Making a Simple Electromagnet

Construction of a simple electromagnet from 3 different shafts and a copper wire

[josepalacid]

For this "simple" electromagnet, you'll need: thermo conductive grease and glue, double enameled copper wire, polycarbonate, a 3D printer, a TIG welder, and a lathe capable of machining steel. The aluminium heatsink is optional

Fantastic idea with the xt30 connector!
Very nicely executed. It further inspires me to get a lathe to do cool stuff like that. Thanks for sharing

[phoryanryan]

You should make a coil gun, that'd be cool

amazing i might make a 3D printed one i dont need that much power and rigidity
you need a free wheeling diode so you dont fry whatever is powering that electro magnet (every coil should have a diode) also plz insolate the wires more at 4:24 they might shot out when it gets pressed on or something ...

very nice work. i wish i could make one too, but after buying a 5000 euro lathe, 800 euro worth of welding equipment, 1000 euro welding lessons, build a 15000 euro shop to fit the lathe and such, i think i would not have money left to buy the materials to make Lol. nice video!

Mezmorizing Brother. Fantastic work. What's really great about it is the lack of static noise from it.
We've made a few from discarded microwaves but they buzz like crazy

Great job, would you consider including a temperature sensor in the future? Could be used to avoid burn out

Fantastic work, Maciej! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Pretty impressive home made magnet - Thumbs UP!

AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing! Greetings, from Salem, Oregon U.S.A.!! 🌲🌲🌲🌲

Congrats, on your work it´s a beautiful piece to demonstrate how can build an electromagnet and test it. Thanks.

Efekt końcowy jest fantastyczny 👍Taka mini sufnica na elektromagnetyczny uchwyt to przyszłość .Zawiesia hakowe powoli odchodzą w przeszłość.

[satokaiba]

Nicely done. Complements to your build. 👍👍😊😊

[uiogynq]

Cool, I liked it! It’s very interesting how much weight it can withstand, check it with scales, I really want to know!

[HHHGeorge]

Thank you for a very informative video. I always wanted to know how to make a good electromagnet rather than the crappy ones we made at high school.

[bulentvural]

It is very cute. Also, it can be used for magnetic levitation with an appropriate controller.

[chandudumbu]

Excellent work. Can you create a mini adapter kind of electro magnet that can be connected to a mobile 3.5mm jack ?

[mastopage]

What a great project and the work perfect. Do you have a idea of the maximum voltage and amp that you could put into the magnet ?

[sddiymakeitworthit]

Nice presentation and workpiece congratulations 🥳 👍 thanks 🙏

[dalenassar]

GREAT
I assume the power is DC, thus the Al outer casing won't be affected by eddy currents?
If it was AC would eddy's come into play??
THANKS MUCH....I really need to get such equipment!!...milling machine, 3D-printer, welder...
I think I would have put a couple pieces of heat-shrink where the wires go through.
