Jeez, that's a hell of a lot more powerful than I expected!
Yeah, better keep your phone away from it!
Shalor McKee or your pacemaker
blackmajor93 he used microwave transformers and it didn't look like he had much wire in the coils. It lifted more than I expected. I can make an electromagnet with a nail, some wire, and a battery; that doesn't mean it will pick up an I beam. Don't be condescending.
John Fraser I made one with my 9yo boy yesterday from one transformer. That thing is much, much more powerful than I expected. Only thing is it get super hot after a few seconds. What voltage do yo recommend?
Carlos robles did you rewire the microwave transformer? What part gets hot?
Ridiculously strong for the size. Great build as always.
Thank you Greg! :)
WWE
@@snsn9382 they are connected in Parallel
Came here expecting another 5 minute crafts type project, didnt expect something that is actually useful. I didn't believe in the slightest that it would be that strong either...
Bravo. I particularly like your method of shrinking the insulation on the connectors!
Creative ideas + high quality craftsmanship + humor + SICK skill set = ENTERTAINING VIDEOS !
The milling job at the end of the built was really good!
I was shocked when you stay together on platform!) Cool videos, guys! Thank you so much for your pleasure content!
Wow, this is really amazing. I'm gonna show this to my students when teaching electromagnet, and I'm sure they will love watching this video. Thanks:)
Did you ever show them this?
Yes. I showed this to my 6th-grade students. I kinda skipped some of the unnecessary making part so that they can focus more on the video. They really enjoyed watching it, and especially loved the ending part where two men do lots of experiments with the electromagnet!
Hi guys, great job! You are an inspiration to me and to be honest I myself try to make movies in your style :) Greetings from the cold Poland !!!
i'll support you :D *subbed*
great videos, work on!
greetings from Germany
Thank you so much my friend!
Hey, guys, can you , please, buld the car motor wheel from microwave transformers ???
Hi guys.......................
................
Made in algeria.
Awesome project bro
Thank you man! :)
You've got the sickest channel for any DIY. Bravo
Thank you! :)
Thank you for sharing your eyeball engineering skills. Great job
hahaha! love this! I really hope you tested all the electricals before you put in the gunk, no fixing that! great job guys!
Nice one guys! I now feel the need of a shop tour xD
Thank you! :)
yesss! I was hoping to see if it would hold your weight. Too cool
Thank you! :)
You guys are insanely brilliant. The stuff you make and the way you make it look easy is ridiculous. Make a fricking spaceship, seriously. I know you can do it
Hey bro you're like Inspector Gadget and MacGyver all in one ,Hey my friend once again you the man bro your awesome :)
Thank you! :)
No problem bro :)
Yeah digging the music!!!
Finally some good music!
:)
I liked the metal type music they had, but this works too, more supple i guess..
The last two minutes sound like something the old Command&Conquer games could've had on something magnet-themed. Metal be for metal projects :D
0:09
As I already said you are doing a thing which is an entire industry does with the help of designers, engineers, CAD designs, prototypes and CNC perfection but you all did it like building a Lego toy. God gifted you great knowledge and resources.
I have seen a few of these transformer type pickup magnets, but I give you a thumb up for shortening the TRF core for further reducing magnetic circuit resistance.
Wow strong magnet class)))
That man has talent!! Very nice quality especially for shop built.
Freaking nice to have the stuff u need to make the stuff u want ! I am very impressed!
You've got great hands man! That looks professional!
Seeing how you salvaged those parts from a microwave and made this tool reminded me of those Discovery channel prehistoric shows with cavemen - but in a more recent form, lol.
GJ
I love it!
One question though, does it get hot if you leave it on over a period of time?
Treat it's workload like you would a microwave and it will be fine, that's if you don't hate microwaves.
Yeah, those sobs get warm!
@@richardmoeller5351 actually they removed a coil and a big part of the core so the reactance is lower. this thing is probably drawing ludicrous amounts of current and probably heat up real fast (unless he powers it with current limited dc)
microwave is a hell of paid actor 😀😄
You guys make some awesome stuff! I'm impressed and I don't say that often!
Again AWESOME video, project and work, i love to watch your videos and take some ideas from you keep doing it!
It's Amazing and powerful.
how much voltage I need for each transformarter?
Awesome project! The uses for old MOTs never cease to amaze me...
What is the total capacity of it? It's obviously enough to life both you guys & a heavy plate of steel, but did you test to see just how much it would hold until it fails? (Small car?)
I think trying to lift a car by its roof wouldn't work because the roof might break off but i think the magnet might be able to do it
Ok, that is totally bad ass!! Amazing build and finishing.
Your welding skills are top notch.
great job!!!
I wonder how long it takes for the coils to heat up under load
my question too.
Casing acts like a heatsink.
I made one with 5 trans and it was still cool after 10 hrs operation. EM force produces very small amt of heat. The heat gets dissipated through the casing metal.
Bad ass man. I have a couple of questions. Is it using direct mains voltage? does it get warm after heavy use such as after 10 or 20 minutes?
No, because electromagnets don't work with AC.
@@deafkite638 yes they do
@@inrg3688 It will not pick items up due to mains (in us) being 60hz, which means that the direction of current changes 60 times a second. Because this means that the polarity of the electromagnet will change 60 times a second, it will not pick items up like shown in the video
I am glad i subscribed! EPIC stuff you do, and professionally!
Cara tu é um gênio!!! Parabéns amigo top seus projetos...
u are just to cool freak man with the tools and the knowledge Base. Can we be friends.....
Chief Jones
Can you please show the wiring diagram and power diagram of it?
Shih Tzu its literally a coil of wire and putting power through it
@@milkparker4479 Except for the automatic battery backup as safety and needed switching, fuses, battery circuit and battery charger
each of the transformers from the microwaves has a positive and negative. He just attached each of the positives and negatives together then fed them into the main female plug. which plugged into a male adapter which probably gave out the same power as that of a house socket.
All coils are connected in series to a voltage source. ~220v ~220v
FartinWolf it’s alternating so you can literally just series them all together
wtf!! so coool! and really neat result! excellent!
Thank you file! :)
Great video.
Just happened to put a old microwave in the back of my car today haha.
Thanks for brilliant instructions to follow
What voltage is applied- AC or DC?
any ưould work
Why putting the electrical plug backwards?
@The Great Cornholio but therefore you would need to connect it backwords - also now the plug is delivering the voltage that's means it would be possible to touch a live contact (if its just 12v as i think it wont matter)
Hey! This video makes you once again reconsider the value of broken microwaves! Awesome job dude, could you tell us how many amps you're throwing into that baby? And a happy new year!
Effing awsome dude dig the tunes
welding looks so easy at videos D:
months ? my tig welding sucks for ever :(
ok it might be just me ... but sometime try tig weld aluminium tubes
Am I missing something? I thought electromagnets required DC current to operate yet I see no diodes and DC supply is not mentioned. What gives?
@@rossyb_youtube AC would be much worse than DC because you have to imagine that with DC the charge moves in one direction and this movement creates the magnetic field which points either up or down.
With alternating current you force the magnetic field's direction to change all the time and this creates a loss of power which is proportional to the frequency of the AC.
Autoinductance delays the current, if you get a delay of 90 degrees, you can achieve permanent attraction
@@rossyb_youtube read the blog it uses 48v dc
Excellent, super surprised at lifting strength, real fun video. Excellent
Wow! nice job. These videos are the reason to be in mechatronics school. Greetings from Ecuador
You guys should make a super powerful Blender out of a 5 gallon bucket. ha. Something that would blow the Vitamix and Blendtech out of the water. You will need something like that for parties. Just saying
William Ellison yes!!!! like from a lawn mower or weed eater!
***** or staying with the current theme they could use a grinder. Haha
William Ellison haha yeah! I might go do that as one of my projects. I do a DIY Vlog. you might like it. I'd love your input.
***** I checked out your channel. Not a fan of vloggers. Nothing personal.
However, if you do deside to do that project i will watch.
why stop at a 5 gallon bucket why not use a 50 gallon barrel
oh man imagine if he didnt test to see if it works before filling it and chopping off the top
Will J what is that filler he used called?
FaZe Failure of the Sphincter epoxy resin.
Dude, that is so sweet! Good work! God bless all!
very powerful, good job; thank you
Thank you!
Amaizing build!
You use AC or DC to power thic magnet?
Which voltage and amperage?
Thank you! 86,4W at 24v 3,6A DC
Thanks!
Make it Extreme 36 or 3-6 amps?
86.4W/24V=3,6 A
Sergey Sorokin thank you, do you know how to make a power supply for this, as soon as i hooked it up to my dc wall outlet power supply it fried my powersupply
Seems the uses for MOT's are endless...
Yes as the coil turns magnetic, it heats and repeated contraction and expansion will result in it being separated from the steel top as the cofficient of expansion for both resin and steel top varies. to make it stronger, consider welding a steel plate to the top one.
well made
i love how u play with your toys
The method for the plug is kinda umsafe....
Angryjoshi16 it is probably to avoid pluging it to AC mains by mistake, as the magnet works on 48v, as said on their site
@@yahnsolo also, only 48 Volts on the plug makes it safe. Probably still not nice to touch, but 50v is considered a safe voltage.
очень аккуратно сделано, достойные проекты у автора,
но как иногда говорят в рунете, тема сисек не раскрыта)
how many does it can lift? how much is voltage supply?
вот да, хрен поймешь =) думаю что тонну точно поднимет
hi love this and do you wire the transformers in series or parrallel and what is the resin?
Awsome...not only for the work..but for your presentation toooooo....like it a lot
Where's Optimus Prime? This isn't Transformers!
What are stupid things I've just seen? Welding without removing coils? Supply by MALE socket and FEMALE plug?
This was done just for more extreme)))
Robert Monroe The iron body is a heat sink and wouldn’t allow enough heat to harm the copper you dumbass... as far is that female plug you’re talking about yo ass is just fantasizing about a bitch with a strap on!
Well, whatever that works
@@luciustate4386 Strange statements, but now I see about you are thinking all the time. Strapons and ass, you see it everywhere, poor. Somebody did a violence with you in such a way?
This is as entertaining as the magnet build.
Don't stop!
Love Your Work Bud! great craftsmanship! greetz from Frankfurt/germany
thanks for sharing Make it Extreme
Disarm people at your front door with a push of a button.
Jake Bogus kll pacemaker people
I have a friend with a pacemaker and his beeps and shuts off when near strong magnets.
Could also be used to repel an object?
You shouldvle sodlered those connections, because once iys in the resin you cant fix it.
Parabéns pelo invenção é show de conhecimentos.
That turned out great!
why is the female plug on the magnet side? pretty unsafe
fab-ster it's low voltage dc
why is it unsafe tho?
Robert Combs because that means the side wich delivers power is male. Aka two metal pins under voltage. Aka you can touch them when they're powered.
If you touch 24V DC it is completely safe. But not safe for the power supply itself as it can get shorted by literally anything from metal that touches it
whats the correct way to hook this thing up guys.... ?.. thanks .....much peace n love
Couple of suggestions: If you ever drill a hole, get a countersink in your battery powered drill and get rid of those sharp edges around the holes. And if you ever put a cable through a part like that, put a strain relief there, the typical go-through-plate reliefs also provide protection from the wire abrasing against the plate.
Very good work continued magnificence
awesome creativity ,,, hats off to you guys, very nice work with perfection
Damn, that's easier to make than I thought... I might need one of these... hmm... (Gary Ramsey definitely needs one. HAHA!)
Home run! Did you have an idea it would be that strong before you finished? Impressive strength. Keep it up!
Simply brilliant and brilliantly simple. Two thumbs up.👍👍
Thank you! :)
Absolutely clean,safety and nice result... I like videos
Good work. Thank you for sharing.
Nice skill sets I'm very happy you are sharing this. Credit to CZcams and yourselves.
Thank you!
!Fantástico! Yo sabía que esos viejos transformadores de microondas, me servirían algún día para hacer algo interesante como ésto. Gracias por el proyecto.
Wow you guys are Exstreme.. No mucking around here. Thanks for showing me how to deal with them. cheers
It’s really cool watching someone take some free trash and turn it into a powerful, versatile tool!
Man, that looks awesome!
Whoah, that's amazingly strong =O
Great job, as always~!
Thanks! :)
Wow!!! I can't believe how strong it is!!! So very cool guys!!!!! 💪🏻
Thank you! :)
Woooooow, you guys know how to put a smile on my face!
