  • @halonothing1
    @halonothing1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    One thing a lot of channels with experiments about inductors fail to mention is that your wire can't be ferromagnetic. I had a lot of confusion and frustration when I tried to make my first inductor coil out of steel wire and all that happened was the magnet stuck to it. Enamel coated wire doesn't seem a common thing to be able to find at any places I've checked, surplus hardware stores, department stores like Walmart and the equivalent etc. And I had a lot of trouble winding coils with stranded copper wire because it doesn't hold its shape it all, so I went with the only solid core wire I could find, which was steel. I'm not even sure it was meant for electronics since it was found with a variety of fasteners and such. So partly my fault, but partly because not a single thing I've ever read about making these or how they work mentions anything about how the wire NEEDS to be copper. Or at least not magnetic.

    I liked this video because it shows a way to generate electricity anywhere even if in small quantities sufficient only to power small circuits. Therefore, I would ask if in one of your next videos you can build a low-price permanent magnet generator that produces 5- 10 watts. I think it could be a nice project, the generator may be operated with a crank or water or wind turbine and can be usefull in emergency situation or for power devices like smartphone where there isn' t electricity . You might explain how make the coils and how the output current must be menaged.
    I'm sorry for my english.

  • @dmz93
    @dmz93 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Perhaps instead of stacking magnets together like on the video, you could force them with glue so that they repeal each other also with some distance between them. This way magnetic flux would change faster in respect to the coil. I am assuming that poles of your magnets are on top and bottom of the cylinder. I wonder if this could be improvement to your design.
    And to soften the impact at ends of tube, maybe another magnets with opposite polarity to the main one?

  • @FlyingShotsman

    +GreatScott! Did you choose the length of the coil on the pipe (the measurements at 1:08) for any particular reason, other than ease of winding? Would you not achieve higher pulse width if the coil were longer? Does the magnet need to completely exit the coil at each end?
