How to make a Solenoid Engine

Love how you show the fails, allows watchers to learn.

I really like how you show initial trials when things don't work out, rather than editing them out to make it look like everything works perfect on the first go. All engineers know this is where the learning happens!!

I'm a new subscriber and I love your channel. I really appreciate that you leave in the times you mess up. Those bumps in the road are what keep people from doing these kinds of projects, and you showing us that they don't always work right on the first attempt is really nice. Thanks for the upload!

Man, you're so passionate about your stuff that we can feel it too. When you made it worked, I was as excited as you I think. Great work, you've gained a subscriber.

I don't know how you don't have 2 Million subscribers Good vid bro

Very cool video :) Only recommendation I would give would be to add a diode across your solenoid to prevent destruction of your switching transistor. The fly-back on large inductors like those can quickly kill transistors as the high-voltage spike after the magnetic field collapse has to be absorbed. Adding an external diode across the solenoid will clamp down on this preventing the eventual failure that can occur with transistors in these types of loads. Besides the small nit-pick, very cool video. I look forward to seeing more of your content.

Outstanding!!! I really like your work and shop practices, top notch. I'd work with you anytime. If I may offer a suggestion, I have quite a bit of experience making and winding coil springs and have used drills, motors, hand wound and lathes to do so. I have found that in all cases running your wire stock sandwiched between a firmly anchored clamp and piece of wood (mounted to in this case the bed of the lathe) will make your windings on your solenoid tighter, neater, more evenly spaced and give a truly professional appearance. I understand that the coil is not a spring, but the principal and practice are the same. All the best, and look forward to more videos.

I tried to make this in my dads workshop, and it didn't work, but then i realized that i didn't connect some pieces together (rookie mistake) and my dad helped me to fix it and now it works! Thanks

Wow, I didn’t even know you could make an electric motor this way. Really awesome.

My favorite parts of your videos are you showing your screw ups and problem solving. It didn't work correctly the first time you powered the solenoid engine but instead of editing out the content you added it. Kudos! Also I found it really cool that you could cause acceleration by applying slightly more pressure on the adjustable copper wire.

Just found this channel and this man deserves more subs

A good build and well explained. I will be checking out other projects of yours. Thank you for the presentation.

Amazing video, you're absolutely one of the most intelligent people I've ever seen. You're quite impressive, keep up the great content! The only change I would suggest is explaining why things work. I've never studied engineering, so I have no idea why or how covering a bobbin with copper wire and leaving a little at one end pulls a rod through the bobbin when a current is added. Great video though, but now I have to go do more research! Peace ✌🏻🤙🏻

Boy this is amazing. You're great in what you do, and I really like this kind of content. Keep up ;)

man thats a small shop but i gotta say,you've done some nice building in there.good job comrad!

Wow this channel is awesome! I love your projects, keep it up!

You bring up a really good learning show. Thank you.

Love the enthusiasm. Sweet video, my friend.

omg this is amazing, i was searching somewhere to learn about this topic. now i understnd a bit. thank you man, you are a legend :D

Understood the alternating current cause dynamically shift ,very good tutorial
