- I Built An ElectroMagnet For Magnet Fishing
Watch more home made magnet videos HERE • DIY Magnet Fishing
So i decided to make an electromagnet using old microwave transformers and then use it to go magnet fishing.
This DIY project has taken a while to do due to working away alot but i've finally got it made and it works! i started by taking apart old microwaves and you need 3 microwave transformers do do this design.
Once i removed the microwave transformers i removed the copper wire that was not needed and reinstalled the bit of wound copper wire we need. Then i cut out a round metal plate and metal band and welded it in place to make the electro magnet body shape.
Once i tack welded the transformers into place i then put the eyebolt into place and welded that, wired the electromagnet and filled the body with fibreglass resin.
Once it was set it was a case of sand it down, paint it and add stickers to it. All i need now is a bigger power supply and away i go.
i will use the red engine crane to lift this in and out of the water and it will be amazing to see if it works underwater.

This takes magnet fishing to a whole new level, can't wait to see what you find with it. Great video.
Cheers mate im excited to
Hey man ever hear of D-WALT, LOL
Yes mate
Nice magnet!! 😎👍
Haha lol great video can’t wait for the testing of this lol 😆
Thanks George
You need to work out how much current each coil will draw. Measure the resistance of the winding with a simple multimeter, then, work out the current - current = Voltage/Resistance. Make sure the cable you're using can handle that amount of current, also, you'll need higher current rated cable as the voltage will drop over distance, reducing the efficiency of the electro magnets, plus, burn out the cable.
Neat idea though 👍
Or just throw it in the water and see if it breaks if it doesn't its good
Thats probably what will happen
I wish i new more about electronics to test this
@@drasticg I've no doubt it'll work, just that you may lose some of the efficiency from power loss. Then again, it could work a treat 👍 You can get simple multimeter's off Ebay for less than a tenner. 😉 I'm looking forward to see it working 🙂
Cheers mate
I love that magnet and cant wait to see it in action some great additions your adding to your hobby there gareth
Thanks darren
This is nothing short of amazing. I am lost for words. Phenomenal job! I can't wait to see what happens in the next stage of this project!
Thanks pal im goad you like it
Love this nice to see someone do something they love and show others you've been a big part in the magnet fishing scene keep up the good work fella
Cheers shaun i love this message
That is utter madness, Cannot wait to see this beast in action !
Thanks andy
I saw a TH-cam video yesterday about some seriously dedicated families of lardons who weigh a combiend 3,000lb (214 stone in real money). I thought that was dedication.
You've just upped the game.
Cheers pal
Blimey mate, you are turning into a Marvel baddie , The Magnet Marauder ......you'll have the Avengers after you soon!!!!
C'mon Lord B, they had long trousers , acne and their voices were nearly broken......a challenge enough for anyone!!! :-)))
Ha ha awesome comment
Ha ha
Wer also gone have his trousers down.
What a beast !!
Looking forward to what you can pull out Xx
Cheers pal
Great video, I can't wait to see it in action!
Thanks tom
You missed a critical step Gareth. First, Remove the fuse from the plug and then cut the plug off the wire. There will always be a plank who will plug it in if it is left alone.
I didnt use the microwave wiring so there is no plug on it
@@drasticg I mean the loose cable. When you get electricals that you are tearing down, just chop the plug off the mains cable. It stops muppets from plugging in bits of wire and getting shocks. The council here if you are getting them to take away a freezer or fridge ask you to chop the plug.
Ok
Very impressed!!
Can’t wait to see you test it mate 👍
Its will be exciting
first thing i thought of when I started watching the mag fishing vids was. lets build a electric mag small and big . Glad to see you have done it already
Cheers pal
That looks class can't wait to c it in action
Thanks pal
Hubby said thank you for showing how you made it but he's pretty sure it's more than we'll need to magnet fish. But with some of the finds you have it's going to be a must have. Like the motorcycle and scouters you recover. Great idea and inginuitive way to do it.
Thanks susan
You're quite welcome 😊. Keep the videos coming, love watching them.
Cheers
Brilliant work. I really enjoyed watching that
Thankyou it was a bit different
Awesome can’t wait to see it in action
I know jed i cant wait to
First thing you are going to find will be a microwave oven, guaranteed
Hs ha that would be funny
@Magna Carta thats my next build
@Magna Carta hope you hsd a nice weekend
HAHAH RIGHT!
Can’t wait to see what your gonna pull out with this 👍!
Cheers pal
Looks really cool!
Cheers
Now thats intuitive engineering, fan -bloody -tastic 👌🏻
Thankyou mate
Oh yessssss Drastic, we is going big time . Congratulations bro looking good, all this and genny on power barrow tracked chassis 👍
I cant wait to use it
Love the new magnet mate. Can't wait to see what you drag out of the deeps with that monster.
Cheers craig
Great video. Loved it. You're one of my favorites.
Great idea👍
Cheers
This...this is taking the word creative to a whole new level!!!
Pure Genius 👍
Thanks lol
Wow, so damn cool you really put some thought into this very impressed.
Thanks pal
Love the way u repurpose stuff
Wow! Some effort when’s into this one Gareth, looking forward to see you have a go with it . I can see an extension on the crane jib coming on .dont
forget plenty of counter weight like some big fat lads who’s been on the chips.Respect and good luck👏🏻❤️🧲.
Ha ha cheers mate
It would be very interesting to see if you were able to repair one of the macheties or maybe knives you have found
Can't wait to see it work, WOW.
Me to mwah ha ha
great work happy fishing 👍👍
Thanks angie
You absolute madman :D I can not see this go well at all, but damn if it isn't already great fun!
Ha ha it will be exciting using this for the first time
Nice one!
Cheers pal
That's very nice.
Can you make Electro Magnet for home defense? I would like to see something you can hide in door ways and sticks bad-guy to wall or floor.
sounds a good idea
@@drasticg All enemies have something metal. You make great invention you can add to school and churches for 100% security and safety.
hung around to the end, waitin' ta see ya try and throw that thing!
Will be testing it out soon
I can’t wait to see this in action 😍
Did not guess that !! Awsome cant wait to see it in action !!
Suprise lol
Cant wait to see some magnet fishing videos with that thing
Thanks pal
So cccccool! cant wati to see the video you use it!! Best of luck!
Thanks mate will be exciting
This is what you call creative and innovative.
Cheers james
drasticg No worries, mate. Where did you get your magnets from? I found stuff like this really interesting 👍
I get them from onlinemagnets or amazon
That makes getting mopeds a carparts out of the water easy! I'm curious what you will find using that. Sweet idea !!
Me to i csnt wait to find out
Yes Graham, go on my son. Whole new level league etc. Robomagnet next. 👍👍👍👍👍
*Gareth
Lol why did I put Graham
My name is gareth lol
Begins with a g lol
@@drasticg tiredness mate lol
Pretty clever 2 put that 2gether. Cant wait 2 c what u haul with that. Great vid again.
Thanka lisa
Nice one this video is very entertaining and interesting how you made that magnet
Thanks
Love these videos, you should do more of them 👍
I will try but its hard as i work away alot
"Grrrr you made enough money removing garbage from rivers to create a junk yard crane " . Lol.
I do t make much money but what i do make i re invest into the channel for everyones entertainment
At least your hobby is productive. Most people lack there.
Great job bro👍🏻cool stuff cheers & Big Respect👍🏻😎🇬🇧💚🌿👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks pal
Dude, that's fkn Amazing. Very impressed
Thanks pal
Wow, I am impressed. And can not wait to see what will come out of the channel ;)
Mate you are very smart man to make that very cool I can't wait to see you use it it might be better off on a boat with that crane
Cheers mate and i cant wait to test it in water
😀Hello Gareth I have my phone back yaaay data speed ! That is a Cool super magnet you made 😁 There's monster Trucks now..Gareths monster magnet ! Looking forward to video with that pulling out items Now you can pull out motor bikes better..and cars! 😊 SOOO COOL ! 😎 Take Care x🤗 Hugs ❤ ☮❤🕊 🌹🐝 😊
Cheers mary i cant wait to see what i pull out
Mary Wersonick seesex
This is such a great idea!!
Thankyou
Awesome stuff mate.
Thanks
Don't get that bad boy stuck to the side of the canal 😂 .... Really interested to see how this goes, great vid mate 👍🏻
Thanks pal
Just because life can be a bit shit sometimes, I recommend keeping an appropriate fire extinguisher as part of this new kit. Hopefully you'll never need it.
Really cool gareth
Thankyou
great video as always and you should create a you tube support group on your you tube channel as well maybe. cant wait to see what you pull out with that magnet.
now u got a big magnet awesome ,u can do a lot of things and build them to love watching u build things my friend good luck finding more things
Thanks mate
Helen Australia 🇦🇺
Wow.....
I'm impressed.....
Looking forward to seeing It in action.....
Obviously level 3....Lol
No strain on your body...
O H Saftey....
🐨🐾🐾🐾🐾
Safety might be questionable lol
I wish I had the knowledge & abilities you do.
oh awesome. this should be fun and very helpful. now you need to attach it to a boat and drive around the canal haha
also honda makes a good size cheapish generators if you are looking around for one
Ha ha id love a boat
Thanks for the tip
This is almost exactly what I hoped you were building! I was thinking of a grapple instead of a magnet. Couple questions: how will you keep it on the tow path and out of the canal? And is it waterproof?
Ive not tried to see if its waterproof yet and i will have to carry it down with my crane
I was wondering along the lines of counterweights and/or anchors. Obviously you don't want to sink something into the stone of the tow path but maybe an anchor point well back in the grass (where available) might keep you, your magnet, and your crane above water level.
Yes mate top idea thsnkyou
Brilliant
That line marking spray will come off straight away , it's not a permanent paint that's why it's used on roads and stuff you need proper yellow spray paint with a clear primer to protect it.
Cheers for the tip i will sort it out before i get it wet
That's crazy, what a great vid highly enjoyable to watch as usual
Watching from Australia
Thankyou and hope you both are well
Awesome video can't wait to see what that big mother pulls out ⚡👍👍
Me to mate
Look forward to seeing it tested. God speed with the generator set up.
Cheers mate im nervous sticking 24pv through this lol
You know what your'e about. We can see your'e a practical man & wouldn't go off half cocked on a project. .
Cheers
Very good...I have one of these I converted to a single electromagnet the only problem is these microwave transformers are designed to work with mid ac voltage 120 not 12 volts DC.. mine were 5 times stronger using ac...or connect your dc batteries (at least 3 minimum) in series...
Pull the Titanic up with that lol
Probably
Gareth Im speechless, Best of luck with it mate
So you finally done it, nice one
Cheers
Good work son cant wait to see it getting used, going luck on your first test.👍👍👍
Cheers mate appreciate it
How do you know which coil out of the transformer to use?
I want to make a single one just the clean up all the metal slivers from cutting grinding.... on the bench, floor...
Follow the video and it shows you mate
Your new youtube new in the making. Magnetron fishing.. I’m new to your channel. You got me hooked now.👍🏽😀
Col and welcome to the channel
drasticg 👍🏽😊
No problem
Well done sir. That thing is a beast. Be careful you don't try to pull piping that is supposed to be there out of the canals.
I will try not to
shrink wrap means pro :) ordered fibre glass welding blanket to make a bulletproof vest lol, splash it all over like Brut 33, love the vid mate
Brut ha ha do they even selll that any more
@@drasticg brut 33 of course, lol not .smelled like sheep piss
Ha ha
You could purchase some anodized transformer wire and make your own coils for those transformer cores, would be a hell of a lot more powerful but overheating may be a problem
Thanks for the tip
I wired mine in parallel and used a 36 volt golf cart charger. Very powerful.
At least you won't have to worry about the heat generated.
Fantastic mate keep going these vids are boss,, from liverpool 🖒🖒
Thanks tom appreciate it
Wow that's mint mate
Cheers mate
Could you build a "Trebuchet " to throw the magnet now . hha ha ha
Ha ha
Awesome Gareth mate i can't wait to see that in action its going to be good :))
Cherrs derek i cant wait either
This video is like ASMR heaven
Thanks
Keep up the good work bro love the content
Cheers levi
I never even knew this was a thing until I came across ur vids, very cool- u have a new subscriber :)
Awesome thanks for supporting my channel
Good video nice project
Thanks jordan
Great video bud keep up the hard work
Cheers pal will do and have a good evening
Hello. I used 12 volts and 12.5 currents. It got too hot after 20 minutes of operation. If I lower the current value, would I use it longer? Will I experience a decrease in my usage power? How much current should I use at most?
sorry im no expert at electronics
Oh wow you plan on pulling up the Titanic? Lol 😀 You need to bring that to the US and clean our water ways . Can't wait to see how good it works .
Thanks pam and are your waterways as poluted as ours
@@drasticg yes they are and it's a shame that people are like that , But on the other hand we wouldn't be watching and learning from great people like you cleaning them up thank you.
Thanks pam, the more people that magnet fish the more our waterways get cleaner
Cool great video again
Thanks charlie
Great job i can not waiht to see a video wiht this project in working 🤩
Cheers mate appreciate it
@Drasticg So what do you do as a job? and where do you work? was it you doing the welding etc...?
Yes thats me welding and im a welder in the army
Thats Awsome, i thought you looked like you are in good shape i can tell your a strong guy! iv wanted to join the army for the past two years, started riding a pushbike again and joined a local gym to sort my fitness out again, once i have sorted my fitness out im going to open my application up again, i applied to be tank crew men, they told me i have 2-3 years to get things sorted and decide if i wanna re-apply ;) we will see!
Go for it mate, the army will soon get you fit and its a good career
Haha, I spy the Colin Furze book 👍, you’ll using this to dangle from your workshop roof before we know it!
I love colin furze his work is sick
Really cool video my friend
Thanks tom
