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.
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.
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 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.
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
@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
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!!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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
I love things like this, no reason for it's existence other than the satisfaction of seeing it run ... although you do realise what you have to do next ... hide the wires through the table, add a small dynamo on it wired back and repost the video as a free engergy machine. Get people arguing over it to make enough advert money so that you can then make a full size one for a car, a V12 arrangement would look cool :D Batteries might be an issue though lol
so this could effectively work poppin out the bonnet of a tesla even if it would ultimately be aesthetic, but could you give it a function, cos it looks like the most thoughtfully designed engines ive ever seen and instead of a huge roar the coils would spit lightening right? maybe you could have a plasma vaccum chamber around it so you could see how the charge intensifies as you depress the accelerator!

I already have my doctorate from Harvard and I am revolutionizing the development of fusion rocket engines using tritium and deuterium. I am few in my field and will also cut our carbon footprint by half by 2030.
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.
If one radial slot is cut in the coil formers shown at 3:02, it would eliminate the short circuit during the rise and fall of the current in the coil. As it is the rate of change of magnetic flux will induce a circumferential current in the coil former where there is a rate of change of magnetic flux. Probably one will get a higher rpm if one does cut that slot! Very nice engine and craftsmanship with basic engineering.
@@thewisemen8504 i dont care what anyone chooses and frankly if it makes you happy and you spend your last penny exactly when you died doing what you love i say you did it right.
@@lopez9451 i wonder if his machines could do it the way car engines are done. In a car engine, the the crankshaft is made as a single piece, and the connecting rods bolt around it.
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.
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.
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.
Nice build! Look up hall effect sensors to detect the rotation angle, they're silent, non-contact, non-friction magnetic sensors, that could drive mosfet transistors and in turn the solenoids. I doubt you'll read this, but hopefully others have suggested this. Cheers!
Could also just magnetic imprint the shafts an cylinders in opposing poles or wich ever it is that makes them push each other away from each other. Etc less friction more power .
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
Bill A probably not great, about 50x the parts and those mechanical switches will be problematic quickly. The best thing about a brushless motor is the only moving part is the rotor.
@Spiderman microswitches flake after about 100k cycles. At even as low as 500RPM that's not long. That said hall effect switches and some simple analogue control circuitry would work and not wear out.
@Spiderman Exactly. Neodiddly magnets and a hall effect switch are a much better idea with a bit of signal conditioning. Only needs a simple amp (maybe a single BJT) and a FET.
Nice video, thank you. I do have however a few remarks and questions: why did you make the piston rods using a saw and a file instead of your cnc milling machine? why are they so thin? the flywheel has 5 holes in it, I bet this is for air cooling, but it does reduce the total amount of weight you mad a messing ring to which you glued a second ring (@12.58). why not make it from 1 piece? the machine has a wobble even though you machined it with high accuracy. Any idea where this comes from? I know many questions and remarks, still a great project.
I dunno about the rest but for the last question, the wobble is definitely from concentricity error between the shaft and the flywheels and especially the spacing of the holes in the flywheels relative to the center hole. The first of those two errors comes from every time he removes / inserts a new piece into the 3 jaw chuck on his lathe. The center isn't absolutely perfectly picked up every time, and depending on how precise you're trying to get it's quite an involved process involving usually a 4 jaw chuck and an indicator to measure the runout to get it within whatever your tolerance is. Speaking of runout, visually the amount of runout on the shaft looks pretty good when its spinning in the lathe but if you put an indicator at the end you'll see how much it wobbles. An easy fix would be to machine it between centers, already that would buy you a ton of extra precision. That being said I bet most of the wobble is from the hole spacing on the flywheels not being perfect. The way he made the flywheel was to drill a center hole and I'm guessing CNC the other five around it, which is accurate to however well set up your CNC is. To get them more perfectly spaced and concentric around the center hole it will be rotating around, you would probably drill the center hole, and either chuck it or put it on a mandrel with a dividing head to locate the holes the exact same distance from the center and into exactly 1/5 of the way around a circle every time (which is what the dividing head does). If you look at around 14:55 you can already see what I think is most of the wobble on that front flywheel -- you can see the holes visually wobbling.
not an engineer or any kind of expert, but my guess on the connecting rods question is that he might have been using a different material for them and couldn't cut it with the CNC. I'm not sure if he is using steel or aluminum for most of these parts, but perhaps for the rods he used either a different alloy, or a harder/stronger material altogether. Then again, maybe it's something completely different! 🤷♂️
@@austinyun Some of the wobble comes from inherent rocking couple behaviour of Boxer engines (opposite pistons cancell out most of the intertia but since they are offset a bit here is some torque left). This could be fixed by changing the order of pistons on the crankshaft (left right right left instead of left right left right). This is not done in real engines to save space and keep bore offsets equal. I stil think you are right about the flywheel being unbalanced, it seems that's where most of the vibrations come from.
Regarding the holes in the flywheel: the ideal maximizes the moment of inertia while minimizing mass (within the geometric constraints of the application). Mass that is farther from the axis produces a larger moment of inertia, so the flywheel is designed with holes near the axis to push the mass distribution toward the edges. The same principle explains why beams are usually designed to be either I-shaped or else hollow: it’s all about maximizing the moment of inertia while minimizing the mass.
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 👍👍
Lovely work mate I wish I had your courage over50 years ago, when serving my time as an apprentice electrician I had drawn up the very same plan for the electric motor car of the future my but you brought me back to way back then when I was just 18 years of age. thanks for the memories. Sean.
Incredible man you really have skills, this what makes this country the best in the World, and thank you for not playing stupid loud music the best sound is the one the tools make.
People like you should be treasured. Instead this rotten society reward punks and degenerated. "The greatest astonishment of my life was the discovery that the man who does the work is not the man who gets rich” -- Andrew Carnegie Keep up the good work and inspire more people.
I have a subaru with the boxer engine 4 cylinder and its very smooth though doesn't idle so smooth. I've heard the 6 cylinders do idle smooth, however. The width of the engine forces them to have a short stroke which produces good hp, but lacking in torque, or so I've read.
Amateur is derived from amare (the Latin for love) and denotes a person who is doing what they do for the love of it. E.G. The Olympic ideal was amateur sports I think Maker B is a craftsman and an amateur and should be proud of being both
Thanks to you so very much for taking the time to film the making. But please before making any more films of anything, get your hands dirty, my wife saw how clean your hands and nails were that that’s all I heard for about a month. I’m almost 62 and when I’m building a project the last thing I have time to do is wash my hands,,,,lol,,,,see I’m retired now and don’t do much but visit friends in hospitals it seems. Again thanks for the video you done a REALLY GREAT JOB .

As a computer engineer I feel like an imposter amongst anything mechanical. This is marvelous ⭐
when the computer engineer is sus
Hahaha, I know right? Beautiful work.
amogus imposser sus 🤣🤣🤣
Imposter????? Amongst?????
That's an amazing talent !! Thought process and ability to mentally visualize the components is commendable.
my son really enjoyed it he even shared it with his class
20 minutes? Your son wasted 20 minutes of classtime because he liked a video?
Dude
If one radial slot is cut in the coil formers shown at 3:02, it would eliminate the short circuit during the rise and fall of the current in the coil. As it is the rate of change of magnetic flux will induce a circumferential current in the coil former where there is a rate of change of magnetic flux. Probably one will get a higher rpm if one does cut that slot!
Very nice engine and craftsmanship with basic engineering.
Genius at work. Works like a real engine.
Well done, nice to see all the machining and assembly. Then a working model! Good job!
Thank you :)
Ah yes, the youtube algorithm at 3am
Kkkk yes

Honestly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen someone build.
I am speechless !!! I just watched it all without skipping anything ! Kudos !
I don't even know why I ended up watching this but it is superb craftsmanship!! Well done mate!
Wow. This is amazing!! The amount of skill, patience and effort is incredible!!!
Thank you!!

Have you never taken a shop class dude? Seriously thats sad
@@SerTomKatze Dude have you ever taken Medicine class ? No?
Oh well thats Extremely Sad.

See thumbnail: Hmm,maybe I could do this...
5 seconds in the video: *nevermind*
Lol good one!
Same here 😂😂😂
Jaja
And when u see it spin you realize that its not uniform despite the fact of making all pieces with expensive acuratte machines so whats the point
@@lopez9451 i wonder if his machines could do it the way car engines are done. In a car engine, the the crankshaft is made as a single piece, and the connecting rods bolt around it.
You will need a lot a materials e tools that we don’t have on a daily basis!
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!!!😀

it's a pleasure to see you at work
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.
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.
Using limit switches to time the energizing of the coils is brilliant!! I really enjoyed watching this work.
I would buy this for my desk and start it here and there, just to enjoy a little bit of craftmanship whenever I feel the urge to procrastinate!
Full entertainment for curious ppl .. such a pleasure watching this video.
Thank you
Make a kit for us, would love to put together it with my kids!
Yess, keep after him to do that, Please.
agreed!

+1, and I'd pay more for a Boxer 6, just like I did in real life 🤣
Soooo cool. I love how perfect everything is milled, and how smooth the motor ran. I would love to do a scale RC around this motor.
i think a sacle rc with that would be awesome i dont know if it has the power to move an rc tho
@@ahh5516 i think with tge right pinion and spur gear it could work.
it doesnt have enough power to actually move something
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.
Mechanical engineering is always great.I remember my days working as an engineer.Now time has gone by.I like this solenoid engine making.
Not just mechanical engineering. Electrical Engineering also.
@@GeneralPadron yes.of course.
Nice build! Look up hall effect sensors to detect the rotation angle, they're silent, non-contact, non-friction magnetic sensors, that could drive mosfet transistors and in turn the solenoids.
I doubt you'll read this, but hopefully others have suggested this. Cheers!
Could also just magnetic imprint the shafts an cylinders in opposing poles or wich ever it is that makes them push each other away from each other. Etc less friction more power .
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
Que lujo crear y transformar los metales 😮 me encanta este tipo de contenido que nos desarrollan ideas 👏👏👏
Never seen an engine like this run by solenoid switches? Unique!
Fascinating indeed... first time for me too. So now the question is, how efficient is this engine compared to a modern brushless motor? Hmmm...
@@BillAnt ua-cam.com/video/xP_3n48fogs/v-deo.html
Just noticed this video. Seems like it's run same way.
Bill A probably not great, about 50x the parts and those mechanical switches will be problematic quickly.
The best thing about a brushless motor is the only moving part is the rotor.
@Spiderman microswitches flake after about 100k cycles. At even as low as 500RPM that's not long. That said hall effect switches and some simple analogue control circuitry would work and not wear out.
@Spiderman Exactly. Neodiddly magnets and a hall effect switch are a much better idea with a bit of signal conditioning. Only needs a simple amp (maybe a single BJT) and a FET.
This brings back so many memories of working on my old Subaru Legacy and its Boxer Engine
Smiling to the end, just brilliant. Tools does not perform the job without knowledge.. AND YOU show you have it. Thanks and congratulations
Mind-blowing, wonderful, how intelligent is the maker of this small engine - he is worthy of high appreciation.
No royalty Free music is a definite like.
You are not an engineer, you are an artist...
Epic work that deserves millions of likes.
Nice video, thank you. I do have however a few remarks and questions:
why did you make the piston rods using a saw and a file instead of your cnc milling machine?
why are they so thin?
the flywheel has 5 holes in it, I bet this is for air cooling, but it does reduce the total amount of weight
you mad a messing ring to which you glued a second ring (@12.58). why not make it from 1 piece?
the machine has a wobble even though you machined it with high accuracy. Any idea where this comes from?
I know many questions and remarks, still a great project.
I dunno about the rest but for the last question, the wobble is definitely from concentricity error between the shaft and the flywheels and especially the spacing of the holes in the flywheels relative to the center hole. The first of those two errors comes from every time he removes / inserts a new piece into the 3 jaw chuck on his lathe. The center isn't absolutely perfectly picked up every time, and depending on how precise you're trying to get it's quite an involved process involving usually a 4 jaw chuck and an indicator to measure the runout to get it within whatever your tolerance is. Speaking of runout, visually the amount of runout on the shaft looks pretty good when its spinning in the lathe but if you put an indicator at the end you'll see how much it wobbles. An easy fix would be to machine it between centers, already that would buy you a ton of extra precision.
That being said I bet most of the wobble is from the hole spacing on the flywheels not being perfect. The way he made the flywheel was to drill a center hole and I'm guessing CNC the other five around it, which is accurate to however well set up your CNC is. To get them more perfectly spaced and concentric around the center hole it will be rotating around, you would probably drill the center hole, and either chuck it or put it on a mandrel with a dividing head to locate the holes the exact same distance from the center and into exactly 1/5 of the way around a circle every time (which is what the dividing head does). If you look at around 14:55 you can already see what I think is most of the wobble on that front flywheel -- you can see the holes visually wobbling.
not an engineer or any kind of expert, but my guess on the connecting rods question is that he might have been using a different material for them and couldn't cut it with the CNC. I'm not sure if he is using steel or aluminum for most of these parts, but perhaps for the rods he used either a different alloy, or a harder/stronger material altogether.
Then again, maybe it's something completely different! 🤷♂️
@@austinyun Some of the wobble comes from inherent rocking couple behaviour of Boxer engines (opposite pistons cancell out most of the intertia but since they are offset a bit here is some torque left). This could be fixed by changing the order of pistons on the crankshaft (left right right left instead of left right left right). This is not done in real engines to save space and keep bore offsets equal.
I stil think you are right about the flywheel being unbalanced, it seems that's where most of the vibrations come from.
Regarding the holes in the flywheel: the ideal maximizes the moment of inertia while minimizing mass (within the geometric constraints of the application). Mass that is farther from the axis produces a larger moment of inertia, so the flywheel is designed with holes near the axis to push the mass distribution toward the edges. The same principle explains why beams are usually designed to be either I-shaped or else hollow: it’s all about maximizing the moment of inertia while minimizing the mass.
One word: Mind-Blowing
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 👍👍
I feel like this should power an RC car or something
Lovely work mate I wish I had your courage over50 years ago, when serving my time as an apprentice electrician I had drawn up the very same plan for the electric motor car of the future my but you brought me back to way back then when I was just 18 years of age. thanks for the memories. Sean.
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
Incredible man you really have skills, this what makes this country the best in the World, and thank you for not playing stupid loud music the best sound is the one the tools make.

Keep up the good work and inspire more people.
Thanks for the kind words!!!
I like the way it proves the concept of opposing pistons creates less vibrations than conventional piston arrangements. Nice job bro, keep it up.
I have a subaru with the boxer engine 4 cylinder and its very smooth though doesn't idle so smooth. I've heard the 6 cylinders do idle smooth, however. The width of the engine forces them to have a short stroke which produces good hp, but lacking in torque, or so I've read.
It’s official now; you’ve have passed the stage of amateur....... A true craftsman. Well done!
Amateur is derived from amare (the Latin for love) and denotes a person who is doing what they do for the love of it. E.G. The Olympic ideal was amateur sports I think Maker B is a craftsman and an amateur and should be proud of being both
Thanks to you so very much for taking the time to film the making. But please before making any more films of anything, get your hands dirty, my wife saw how clean your hands and nails were that that’s all I heard for about a month. I’m almost 62 and when I’m building a project the last thing I have time to do is wash my hands,,,,lol,,,,see I’m retired now and don’t do much but visit friends in hospitals it seems. Again thanks for the video you done a REALLY GREAT JOB .
Chuck Hembree truly its the great work I have seen
Chuck Hembree good health to you
This is really mind blowing !!
