No stupid soundtrack, just the real sounds! Perfect skills, perfect tools, perfect work! Perfect video!
Agree
Yeah its usually the really fkn annoying ukulele or epileptic fit techno
Couldn't have worded that better
Agree x infinty
Lame. Usually I break out my glow sticks while watching these... 😁
These are the best type of videos, no commentary, no music, just all observation.
@Joe Dirt yep
I cannot understand why they put the exact same nightcore song in all machining videos, they're so much better when it's just this simple.
.
Sound effects...
Agree
This is why I watch UA-cam: to watch people do amazing things with tools I cannot afford.
I literally NEVER comment on UA-cam videos or really even read the comments. But this right here, is the truest of all things i've ever read on the internet.
In my case it would be 'amazing things with tools I can afford, and with talent I don't have'.
O-kay, so this isn’t the LEGO version or made of parts from the hardware store. No. This is real craftsmanship. And very enjoyable to watch. 👍
Who tf cares if it’s Lego or made of hardware store parts. It would still be a functioning engine.
@@billiam_bob i think ur missing his point
I mean, while the craftsmanship here IS very impressive, I think most people that use LEGOs or hardware store parts do so because they don't have access to this kind of expensive precision machinery. It's more than a question of craftsmanship alone
@@Sven-kc7rq no, I think your missing the point. It doesn't matter if you 3d print, if you use Legos, if you use expensive machines or hardware store supplies. If you make something such as a model engine, then it's craftsmanship. Simple as that.
@@scarecrow5848 you missed the point. This is quality and functional.
- No flashy BS thumbnail or clickbaity title
- No annoying and pointless intro/outro blather
- No annoying and pointless music, just pure manufacturing sounds
- No pointless and distracting captions
- Pure making, making, making right from the start
- Perfect camera work, allowing the viewer to follow along
- A simple "thank you for watching" at the end. No "please like, please comment, please subscribe, please buy this, please let me annoy you with my other videos" etc.
Thank you ever so much for making this dump called UA-cam a better place!
Giorgos S The only thing I would like is an explanation of the process because I don’t know anything about engineering
He even cuts out the time consuming parts of things like winding every coil, drilling every hole, etc.
@@survivor8008 удачи вам ваших творческих дерзаниях.
My thoughts exactly. It’s about the process not the person! Though I’m sure the person behind Maker B is cool :)
The only people I care to hear talking over awesome stuff like this are AvE and TOT!
As a retired manufacturing engineer and programming with APT in in the early stages of machine programming I must say that your video was a pleasure to watch and your little engine that could was AWSOME.
Absolute precision engineering. Love the diagrams of the parts you are creating. Excellent touch. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Easy to follow, precise. This is the kind of content that you don't just skip through.
This video made my day. Me and 8 months old boy were watching this video without blinking and were enjoying all the precision machining, tools used and the lustrous metal pieces. The final outcome was just WHOA!!!!
I was enjoying it with my embryo.
@@custardtart1312 i was enjoying it all alone in the darkness
Thank you for sharing, I can't stop admiring your work. When I was in engineering school we made engines plain parts, but were big jobs, your work has more meaning because of the size, precision and detail. All the best from the distance, Montevideo-Uruguay. Be safe and have a good day.
The whole point is the process of making an interesting device, and that is fantastic.
But the very best part of these videos is the sharp and just-right editing.
Very cool to watch.
I especially loved the genius idea of the off-center crankshaft sections serving as cams, each closing microswitches for the pistons' timing.
I do see some runout in the working motor, rather unexpected given the precise tools used to make it.
The precision in making the parts is truly a "next level" skill, let alone the engine is working!
This is beyond what 'brilliant' could describe!
Had i not being speechless, i would have said (at least) WOW.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing proof of 'craftsmanship will never die'.
Honestly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen someone build.
Mind-blowing, wonderful, how intelligent is the maker of this small engine - he is worthy of high appreciation.
Kind of amazing how you got the timing correct. Most solenoids and coils have some variance, even amongst the same brand setup. Excellent work!!
For some reason, I just really appreciate the audio on this. So soothing. The whole build was excellent.
Watching you come up with these things I am left with a sense of awe and relaxation all at the same time.
(1st video I watched was the cylindrical safe this is my 2nd. Can't wait for the rest of them...lol)
You don't show too much and you don't show too little.
And the sounds of the machines are just enough of a sample to give us the idea of the energy involved.
You are highly skilled and much appreciated.
AWE by definition, you are challenging my understanding of the world
That's quite a compliment! Glad you enjoyed it.
I've nothing to do with this stuff, still I watched this full video. I think you're amazed when you see these mech things working together! Good work..
I love how you have the part/ assembly ISO in the top corner, thats a nice touch
16:32 wallpaper-esque
I didn't even notice the little blueprints in the top right corner until reading this comment.
A work of art... Utra quiet too. If I saw videos like this when I was a kid I would not have flunked metal workshop. Truly inspirational.
This is extremely satisfying.
Thank you for making an actual boxer engine and not a wrongly named flat 4, One of my favourite engine configurations, smooth running.
Glad you liked it!
Very good video. Exactly what we learned in Manufacturing Engineering Technician Program. I will explore more in this field. Thanks.
That was truly special.
Excellent video!! The concept, craftsmanship, and engineering is impressive.
This just made me truly appreciate my Tech Ed course I’m taking. Thank you so much for posting this little marvel!
1 day when I'm all grown up i wanna be like you...i'm 43 years old though. Dude this blew my mind. YOU ARE A GENIUS.
I even have the tools to do this, but i never feel the motavation to try
@@obiwankenobi2749 at least you know to fight with a lightsaber.
You're amazing, my son does this job in an industry, where he starts with CAD drawing and works on numerically control machines and does prototypes and experimentation in a team of 4 people.
I am speechless !!! I just watched it all without skipping anything ! Kudos !
The skill of this man is incredible,i understand that he uses a great machine for to realize all,(alpha numeric control machine ?), but.....without a clear image in mind on what to do and a great manual skill nothing of that is possible.....congratulations man.
Well done, nice to see all the machining and assembly. Then a working model! Good job!
Thank you :)
I've only just found your channel. Congratulations. That is amazing work.
Outstanding! Makes me wish I still had my South Bend lathe and Bridgeport mills. Nice work.
Skills well documented... I couldn't stop watching!
Impressive knowledge of mechanized parts over a late... remember me when I was at high school technical. Thanks for sharing!!
Wow. This is amazing!! The amount of skill, patience and effort is incredible!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you for listing the awesome tools that you used !
No wonder this Video deserved 18 Million view. This is mechanical craftsmanship at its best.
ものづくりって凄いなーって思った 日々の機械や道具に感謝 職人さんに感謝と尊敬を
Although I tried making a 4 cylinder electric motor with solenoids like this back in the 70s when I was in junior high school, I only got it to run a few seconds. I wish I'd had a metal lathe, a milling machine & the other tools you used to fabricate all the parts. All I had was metal brackets I could scrounge up along with parts from an 8-Track player & probably some erector set parts. It's been so many years ago, I can't remember what all I used. At the time I wondered & still do wonder how a motor like this would compare to a typical motor when it comes to efficiency & power output. This is an excellent video, Maker B.
@Mason Gilbert All true and accurate. Thank you.
Ehh, I like this better. It's got major novelty appeal. If I want something that DOES something, I'll just buy it, pre-done..
@Mason Gilbert I too was curious as to the efficiency of this design, the discharge over time of a battery, etc... Though, I kinda totally figured this to be the case.
Super-cool little widget, though! It would make for a very interesting RC model motor, or just a super-cool paperweight. :D
AGREED 110%
Mason Gilbert I lost it at the joke LMAO
@Mason Gilbert I too appreciate you explaining why this is not efficient. As I have lots time on my hands I don't want to waste it inefficiently. Now I can think of something solenoids CAN DO more efficiently than other machines.thanks
This is more beautiful than anything I could ever hope to make....
Good way to continue on 2021.
Simplest of concepts put to work in a neat and clean way love it
I have absolutely no intention of making anything like this, yet it was extremely enjoyable to watch!
Fabulous work, well done!
That's an amazing talent !! Thought process and ability to mentally visualize the components is commendable.
I loved this video! Spectacular manufacturing, final product was amazing. I apologize if this question has already been answered elsewhere, but I'm curious if you calculated the power output vs input efficiency, what that was, and if you calculated how much torque was being produced at the output shaft and how much that was. I'm asking because I am curious how it would scale up to be used in electric vehicles and other applications. Thanks for producing such amazing content!!
Informative. Useful. Calming. Inspiring. Life-changing. Enjoyable. Heart-warming. Other.
I love how clean and well cared for your shop/tools are!
But this don't reply to his fingernail... gross
@@velinshishkov384 what do you I don’t see anything wrong with his finger
I'm a Machinists for 26 yrs, so this was an addicting build. Came out beautiful man! Build yourself a small steam engine those are fun to make.
it's a pleasure to see you at work
Facinante trabajo de maquinado e ingeniería.
Mi sincero reconocimiento y admiración.
This is one of the coolest video ever seen in my life, well done !
2:30 I would have used the lathe on a slow setting to wind the wire and have it in neat rows with the sire perfectly side-by-side. I think it would look better. Thank you for another mesmerizing video.
Yes, as a musician, I would have liked the winding to be like a pickup.
Mind-blowing, wonderful invention, efforts made are appreciable.
so many amusing videos to watch during the lock down . thanks
I like the small pics in the corner which shows the parts he is making at this moment
Untill you mentioned them I hadent even noticed them, some much was my view glues to the centre, great show!
Good eyes man👍
This brings back so many memories of working on my old Subaru Legacy and its Boxer Engine
You should not thank us for watching. We should thank you for making this
Great lighting too. Nice and clear! Well done!
I don't even know why I ended up watching this but it is superb craftsmanship!! Well done mate!
Using limit switches to time the energizing of the coils is brilliant!! I really enjoyed watching this work.
You are definitely super natural ! You must be a very young person because of the appearance of your hands. I just started watching your videos and also, your machines dont look like very expensive . Amazing quality and workmanship.
Genius at work. Works like a real engine.
Man, what a genius machinist, master craftsman, and engineer.
No doubt!
I have watch many videos on youtube, but I must say, I watch this to the end, it was so good to see, this it made me wish I had the money to buy the tools to make somethings like, not to forget the ability. love your video
That was awesome, nothing better then watching someone else doing a great job.
Love the cutting edge grinding/cutting machine!👌👌
Hey My Friend,
I have to tell you that me, being an Electrician, mechanic, and Electrical Engineer for 40 years, You my friend are very talented!!! I believe it's a gift from God. You either have it, or you don't. (like musicians). You really have it and you have the skills to make the world a better place!!!
Amazing!!! My hat comes off for you!! Keep up the good work and God Bless YOU!!!
Thank you for the kind word!!!
I always told my kids when they were growing up "Be grateful for your talents, and be proud of your skills.
You know it is pretty neat it even has a boxer rumble sound.
Hats off to you mate, your skill in micro engineering is beyond amazing....
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow... I think that says it all. Great work bro, it's rare you see a video where all the comments are positive ones. That pretty much speaks for itself. Bravo.
Ah yes, the youtube algorithm at 3am
Kkkk yes

I wish this was availlable as a kit. I can't make it because of a lack of space and machinery to put in that space. Very nicely done, keep enjoying your hobby.
This was awesome to watch and relaxing
Thank god there was no music.
The video is very instructive. Loved every minute of it. What would make it complete is an explanation of how you managed to program the sequence of the solenoids. That is critical to the proper fiction of the engine. Thank you
wondered what you were going to do for timing, figured it would be arduino or something, but making the crank eccentric and using microswitches is brilliant. Very well done that.
It would have been interesting with an arduino. I suppose the arduino would need a way of knowing the crankshaft position, adding a bit more complexity.
Of course I don't know how that works for you, but if I stand behind a lathe or planerbench where a lot of oil is needed, I get a lot of calluses on my hands and my nails look slightly different than the ones shown in this vid. I don't see both "defects" on your hands .... explain 😂 ?! But I must admit that this is a piece of work. Thanks for sharing this with me 👍👍
Wow! Incredibly clever guy! Thanks for making me feel hopelessly inadequate. Great skills sir.. bravo
This is like watching Bob Ross paint.
You are an artist, keep up the good work!
Thank you for displaying the part that you were working on in the top right hand corner. Very nice work. I started one of these today.
un ABSOLUTAMENTE impresionante artesano, creador, electrico y mecanico... es una verdadera obra el motor que ha logrado...
Si, la verdad se ve que es un rectificador de motores con mucho tiempo extra. Un artesano con mucha manualidad fina. Pero el motor que propone no tiene ninguna aplicación útil, solo es eso, una artesanía cara y que pocos pueden hacer, sobre todo por el tiempo y el tipo de herramientas que se necesitan para hacerla.
Aparte de no tener utilidad práctica, tiene muchos problemas si se necesitase utilizar para algo. Desgastes en muchos puntos, los switchs dejarían de funcionar en poco tiempo, sin contar el rozamiento de las bieletas, etc.
Pero algo lindo de ver contruir.

@@jorgegalvan895 no usa escobillas, no precisa de imanes permanentes, funciona con DC, fácil de controlar y sencillo de armar y mantener ya que su estator es tremendamente fácil de embobinar. Tiene muchas ventajas respecto a un motor DC común
Absolutely phenominal!
Great job, and thank you for the idea! I will go and attempt this now with my sawzall! Lol!
God bless.
Obwohl ich in den 70er Jahren, als ich in der Junior High School war, versucht habe, einen 4-Zylinder-Elektromotor mit Magnetspulen wie diesem zu bauen, habe ich ihn nur ein paar Sekunden zum Laufen gebracht. Ich wünschte, ich hätte eine Metalldrehmaschine, eine Fräsmaschine und die anderen Werkzeuge, mit denen Sie alle Teile hergestellt haben. Alles, was ich hatte, waren Metallklammern, die ich zusammen mit Teilen von einem 8-Spur-Player und wahrscheinlich einigen Erector-Set-Teilen zusammenkratzen konnte. Es ist so viele Jahre her, ich kann mich nicht erinnern, was ich alles benutzt habe. Zu der Zeit fragte ich mich und frage mich immer noch, wie ein Motor wie dieser in Bezug auf Effizienz und Leistung im Vergleich zu einem typischen Motor wäre. Dies ist ein ausgezeichnetes Video, Maker B
waking up at 4am wondering whats next in life, and then seeing this. definitely an inspiration. I love making things but have never used a lathe mill like this, i am not sure what the name of the machine is you used but it was exciting watching you build that motor.
Thank you for your kind words!!
Have a great day!!!😀

Hi, You are a Genious, Amazing! Congrats from France. Best.
Absolutely brilliant,great piece of engineering,well done, subbed
I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love this thank you
this is so satisfying to watch. Thank you for the epic video.
Great video! You make it look SO easy. Having a complete machine shop is only half the battle. Your skills are amazing. If you were in my high school machine shop class the instructor would be amazed....he would be wondering what you are doing in his class....instead of making great YT videos...errrr....youtube didn't exist when I was in high school 😂
Great build mate. Very enjoyable to watch. Would love to see you test the torque of this engine. Subscribed.
Definitely
It's really cool to watch this.
Kinda looks a lot like how my RC parts would be made.
The fuck rc cars dont run off of 4 cylinder solenoid engines
One of the best videos I have ever seen around here, on youtube.
Thanks
Single most amazing thing I've seen in quite a while.
I spent 20 minutes watching this in fascination... and I was sober.
you've got some engineer in ya
Imagine how cool it would have been other wise
Just realized I did the same thing tho it felt like only 5 minutes went by
What an absolutely gorgeous piece of "OCD" engineering!
Thank you for sharing, amazing work!
