NO MUSIC thank you. A great project mrpete and all the better for having no music. Why people think that music improves a shop video is beyond comprehension. Your narration is all we need. regards from the UK
I agree with everyone. No music, please. I like the relaxed conversation and the humor. I don't know if this was discussed, but my two cents as an electronic engineer/retired physics teacher on commutators: split commutators produce DC current, while separate (whole) rings, one for each wire, produce AC current. Forgive me if this was already mentioned. Great videos by the way, very enjoyable and engaging. Please keep up the good work!
I'll mimic what Mr. Porter posted 3 months ago. This series plus your other videos have inspired me to build my own models and machine tools such as a set of machinist vices. I don't have near the excess materials in my shop that you do so I'm having to order the stock materials needed that I don't already have. After 36 years of working for Uncle Sam in electronics, I started a Gunsmith business. I've always been an shade tree machinist at heart and love watching your videos and learning from you.
I am so impressed with the design I am going to make my own version of this next winter when the snow is swirling around outdoors and I am in the shop all day looking for something to keep me entertained. BUT, mine will not be metal because I am not a metal worker. I will be making mine out of wood for the most part and will strive to do your design justice with as much care and precision as I can accomplish after nearly 60 years of practicing the woodworking trades. Thank you for the inspiration.
I gotta agree with the folks, no music. You are very easy to listen to and continually point out things many people just don't know or see. I can see how music would interfere with that. Your electrical might be a bit weak but it isn't ruining your projects at all. Really impressive teaching skills coupled with a sound background in metal working. Always enjoy your videos sir! Have a pleasant evening.
Beautifully done Mr. Pete! You are a superior craftsman; it shows in your work! And this series also leaves me with more knowledge, and that's always welcome! My vote is for no music, I would much rather hear what you have to say.
No music is part of the reason I enjoy your channel so much! Even though I know you hate to paint that bit of color looks good on that dynamo.Thank you for the videos, they are always entertaining!
I've been using youtube like most people almost like a google search engine. I have certain regular channels I find myself wandering back to from time to time, but yours good sir, is the first I have ever been inspired to subscribe to. I just wanted to say thank you for the video's you make, hopefully preserving your clearly extensive knowledge and skill in a world of disposable items, so that inquisitive minds like myself can learn about how things are done properly. At the risk of seeming a braggart, I am no dim bulb, and was an engineering major before I discovered that I had a very 1930's view of an engineer, and didnt want to do the modern version, and have been working with my hands on all things mechanical and electrical for my 34 years on this planet. But things like the yellowboy steam engine you also did a video on had me perplexed regarding exactly how they worked. Watching your video answered every question I had and then some as if, or better than, had I built it with my own hands. I am machine shop limited at the moment, but one day, I hope to be building things of this nature myself, you sir, are an inspiration. All the best to you and your family. Hope life treats you all well.
Great video Mr. Pete. Just a side note from an old electronics shop teacher: if you want to stop the flickering put a small resistor in line on one of the legs coming from the generator. Great series!!!
I had one of those little generators, I thought it was AC? I brought mine to school lined up a bunch of us, and ran one side through the ground. Brings back a lot of memory's. Very nice job!!!!
Had to chuckle when you mentioned the daisy chain of kids and getting shocked. The neighborhood kids used to do the same thing with a lawn mower spark plug. No one has a sense of humor any more, though. I vote "no music". I like the sounds of the shop. Music is a distraction. Thank you for a great series!
no music That paint realy set it off nice get some 1x2 inch stock and put a rabbit joint in the top inside edge miter joint on the ends lay that 1/4 ply wood in that frame and stain base Thanks for sharing
Thought you'd like to know that this series and the yellow boy series have inspired me to build my own models. Almost finished with my Dynamo, entirely made of scrap material and I'm about 50% on my steam engine. Thanks and I will be sure to give due credit!
That was fun. Great series. I can not say enough about your work. I wish to thank you more than words i could speak ever would. As the comedian Gallagher said when performing on a street "please do not throw change, its very dangerous. Wrap it in $10 bills first" always hated watching him waste those perfectly good watermelons. One of Gods tasty gift to mankind.
Mr. Pete, Adding music would create a distraction in the classroom. Your videos are educational and your insight and allegories keep us entertained. Keep up the great work!
No music MrPete ! This applies to a pile of other YT channels too, it doesn't add a thing to a technical video, and in some cases is down right annoying too.....:o)
Great project thankyou for your wisdom. No music you tell a great yarn as it is. The flickering can be smoothed out with a few simple electronic components a couple of capacitors and a trasistor and resistor etc.
Found your channel not so long ago, and I'm loving this series. I think the format of your videos is just fine; no music necessary. Also, throwing a capacitor in parallel with those LEDs should alleviate the flickering.
Great series Mr. Pete! And I'd wager if you could find the room, a 100uF capacitor across the circuit would help smooth out the pulsating DC and reduce the flicker of the LEDs.
I prefer no music. My reasoning is that I can use the noise of the machine to determine the aggressiveness of the cut, it gives me another dimension that helps me in my work. It slows me down because I tend to want to push the machine to the limits because I like working fast. I understand that is a fault I must curb and I'm working in it and your videos help. Thanks for all you do.
Great project, I could not wait for each installment for this project,made me want to build one, I personnally do not need music for your videos. I think the instruction is the most important part of the videos.
I've managed to pick up a few things over the course of this series Pete, so I wanted to say thanks for that and for the work you put into creating this fantastic content.
G'day tubalcain, just wanted to say two things. First, thanks, I'll bet there are very many of us that love to learn from your experience. And second, the flashing of the LED's reminds me of a timing light for tuning a car engine :) and if you want to reduce that flashing then maybe do a search for "smoothing capacitor". A cheap and easy fix. Just choose an electrolytic capacitor that has a greater voltage rating than the voltage you are generating, eg, 10v or 16v should be fine for this, touch positive to your positive brush and negative to the negative brush and see if the flashing is reduced or goes away. Hope I can help after all the help you give our brains. :) ps, not a giant capacitor, maybe thinner than your pinky finger, 47uf or there would be many that could work.... I hope...haha...
Hello, very cool video. I've been watching your videos for a few years now and have learned and enjoyed every one of them. As far as the music goes, that is entirely up to you but I would rather listen to the teacher. Thanks for the awesome videos.
Love the Dynamo! Cant wait to make me one! And I would keep your videos exactly the way they are if I were you, your videos are perfect. Thanks Tubalcain!
I really enjoyed this video Mr Pete. Incidentally, when using neodymium magnets you don't need to use any iron in the coils. In fact it tends to be a hindrance as it causes the "cogging" effect and makes starting more difficult. It looks great by the way.
Two possible causes for the flickering come to mind. One is that the brushes contact both brass pieces at two points during rotation, essentially causing a brief short-circuit on the windings. The other is that maybe the brushes bounce and lose contact when they pass the gap. Because the flickering is irregular, that would appear to be quite likely. And as for your question, silence is golden. While I have gotten used to certain songs on some other creator's videos (especially their intros), it is unnecessary, and music during a fast forward adds nothing. From a learning perspective, having the machine and cutting noises along with the video adds a lot to the experience. When I am trying this at home and I hear different noises, I know I did it wrong right away!
Great job Mr. Pete as usual. BTW if you put a small electrolytic capacitor in parallel across the dynamo output (observing capacitor polarity of course) you should be able to minimize or eliminate the pulsation of the led lamps and you could probably hide it in the base to preserve the nice finish of your model. Thanks again for all the videos and sharing your work.
What a great set of videos this has inspired me to have a go at making a dynamo for my little engine. And please please please no music on your videos as I just love listening to your voice overs which I find very informative and interesting. Well thanks very much and no music. Keep up the good work. Gary from England.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos, I really enjoy them. Like others have said, please no music! I enjoy listening to what you have to say and share with us, and would find the music to be distracting.
Nice project. Sorry about the late post. I may have asked before. But shouldn't the magnetic path be completed between the two outside ends of the magnets?
My penny worth says no music. I really enjoy the videos and find them so instructive......... even though I have now attained the status of grumpy ole' git........ it reminds me so much of what I have learnt in earlier years and proves to me the value of a hands on how to do rather than the current i'll go buy it attitude. Again please no music there are many and excellent channels here for music yet to me not as entertaining as this channel
You probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my gf recently :)
How many people have commented on "YNAMO?" You always end up with swarf on a neodymium magnet, if it comes into the shop. It will pick up all the microscopic swarf you didn't realize was there. I kinda like the look of the magnets sticking out. I like your presentation method. No Gits oilers on the bearings? lol My 9th grade science teacher would give added points to a test score by how long you could hold on while he cranked one of those generators. Great series.
I watched all seven of these videos. The end result looks really good and is far outside of my machining skills. But... Your machine doesn't use the magnetic flux very efficiently. A test to see if it can be improved can be performed by placing a small c-clamp from one magnet to the other while monitoring the output voltage. I think it would go up. If the c-clamp looks too bad you could build a flux-frame to carry the magnetic lines of force from one magnet to the other. Great channel with no music.
Just an idea about the "stikyness" of the magnets; if you put 2 more at right angles to your originals with those 2 hitting North north positions they will repel and thus cancel out the originals attrsaction force, so it will act as "free wheeling"
Thanks for another interesting series! I'm a bit confused by your asking if adding music would be a good idea. Most of your videos already have the best music there is - hit-and-miss engines, spinning lathes, mills in action, hammering, filing...what more could we ask for?
I enjoyed you build very much. While I have a vague idea how motors work this helped me see the light. Ever wonder how much power these little engines produce? I built the pm research dymamo but instead of a light, used a resistor for load. By measuring the voltage across the resistor you get current and measuring the voltage at the dynamo power is calculated (P=IV). I feed both into analog to digital converter on an arduino development micro and wrote code to display on a little LCD screen. My little toy engine produced around 200 milliwatts. Of course that is just electrical power and does not account for mechanical losses. btw that is about 3 ten thousandths of a horsepower which I found entertaining.
Enjoyed the video. Please no music. Too many videos on You Tube block out and distract what the presenter is saying. I wish you had been my electric shop teacher. Mine was rather boring.
No music please. I am amazed that a person could make and engine and dynamo in a home shop and actually generate electricity. Your breed of multi skilled craftsman I think are becoming rare Tubalcain. P. S. I like the paint job on the dynamo.
You could try to wire a capacitor across the leads to the light. Since it's pulsating DC, I bet it would smooth the ripple and your LED would be more steady. Just use an old condenser from a car if you have one.
What better music than the cool sound of your tools, plus your witful anecdotes? However, if you want to use music some Bing Crosby, Al Bowley, Rose Mary Clooney, that would be awesome!!!
NO MUSIC thank you. A great project mrpete and all the better for having no music. Why people think that music improves a shop video is beyond comprehension. Your narration is all we need. regards from the UK

Another brilliant machine shop series. Most 'enlightening'. I have learnt so much watching your videos. No music please. Just good old Tubalcain.
Job Well done ,Mr Pete. No music needed. It will only distract .your voice is enough. Cheers from the Netherlands !
No music is part of the reason I enjoy your channel so much! Even though I know you hate to paint that bit of color looks good on that dynamo.Thank you for the videos, they are always entertaining!
I certainly prefer No Music, Its always good to Listen to a Good Educator. Great little Project and explained How Electricity is created. :)

Terrific series Lyle!. Thanks for all you do - it is greatly appreciated.
Like most others, I say NO music.

Same here. No music. Your videos are awesome just the way they are right now :D
great project and a great video series - no need for music, the way you explain things is amazing and many other videos rely on it far too often.
No music please, I love to hear your dulcet tones! Thank you for your videos Mr Pete, most entertaining.
Thanks for the series Mr Pete, I enjoyed it!

What an awesome video series-the engine and the dynamo. Wonderful! Please no music. We love your work as it is
I really think my viewers would like some good banjo music or rap music
You’re right! Perhaps you could write and perform, with a machined banjo in hand, your own “Toolbox Drawer” rap!
I would not want music.Thanks for all the great videos, they have been a great help for many projects
Excellent series. Thank you.
Wow that’s so awesome! It was very cool to watch this build! Beautiful!
Thanks

I noticed you don't have an iron strap connecting the outer ends of the magnets. the strap completes the magnetic path.
Have you tried one?
Nice looking and a good runner too!
Great series--I enjoyed watching it a lot..no music
Very enlightening video
No need for music
your voice is the only music we want to hear.. and how would we listen to your stories??
Very clean and snazzy. Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

Great little series of videos I might have to build one my self.
Nice project. Sorry about the late post.

+Mature Patriot yes, those magnets sure are annoying
Thanks for videos Mr Pete, I think the flickering could be eliminated by some capacitor and maybe worth to try.
I remember doing the same daisy chain shock thing with modern field phones in the army comms course. pressing the ringer button delivers a mean shock.
As far as the light flicker, have you tried putting a high value capacitor between the generator and the light.
I watched all seven of these videos. The end result looks really good and is far outside of my machining skills. But... Your machine doesn't use the magnetic flux very efficiently. A test to see if it can be improved can be performed by placing a small c-clamp from one magnet to the other while monitoring the output voltage. I think it would go up. If the c-clamp looks too bad you could build a flux-frame to carry the magnetic lines of force from one magnet to the other. Great channel with no music.
good job,what happened to starter/generators commonly found on old garden tractors
Lyle-could you do (or point us to where you have done) a series on making your own screw, nut, and bolt hardware from raw stock?
No music, but keep up the humor, Great project, Thanks
Great series but please no music.
I enjoy hearing your stories.
Thank you!
Oh, and no music.
I agree.
Nicely done Sir.
Just an idea about the "stikyness" of the magnets; if you put 2 more at right angles to your originals with those 2 hitting North north positions they will repel and thus cancel out the originals attrsaction force, so it will act as "free wheeling"
Thanks for another interesting series! I'm a bit confused by your asking if adding music would be a good idea. Most of your videos already have the best music there is - hit-and-miss engines, spinning lathes, mills in action, hammering, filing...what more could we ask for?
Great work keep them coming
Accordians or bag pipes ... or no music.Thanks for the great videos.
You have inspired me, love your videos, keep it up.
To stop the lights flickering use the dynamo to charge a capacitor. Similar to those wind-up torches.
Have you tried tweaking the commutator timing for better performance? Nice job. enjoyed it.
Many thanks for all your very interesting, informative and entertaining videos. Please DO NOT ruin them with music. It would only be a distraction.
I enjoyed you build very much. While I have a vague idea how motors work this helped me see the light. Ever wonder how much power these little engines produce? I built the pm research dymamo but instead of a light, used a resistor for load. By measuring the voltage across the resistor you get current and measuring the voltage at the dynamo power is calculated (P=IV). I feed both into analog to digital converter on an arduino development micro and wrote code to display on a little LCD screen. My little toy engine produced around 200 milliwatts. Of course that is just electrical power and does not account for mechanical losses. btw that is about 3 ten thousandths of a horsepower which I found entertaining.
Have you tried putting say a 100uf electrolytic capacitor across the light wires as a filter to help with the flicker?
Enjoyed the video. Please no music. Too many videos on You Tube block out and distract what the presenter is saying. I wish you had been my electric shop teacher. Mine was rather boring.
Thanks, for the video, liked the series and your stories please no music, keep up the good work.
Adding a capacitor to filter the output should help reducing flicked of the LEDs.
Wouldn't a flywheel on the dynamo help smooth it out and overcome the magnetic drag of the large magnets?
Thanks for all your projects. Gives us a feeling of well being in a troubled world. John 3:16. bobh
No music!
No music please. I am amazed that a person could make and engine and dynamo in a home shop and actually generate electricity. Your breed of multi skilled craftsman I think are becoming rare Tubalcain.
P. S. I like the paint job on the dynamo.
No music . Nice job on the Dynamo .
You could try to wire a capacitor across the leads to the light. Since it's pulsating DC, I bet it would smooth the ripple and your LED would be more steady. Just use an old condenser from a car if you have one.
Awesome Series👍👍!!
Put an electrolytic capacitor across the output leads.
It will cut down on the flickering.
I used this little trick on my Jensen
What better music than the cool sound of your tools, plus your witful anecdotes? However, if you want to use music some Bing Crosby, Al Bowley, Rose Mary Clooney, that would be awesome!!!
Thanks for another great build series. Music on a machine shop channel doesn't do anything for me. My 2 cents worth.
