8 Cylinder Radial Solenoid Engine

[@TheAladnany]

I think that was the beginning of electric machines but such models have really great amount of vibration and instability for which modern machines come to exist for eliminating such undesirable aspects. Great job for students and labs.

Student : How does it switch the coils on and off? Lecturer : It's commutated. Student : I know, but could you teach me?

[@carlh.8797]

Looks pretty awesome, the next step is vibration control.

[@potatoraider7320]

imagine 16 cylinders.... wow! so much wow!

[@V.Gandhi]

Awesome Work There... Loved It.

[@alphahelix91]

Good work.The interior mechanics looks very perfect. The piston could possibly be improved mechanically from the efficiency as already written above. e.g. in which one sits on the well-sunk outer ram a narrow spindle with 2 springs and in the middle of a displaceable super-magnet sets, but has exactly the diameter of the piston plunger. So an idealized momentum balance magnet mounted on a double spring spindle. experimentally could be a magnetic spindle unscrew on the outer ram also outside. with movement in an extended magnetic Pipe. Almost as improved phase regulator and additional force and coupling amplifier. With an oscillating power magnet on a double spring spindle, the magnetic flux in both directions could be perhaps perfect compen- sated and regulated.

good job I want to make one like this can you give me the specification of this magic machine (wire type, size, length, ....etc) thanks Goodluck.

[@sharukumar404]

how much input current supply did u use

[@johnmichaelvoss6194]

Fantastic. Compared to the engines of that other guy who uses big blocks of metal and grinds them down to an itty bitty part in the middle using computerized machines, this stuff here is sheer HOME DEPOT level and also works. Well, sort of. It works on a table but I don't quite see how you can transplant it into any sort of vehicle. Looking and listening for a while I want to come back to the world of ball bearings, micro precision and vibration free humming at super hi revs...

[@uniqko]

Cool project

[@russellbitse2]

nice it bring's me ideas the mocion of the piston could be attatched to magnets and moved in and out of larger coils generating large volts

[@chapelao2006]

congratulations on your engine, I'm also building one, it's been a year and I haven't finished it yet. I am also making the parts in machined aluminum, my engine will be a v12, there is already a video of it there on the you tube of the crankshaft assembled.

[@AdityaMehendale]

Doesn't the copper tubing at 1:18 lead to large (unnecessary) eddy-current losses in the coils?

[@jamesandonian7829]

Aditya Mehendale actually, all the "magnetism" is gathered at the tube rather than the whole coil. otherwise, the whole coil itself would be magnet.. instead it is focused to the tube

[@AdityaMehendale]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way. The flux-lines created by the changing magnetic-field created as the coils get switched on and off must (in the current state) pass through the copper-tube that is used as a former to wind the coils. Every time there is this change, an EMF shall be induced within the copper tube, causing a current along the walls of the tube, thereby heating the tube. This is what I mean by "eddy current losses". If, instead of a copper tube, a ceramic or glass tube were used as the former, this loss could be avoided.

[@jamesandonian7829]

You're right

[@BenjaminEsposti]

Yeah, the solenoid engines really aren't all that useful, especially since they (in real world applications) would require some sort of lubrication at the connecting-rod ends.

[@daviddavids2884]

no. some eddy current may be present in brass tube as the magnetic field expands and collapses. but, neither the tube nor the magnetic field is moving. so, no drag results cheers

[@visweswararaochavali668]

looking very nice and neat.how did yo manage the firing sequence?using electronic circuits?pilease reply.

[@punman5392]

There seems to be a lot of vibration. The counterweight might need to be adjusted

[@TylerTimoJ]

oh yeah, the counterweight is made of aluminum. I wouldn't even call it a counterweight. it actually vibrates far more than shown, as I was holding it down while recording. I am currently making a video showing off my new radial solenoid engine that's better in every way. I should have it up Saturday.

[@lamont549]

Really well done, that's quite beautiful. Did you close the loop on whatever you're using to fire the solenoids or are you just gradually increasing the speed based on the first few trials?

[@V.Gandhi]

Got Same Question..

[@TylerTimoJ]

+lamont lucas I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Hopefully this video can answer your question. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYTTq6Nqhb5moac

[@mayhemmike1789]

looks torquey

[@elxero2189]

I don't know what but this is so comical to me..I loved it is it efficient?

[@HermitagePrepper]

Can and even number of cylinders be achieved using a combustion radial engine?

[@TylerTimoJ]

Sure you can do it, but because there’s 4 strokes for a combustion engine it won’t be balanced. These solenoids only pull on the “pistons” and they do it on each revolution, so you can have an even number.

[@avinashrana28]

How to set the timing can u tell the procedure of that

[@alexandercane7332]

Great for butter churning?

[@hajascomputer]

How many rounds will a coil? どのように多くのラウンドコイルだろうか？

[@TylerTimoJ]

There's about 1500 windings per coil.

[@madhumadhusoodhanam1443]

thanks

[@amrutheshk6442]

what's the material the coils were wound on? was it a metal pipe?

[@thejafuu5001]

looks like copper. but I saw comment that it isn't good idea to use copper tubes, since it results to loss in current.

[@pierre5325]

Have you plans for sale Sir? this is quite wonderful I say. pierre from New Mexico I have subscibed.

[@TylerTimoJ]

+pierre5325 sorry, I do not have plans to sell this.

[@pierre5325]

What If I offer my 1st. born child, and a years supply of your favorite Beverage? Oh well, thanks any way.

[@jimgurucactus]

Do you control the solenoids from some external driver or are you using a commutator on the back side we can't see?

[@TylerTimoJ]

There's an array of toggle switches that get pressed down by a washer with a notch cut into it. I'll make a video about it soon.

[@jimgurucactus]

I'll look forward to it. ^_^

[@parthsagar5732]

how can I contact you for taking guidance of switching and connection

[@rimvydasvenckus8929]

how much HP

[@WillemExist]

Did you measure the efficiency of the engine?

[@ghostxop2101]

Incredibly low i would imagine, i mean 40's maybe even 30's. If he is activating the coils during the up stroke to pull, hes wasting a little less than 50% of his electricity on pulling a magnet when its not even near the highest point of the magnetic field

[@luischaves5128]

Muy ingenioso👌

[@tombmaster972]

next video: 8 cylinder rotary solenoid engine

[@hugo3202]

Great

[@onatgencer6849]

can it moce a cycle

[@hellosumato]

Wat

[@theq4602]

wheres the master rod? If it doesn't have one it won't run as fast.

[@ggdietrick6912]

What is the FPS

[@TheGrayWolf81]

I think you mean the RPM.

[@TaigiTWeseDiplomat--Formosan]

Is it practical? Why not just using a normal motor and can it be called an engine or it just looks like an engine?

[@TylerTimoJ]

Not practical at all. It just looks like an engine.

[@zacsiauchan201]

in old aeroplanes, how the engineers dealt with this excentricity? This is a hell of a vibration...

[@TylerTimoJ]

There shouldn't be any vibration. I didn't balance it very well.

[@Herbsy420]

The point of the radial combustion engine was to eleminate vibration. Logicall because the motion of the piston is in balance on the other side, so it kept balanced :)

[@zacsiauchan201]

Thank you for the reply and explanation. I've thought that the point of the radial engine is rather the amount of power it can make out than it's low vibration.

[@indranilghosh3635]

Odd number of cylinders should be used ,it decreases vibrationd

[@alangodin2090]

This looks incredibly odd to me considering a real radial engine could only ever have an odd amount of cylinders (unless it was a 2 stroke of course)

[@Каналкиборг]

Круто!

[@e.d9162]

Pito

[@jhafanador69]

probably couldve benefited from a flywheel

[@anujalodhi1980]

anuj

[@ryanb1874]

It reminds me of the aliens in sesame street Meh, Meh, meh. Meh, me mhmhmhmhmhhmhmh

[@СергейСкрынник-э3ъ]

Radial engine must have number of cylinders NOT equal 2ⁿ. Now you know that.

[@rickyricardo2006]

That is irrelevant here. Since there is no firing sequence happening.

[@xishootstuffx]

There is a firing sequence, there's just no "dead" strokes to throw it off.

[@omertarkozdemir2091]

Wankel car owners like this ! :)

[@russg1801]

What would be the point of this? An electric motor would turn current into torque far more efficiently!

[@debayanbasu8964]

NVH level isn't that good

[@Achromatic_Ghost]

This looks dangerous to touch.

[@jorjeflores9845]

Tegnologia vieja inventen algo mejor

[@merxellus1456]

Probably fake. As in Theres a Motor underneath the table

[@TylerTimoJ]

Haha not fake fam. Look at my other engine.
