each magnet is parallel to the radius or orthogonal to it, meaning tangential to the flywheel. If it's the former you'd get a field change once per magnet (assuming they alternate of course) and twice with the latter.
"Mommmmm, cody's doing bismuth in the garage again"
hahaha I came here for this comment

There's a real-world application for this: Someone designed a lamp for places where electricity doesn't arrive. The lamp has an open chain that goes through some gears and you attach a weight to one of the sides which pulls it down very slowly, just like in those old cuckoo clocks. The weight does gradually fall down and this gives a spinning motion that generates electricity to power a light bulb just like in your video but using the force of gravity instead of a diesel engine. The insides are designed so there's a lot of resistance and it lasts for 4-5 hours before you have to change the weight to the other side of the chain.
welcome to my laboratory where safety is not a priority
Safety Third!
better than the safety tie at least 😂
If you are big into safety, you may want to block Cody.
"Safety??? Shmafety!!!!"
Of course Cody is safe. He has the butter drawer of the fridge padlocked shut!
When you make a coil, spin the bolt. Its easier than wrapping the wire. You hold the wire and spin the bolt, and you can make huge coils really really easy. Love the videos
10:10 "So here's one of the silver bullets that Grant Thompson and I made" RIP
I miss his content so much. The new stuff just isn’t as good. Nate and cally aren’t doing bad, just not the same content as it was
He made an alloy in a spoon without measuring, melted it with a blowtorch, and dumped it into his hand. Knowledge is confidence...
Our Old Cody is Back in Action....
This Old Cody??
9:15 that slow motion clip looks like a train crossing at night, with a blue light instead of a red one. I think it looks really cool
It’s surprising when someone DOESNT say “neodiddlium” followed by “chooch” or “skookum”
Yeah I was having the same thought about neodiddlium
Just watch out for them angry pixies........
See what we have here is a skookum neodiddlium choocher.
what on earth does chooch or skookum mean? I have never heard of those before, neither in the context of neodymium magnets or otherwise.
@@Vaaaaadim Its an Insider joke for watchers of a very different channel. If interested look up AvE.
Great video. It brings back memories of my Dad rebuilding original gasoline versions of Fairbanks-Morse Horizontal and Verticle engines like this from the very early 1900s.
He had a relatively rare horizontal engine. ~3-3.5 HP? As not a "hit or miss" governor as most seem to be at shows. It used spinning weights to control the throttle opening on the simple carburetor. Timed points in the combustion chamber were used for the ignition spark.
Via a horseshoe magnet magneto that triggered the timed spark.
Dad taught me a lot about IC engines using these originals stationary models, before I went to college and studied Engineering Physics.
It's amazing that Ford Flathead V-8s we're turning ~3800 RPM at 85 HP in the early 1930s.
FYI. I was the usual starter for his big engines. 😎🇺🇸
Cody, can you explain why the flywheels have a "self-balancing" tendency?
And how it works, mechanically? Or where I could research that information?
Thanks, 3500
