How to Make a Reed Switch

[@andreg1955]

Good job, Ludic! I have tried the first design with the magnet and I have noticed that the reed magnet was attracted to much by the passing one, and the design became a little chaotic, so I let it go. But, the second design is a master piece and I replicated it last night, it is working like a factory designed reed switch. Thank you very much for sharing.

Great ideas mate and you explain it all well, great for kids and adults

[@captainprototype187]

a push instead ofa pull mechanism, I can use that idea for my 19th century style steam punk motor

[@danimaster6647]

Again top quality video, always looking forward to you're content!

[@sphynxusa]

Your simple projects are genius. Thank You!

[@ludicscience]

+Paul Ybarra glad you like them

[@yankozlatanov]

If you put another cooper plate on top and wire 180 deg the switch will work with both magnetic polarities.

[@TheTubejunky]

from advanced to non advanced. I learned circuitry in reverse of these few posts. i once used a straw and a spring made from a lighter and paper clip.

[@retopoltera-meng4742]

Will iit also work with a piece of aluminum on the wooden Block?

[@yowgyrl]

So glad I found this video! I think I found how I'm going to use this to make a switch on a box so that when it opens, the lights come on automatically. I am guessing that the power supply can be a battery pack? Thanks so much!

[@cisarvialpando7412]

nice video.....I'm waiting for your next video.

[@j.c-mtl1150]

Man, thank you much.!!! very usefull for many things.

[@stopmotiongags5800]

Fascinating as always

[@mexcanfun4300]

Made a couple like yours, but after a day the contacts burn , very small spark, ,but turns black and stops working?

[@navvinbhat2342]

WOW GOOD THANX FOR THIS USEFUL FULL INFO KEEP IT UP

[@TheBlork74]

Tried this switch on 400V 50A, it didn't work very well

[@TheTubejunky]

Skaarj RPG try with everything 'conductive' with correct rated gauges AWG

[@froggylillylad9666]

Skaarj RPG that's a good way to start a fire. Im guessing you.were joking around tho 😀

[@smoke4131]

Skaarjman hahaha

[@johnshelton2810]

Good Video and very useful item to build

[@seckisecen9445]

It is very simple and useful. You can use it to make a burglar alarm.

[@moroniafrifa614]

That's just beautiful ❤️

[@deepikad7787]

Very nice man .

[@MahBor]

Can I use this as a relay with 220V AC?

[@gristlevonraben]

I am new to electronics. However i am working on a simple and primitive transistor. There is a video of one from general electric on youtube. But i suspect one can be made even more simpler, but i honestly could be wrong.

[@123grobari]

make something about fm/am radio

[@skyline3delectronics]

Nice video.

[@gtgators88]

How much power is required? Is there another source one could use like a battery?

[@ludicscience]

+Occam Talk yes you can use a battery

[@Dubswitcher]

Did you use a jenga block for the wood?

[@ludicscience]

+OBV10U3_NINJA yes! I use them all the time for projects

[@falconop6130]

Please make a video on how to find primary of flyback

[@minskie]

Brlliant!

[@abhiramabhi734]

Can u put the mathematical proof of range of reed switch(10mm)

[@manishnebhani6657]

hi,I am working on my coil gun but the power supply flash camera circuit is hard to find , can you suggest me any other power supply other than flash camera circuit to charge my 450 volt caps

[@ludicscience]

I will make a video on a capacitor charger, something like this: uzzors2k.4hv.org/index.php?page=capcharger2

[@manishnebhani6657]

Ludic Science thank you very much

[@dalmatiko]

hmmm,this is someting like taster whit magnet very clever, if i rotate a two magnets on rod close to this reed switch I will get digital oscillating signals.

[@falconop6130]

Ludic you have a video simple flyback driver can we use cfl circuit

[@ludicscience]

+Altaf Hussain yes you can

[@mrakjunior]

aimple but elegent

[@transmediapedia3732]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@emadabuhagag222]

thank you

[@ganeshkumarj.m.a.c9550]

super bro

[@legomaster3189]

Thats not a reed switch. Thats a actuator. Reeds are flat and flexible. Also the tubes filled with nitrogen to prevent arcing

[@a6dulsalam511]

you clever 😘😘

[@tobiasa.9583]

why coper wire? can i use also steel wire? steel is magnetic, when i use a permanent magnet on him.

[@MentaIlIl]

Have u tried it with a steel one?

[@MCsCreations]

Great video, man... Again. LOL

[@lokeshrahul8504]

i watched every video bro, I just want to see you please change your Google profile photo bro please

[@redneckster6639]

REED switch stays closed once electricity flows. Your does not. So you created a Hall sensor at best.

[@artemryapolov1476]

Hello. Please make a particles accelerator.

[@colesmith6874]

That is a bit harder than you might think.

[@noroneelec4024]

Like to get 1k of likes, anyway you deserve more, good idea

[@pollo4895]

Muy bien..

[@dpyp]

want to see your face. plz?

[@raymondmoore2834]

This is NOT a reed switch. It is a magnetically activated switch, yes. A reed switch has ferromagnetic reeds that become magnetized and attracted to each other in the presence of a magnetic field. There is no actual magnet in a reed switch. Just because this is activated by a magnet does not make it a magnetic reed switch. Someone needs to do some research.

[@zozo71zozo71]

nice

[@shutdahellup69420]

exactly

[@PlanetRockJesus]

That's not really a reed switch.
