Thanks Mr Pete for the You Tube Re-runs. To me it is very sad that MOST of the kids are not interested in "the old stuff". I, being near your age, appreciate ALL your projects and ALL your videos. Thanks for sharing the through the years. I only wish I had the time to watch ALL your videos. P.S. don't be ashamed to live in the past, if not for people like you, these kids would have no future, but who's going to wake them up to tell them that! God Bless......
Many thanks for the show mrpete. Great seeing all these little engines. Just keep rambling on. Yes there are plenty of people watching. regards from the UK
I to tend to remember the past. It seemed complicated then but looking back it was a great time for the US. We were definitely great then. We were all on the same page. I really enjoy you videos. Brings back memories of my shop teachers. All great guy.
There are a lot of people in this world with tiny minds who's only purpose seems to be to cause trouble and upset for others. Ignore them, they are simply not worth the time of day. If you wish to be Tubalcain, then Tubalcain you shall be.
Those small motors are really something. I bet your grandson would love to have one of those on a shelf in his room. ( there you go young man,,, I tried )
All this reminds me of several electronic projects I made (burglar alarm; coax checker) using my own designs. After a few years when they quit working, I COULD NOT fix them! Maybe our brains unhook some of the connections! I enjoy your videos, no matter what, and You Tube is the best!. Thanks for your efforts!
Mr. Pete: “I wonder if anybody is watching this?” Me: YES Mr. Pete!!! I’m watching this video and greatly enjoying and appreciating it as I’m sure many others as well , so please don’t shorten the video or be afraid to make more videos like this!!!
Enjoyed your video on electric engines. I made one of the "crude" versions back in the early ‘60s when I was a boy using hand-wound solenoids, nails, a coat hanger crank shaft, and a wood base. It had four solenoids and worked pretty well. I still have it as a matter of fact. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
Sporlan MKC-1 is a small frame refrigeration solenoid coil. Sporlan is one of the largest refrigeration component manufacturers in the world. I've installed hundreds in several voltages over the years. They can withstand a large amount of abuse.
MrPete, You should sign them, I think the people who buy them would like that. You seem to be a wonderful man and have inspired me to start my own CZcams channel doing machine shop related videos, I am doing a tapered gib build using my big 24" Cincinnati metal shaper. I love your videos, you remind me in a way of my father. Thanks Again Steve Summers
Your grandson said they are awesome why not hand them to him?..... so sad they are not getting passed down.... I held onto everything my father and grandfather even touched it's all so sentimental to me :) thanks for sharing mate. Brett.
Mr. Pete, I'm watching. and will continue to watch all your very informative videos. I always look forward to the next one. and thank you for doing what you do.
. I wish they sold erector sets like they use to. I had a very large set which my uncle bought on Maxwell street. Between that and an original Lionel train set, we built a lot of things. The set even had an electric motor. Why we didn't kill ourselves I don't know. Thanks for the short time we get for you to entertain and teach us. I'm 68 years old and still learning things.
To blazes with the critic's and their ilk do what you enjoy & enjoy whatever you do!!! Oh by the way I always look forward to viewing your unique videos so informative and fun.
It always feels so good when something you make really WORKS! Fine job! Enjoyed watching so many things that do the same thing........work as designed. THANKS for sharing.
I would love to see someone build a Hit or Miss Electric Engine. One of your 12 Volt engines ran quite a while with the wires unhooked, that would be a good one to try. The speed governor is all that it lacks. I've been working on Joule Thieves with some success. Longer lasting, Higher Voltages all good fun. Thanks for the demonstration, very enjoyable, unlike the let's block traffic kind of demonstration.
Thank you so much for showing these engines. You are a great inventor/engineer. We are lucky to have you to show us these wonderful models that you have made. You must be a very patient man to do this kind of work. Best wishes to you and keep on modelling.
Thanks Mr. Pete I really learn a lot of new things from your videos. Also, I have been watching older videos you have made of field trips and they are GREAT!
Hey were watching Mr. Pete-! As I kid I would have loved just this kind of thing and I also live in the past as it was a much better time in some ways. As a young kid I was always taking motors out of broken toys or applainces and trying to do something with them. I had a Kenner girder and panel erector set with water pumps I loved. Also was an avid model car builder and I assembled one of the old Visible V8 engines back in the early 70's, im sure you've seen 'em with the light up spark plugs etc.
Pete, once back on the farm, I needed a solenoid rated for continuous use, but there was none to be had. So I used a momentary solenoid, and wired it through a light bulb. The initial current was high enough to energize the contacts, but as the bulb began to glow, the current was reduced to a point where it kept the points in contact, but the coil didn't overheat. What do you think of that?
I am sorry I missed your eBay sale of these motors. I am about 6 years your junior so we grew up in a time when boys tinkered in the basement and built such things and now at the age of 72 I still want to tinker even though I am busy with so many other projects. Since I am not a metal worker I search for ideas that will enable me to build similar motors simply for the joy of working out the solution to the problem.
Thanks for the electric engine demos. Sad state when people feel compelled to criticize use of solder and other petty trivialities. If anyone cant see that disrespect is more the rule than exception they are probably much younger than us and I dont envy them one bit. Hope its not the end of the once great United States.
On CZcams channels such as Mr. Pete's I'm thinking jealousy is behind the negative comments. Fortunately they're few and far between and also irrelevant.
When you energize any coil, (ex. 12vdc) the moment you pull the power, you get a collapsing field of the coil, which could be from 100's to thousand's of volts, and that is where the sparks comes from. The capacitor, just makes that high voltage pass thru the cap., during this collapsing field. That is why there is a cap in the distributor in your car. That cap is mainly used for saving the point from burning up. Just take the cap out some time, and see how well your car runs. The collapsing field that causes the spark, really never disconnects the circuit, and the car runs very rough, if at all. Some time, if you feel like it, take a coil and put it in parallel with a neon lamp(small), like the one in an old voltage tester for 110vac outlets. Then take a 9vdc battery, and also connect it in parallel with the coil and lamp. Nothing will happen until you quickly remove the battery. The collapsing voltage in the coil will turn on the lamp. This may produce any where from 90 to 120+ volts, depending on the amount of turns on the coil. This is how you get the high voltage for sparkplugs in your car, only using 12 volts. The output of the coil will be in the 12,000 to 15,000 range and that is what the use of your distributor points which is timed from the cam shaft is for. You probably already knew all this. I did watch the whole show. I like it, because this is the kinds of things that do interest me. Keep the videos coming!!! I look forward to watching every one of them!! Have a good day!!!!
Actually you can go ahead and call the electromagnetic part a "solenoid" because that is still technically correct. The term has a very broad definition and all helical wound coils are solenoids. It is commonly restricted to coils wound around pistons or rods that convert electrical energy into liner motion but the term is French and originally described a simple helical wound coil so yes it is still a solenoid. A relay for example is a specific type of solenoid. Love your videos so keep them coming.
I quite enjoyed your sharing of your handmade electric impulse motors. I'm curious if the Stirling heat engine ever caught your interest. Too bad that these treasures will be leaving your family.
Thank you for the reply sir, I have just watched a your principles of the Stirling engine from 2009. Very nice video, I see you have several on making one, I will indeed watch them, but alas, my father was the machinist, I am the computer guy.
I know this is a dumb question but if you lower the voltage won't it run slower. or do you have to make electrical changes. I love the sound of steam engines running fairly slow. and I think those solenoid and electric magnet motors would sound similar. plus love all your videos. keep up the great work. I will be looking to buy one of your motors. and I hope it works out
your awesome, don't worry about the haters, I am 15 I have always loved engine mainly steam engines though they have always had a special place in my heart but if I had the materials and tools I would have made about 50 engines by now hahaha.
Hello Mr. Peterson (and CZcams) from central Illinois! I'm 99.995% sure that engine #5 from this video is shown in the earliest video available on Mr. Peterson's channel. The title of the video is “SOLENOID magnet motor like steam engine TUBALCAIN”. (I'm not posting a link so this comment will be automatically shown, if you're interested you'll have to do a little work to find it.) Just the other night I was wondering “What was the first video about that this guy put on CZcams?” I went to mrpete222's channel, clicked on Videos, then clicked on the drop-down where it says "Date added (newest)" and changed it to "Date added (oldest)". And low and behold, the first video shown is a 1:54 long clip of of engine #5. (With cheesy background music too... I seem to remember Tubalcain complaining about background music and time lapse in another video I watched recently...) That's awesome! I haven't bought anything off of an auction site in years, but I'll be bidding on that one if it comes up for sale!
Greeting from N.C. I like the hypnotic clicking of these little engines. Am I correct the contact switches reverse polarity of the magnets and solenoids? Thanks.
Ellie Price -- they are only powered for the power (pull in) stroke, the switch lets the circuit break while the flywheel brings everything around. but yours is a grand idea -- reversing would double the power, and make the solenoid "double acting" !
Thanks Kev. I'm wondering if polarity can be switched on a common solenoid or if a different design is needed? A 'compound' solenoid, if possible, would be similar to double acting pistons on steam engines.
Your electromagnetic engines are so neat! I had not thought of a hybrid between an engine and an electric motor until seeing your inventions! I really understand about having too much stuff and wanting to 'constructively' get rid of some old projects. For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that 110V solenoid is part of a DEMA solenoid valve. I built my parents an automatic timed sprinkler system with those. They are DC24V but exactly the same appearance. www.demaeng.com/oem-solenoids-injectors-carwash/normally-closed-solenoid-valves/ Once again, I really appreciate seeing these and I'm sure there are plenty of other folks who also appreciate these videos! I have to say, I also live in the past. There's nothing wrong with that. That is my reality and it is a better reality than what many other people choose to live in now.
There is nothing wrong with the past Mr Pete........can the wheels be purchased separately or did you say you cast them yourself? Hello Tubalcain.........I live in Australia if you know of any suppliers.. Thank you Garry Court
Hmmm, makes me wonder if you could build a model train steam locomotive (HO? for a challenge) using this method in place of the steam cylinders? Then wouldn't need a unsightly motor /gearbox.
I've got to ask...concerning the Craftsman Kromedge tap and die set for sale on ebay....why is it worth so much? Just curious since it's at nearly $400
Model engines have gone the way of the Elks Club, Ham Radio, Model Railroading and the Home Darkroom. The enthusiasts are departing for the cemetery by the month now.
I'd arm-wrestle you for a can of that Kasenit. The Nanny State in action... stuff if safe if you don't eat it or put a blanket over your head to breath the fumes.
Terrible that your kids or grandchildren don't have any interest. If you were my father or grandfather I would definitely want a few from you and build some with you also.

Please keep being Tubalcain. Don't let others make you change.
I agree. Lyle should stand his ground and not worry about what losers say.

Fantastic I think I have some solenoids Off of a coke machine just removed one .
I going to build one of these. Thanks.
Nice video. One suggestion so that no one can sue you. On the 110 volt motor you may want to insulate the microswitch connections before you sell it.
Thanks for watching

The moving "rod" in the center of a solenoid is called the "armature".
Yes, now I remember that
diodes not capacitors you need across the coil to dampen the back emf which is giving the spark. but the spark is cool
thanks
I build and sell solenoid engines from time to time (you can see them on my channel). That's a nice collection! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching--nice job
your awesome, don't worry about the haters, I am 15 I have always loved engine mainly steam engines though they have always had a special place in my heart but if I had the materials and tools I would have made about 50 engines by now hahaha.

Hello Mr. Peterson (and CZcams) from central Illinois!
I'm 99.995% sure that engine #5 from this video is shown in the earliest video available on Mr. Peterson's channel. The title of the video is “SOLENOID magnet motor like steam engine TUBALCAIN”. (I'm not posting a link so this comment will be automatically shown, if you're interested you'll have to do a little work to find it.)
Just the other night I was wondering “What was the first video about that this guy put on CZcams?” I went to mrpete222's channel, clicked on Videos, then clicked on the drop-down where it says "Date added (newest)" and changed it to "Date added (oldest)". And low and behold, the first video shown is a 1:54 long clip of of engine #5. (With cheesy background music too... I seem to remember Tubalcain complaining about background music and time lapse in another video I watched recently...)
That's awesome! I haven't bought anything off of an auction site in years, but I'll be bidding on that one if it comes up for sale!
Thanks for watching
Greeting from N.C. I like the hypnotic clicking of these little engines. Am I correct the contact switches reverse polarity of the magnets and solenoids? Thanks.
Ellie Price -- they are only powered for the power (pull in) stroke, the switch lets the circuit break while the flywheel brings everything around. but yours is a grand idea -- reversing would double the power, and make the solenoid "double acting" !
Thanks Kev. I'm wondering if polarity can be switched on a common solenoid or if a different design is needed? A 'compound' solenoid, if possible, would be similar to double acting pistons on steam engines.
Thanks for watching
Great Video. Fan of yours, Mr.Pete222. How about mounting 2 ball bearing the on the shaft and a roller bearing on the Cam. Please advise.
Too late--the job is done
Thanks
14:30 If you are worried that the solenoid(s) are overheating, why not add fan blades to the flywheel(s)?
Good idea
Good lord when did Tubalcain Jr get soo big ?
overnite
Your electromagnetic engines are so neat! I had not thought of a hybrid between an engine and an electric motor until seeing your inventions!
I really understand about having too much stuff and wanting to 'constructively' get rid of some old projects.
For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that 110V solenoid is part of a DEMA solenoid valve. I built my parents an automatic timed sprinkler system with those. They are DC24V but exactly the same appearance. www.demaeng.com/oem-solenoids-injectors-carwash/normally-closed-solenoid-valves/
Once again, I really appreciate seeing these and I'm sure there are plenty of other folks who also appreciate these videos!
I have to say, I also live in the past. There's nothing wrong with that. That is my reality and it is a better reality than what many other people choose to live in now.
Thanks for watching
Very Good Mr-Pete, To build your CAMs, how did you determine the ON time for the Solenoid?
Eldon Brown -- it just needs to be "on" for the entire power stroke... a little under half of the complete cycle.
@9:24 just like NASA forgot how to get to the moon 🌝
There is nothing wrong with the past Mr Pete........can the wheels be purchased separately or did you say you cast them yourself? Hello Tubalcain.........I live in Australia if you know of any suppliers.. Thank you Garry Court
Thanks for watching--cast myself
Putting a diode across the coil win stop the back EMF & Arcing
Thanks for watching
it makes me sad that you are selling off your motors and steam engines mr pete 😭
yea but i dont have any money :'( Im glad to see a video of them tho
Thanks for watching
What's the difference between magnetic type amd solenoid type
Hmmm, makes me wonder if you could build a model train steam locomotive (HO? for a challenge) using this method in place of the steam cylinders? Then wouldn't need a unsightly motor /gearbox.

Hi mrpete. What kind of camera do you use to make your videos?
sony handycam
Remember when tublecain jr was 10
yep-Thanks for watching
Love your videos sad to see them go
The engines that is
I've got to ask...concerning the Craftsman Kromedge tap and die set for sale on ebay....why is it worth so much? Just curious since it's at nearly $400
who knows---Thanks for watching
Who the farke is the arse hole who gave the thumbs down. Shame on you. Thank you Mr. Pete. I enjoyed the video. Cheers
he's an idiot-Thanks for watching
Grandson seems more interested than your kids maybe?
Model engines have gone the way of the Elks Club, Ham Radio, Model Railroading and the Home Darkroom. The enthusiasts are departing for the cemetery by the month now.
How true. I have an enlarger, trays, film developing tanks, safe light, etc. all junk now...l
I consider myself a recent addition to the model engine/steam engineer ranks, at the ripe old age of 45
As ralph Nater would say unsafe at any speed I hope they go to a good home

Terrible that your kids or grandchildren don't have any interest. If you were my father or grandfather I would definitely want a few from you and build some with you also.
I know-Thanks for watching
Why not give your stuff to Jody, your grandson.. He seems interested, he is down in the basement with you.
price...?
Listen again. He said he was putting them on eBay in June.
Makes me wonder if some people bother to pay attention at all. mrpete must feel like he's back teaching school. :-)
oh i am sorry...
i don't understan speake english 😢😢
