Great video, building a magnetizer has been on my list of things to do for quite a while.

Its been some time my friend since you posted any video's .hope all is well with you!.....see you soon I hope

I was already having a great day, and this video made it even better. One of my favourite channels, without a doubt. Many thanks. 🇬🇧👍

The magnetizer works great! Always glad to see a new video from you.

Amazing, Richard. Outstanding old-school knowledge for an interested, pleasant young man who is ready to share it with others. And now, pleeeease, show us how to re-magnetize a magnet-flywheel from an old motorcycle or stationary engine. I am going to travel to Sweden this summer. Hope to meet you there. Hälsningar från Tyskland.

Excellent, the magnet is a key part of the mag and often completely ignored. 👍👍

Thank you for sharing you magnetizer build and test with us. What a cool video!

Gday, I’ve always wondered how to make a magnetiser, great results, thanks for sharing, cheers

Awesome work, Richard. Thanks a lot for yours videos. I hope you are OK. All of us are waiting for yours new project.

Very good video Richard!!! What you cover is almost lost knowledge these days. I've got to make one of those chargers now! Thank you!

Hi, thank you for being nice to me! Hope i didn't run you off and discourage you from making new videos. Im sorry for my stupid texts. Don't pay my stupid texted any attention and keep making awesome viddos! You my favorite person on youtube and watching your videos makes me happy! Burton

I've cranked this thing more than it's ran on its own, that was funny! Thanks!

Always feels like a video from the 1940's - excellent content!

Very interesting. Too bad I didn't have this information back in 1958 when I had an old Cushman motor scooter with a magneto that was hard to start.

Such a simple solution to a real issue around these old Magneto units. Great build as well using safe voltages that almost anyone can do.

This is one gem of a channel, I’m so glad I found it!

Nicely done. Since you are using an old and powerless battery the current through the magnet is mainly determined by the current source capability of the battery, not the wire resistance. Given the spark on your switch when you disconnect the current, the current is really low. You are using thick and heavy wire but you have plenty of space around your cores. You if you would double the number of windings, the current would remain more or less the same, but the magnetic field would almost double as well. If it also makes your magneto magnet stronger is determined whether the cores of your magnet become saturated, and when the magnet itself is saturated. Measuring the saturation of your magnet could be done by measuring the field and note when it does not increase anymore when the current or winding count increase. If that would be of interest at all. In any case, saturation of the cores do not harm the functionality or the quality of the field.

Always interesting to learn about old things 😎👍

My uncle had a couple of those engines. I was probably 10 years old and we mounted one on a drag with a saw rig to cut fire wood . His always started and ran good. Uncle Odd was a wizard with engines. I miss him dearly.

Richard another really interesting video. I wait for your videos constantly. Thank you for your professionalism.

Another nice video for lovers of old machines. Thanks, very interesting.

Ingenious, Mr. Richard !

Great episode, some great information about remagnetising mags. 👍😎

Richard, I really enjoy the videos. I have a magnetizer built by Allen and it has several steel blocks with different angles that lay on top of the magnet charger poles for charging round magnets in flywheels and armature magnets. Keep up the good work!

That's the best explanation and demonstration of magnetos I've ever seen. You took the mystery out of it for me. Keep up the good work. Many thanks.

Great illustration of knowledge.

Very enjoyable! Thanks for posting.

What a great video, very informative. And that engine is a little sweetie! Wow, that runs smoothly! Thanks for sharing!

I think even Michael Faraday would be proud of that magnetic monster! Have you seen his original electromagnet at the Royal Institution? I've seen magnetos where people have stuck neodymium magnets onto the poles in an effort to boost the magnetic field. Now, when I was still in school, which is a long time ago, we were taught to place a keeper across the ends of the poles. The purpose of which is to complete the magnetic circuit, which in turn would preserve the magnetic field density - a couple of large bolts, or a piece of steel bar would suffice. Once replaced into the magneto, the pole pieces and the rotor were sufficient to maintain the circuit. The rule of thumb was never to leave magnets without a keeper in place.

As usual Richard, a very interesting and informative video, thoroughly engrossing! 👌👏

Ooooh I like so much you share this kind of knowledge quite lost today. Thank you!! ⭐️

Excellent. Best video on KZfaq. Finally someone who gives useful information and how to do it.

Thank you! This is by far the most simple and easy to understand video on magnetizers I have seen. I'm ready to build one for my own shop.

Absolutely brilliant! Best wishes from George

Never had anything to do with magnetos but they do seem very simple, thanks for a great video once more.

This is a brilliant video. I have many pieces of equipment that I have sold because I could not get the Magneto to work. If I had realized it was possible to repair the magnets I would have done so long ago. Thank you so much for sharing this

Thank you for another interesting video.

great video, good explenation with easy to understand steps, thanks for another quality upload!

I like the engineering on that engine. I wish things could be engineered like that now. Thank you sir.

What a great informative film thankyou. I have a ransomes mg6 crawler which i could never get started until i closed the plug gap right up and now i know why. Many thanks from Australia.

Hi Richard, Thank you for a very interesting video, I loved it. Glad to see you put that Wrigley truck to good use already. Take care my friend.

Now this is a great video, I've learnt something valuable as my 1909 IHC motor has never had a really healthy spark. Many thanks

The old machines had a sense of purpose without some difficulty we get now. Hearing that slow sure idle was a treat.i completely enjoyed this video. Top jobsir.

I am always so impressed with your work! Keep it up love the videos.

Awesome information that is one cool machine, thank you for sharing

Awesome to see you back at the videos. This was truly informative and hope you continue to create these learning videos in the future.. Thank you !!

That’s a great idea!!! Great job!!!

C'mon Rich! The harvest season is over. Time to get some steam punk, badass videos on youtube that your known for! Love you always, Burton Reingold

It’s a cool motor like to see it working thanks for sharing

You have shown a hole lot of people how to build a very inexpensive magneto changer.l love your Chanel and wish that you made more videos. Keep up the amazing work.

Excellent video. Thank you for making it. 😊

Excellent video. Very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks Richard Absolutely interesting 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Well Done. It is amazing how much you increased the magnetic force of the magnet by remagnetizing it. I believe tapping the magnet with the brass “hammer” assists the repositioning of the field/pole molecules in the magnet. Thanks for another interesting and informative vlog.

A very helpful video where you showed how to build an electro-Magnetizer In my deutz engine, I attached magnets from the car starter to the magneto. And it worked too Greetings from Poland 😉

Jättekul att se dina filmer igen! Det ser ut att vara kul hemma hos dig med alla gamla maskiner 😃

Nicely done

Thank you for another fantastic video!

LOOKIN' GOOD,NICE WORK...

Wow this is So Cool I have to do that on my old Harley!

Hi from the USA, I like your channel, it is like going back in time

Nå lærte jeg meg noen gode triks fra deg..,om hvordan friske opp svake magneter på mine gamle motorer. Super bra video. Tusen takk 😃

Very interesting and educational video , I never knew how to bring them back to life ! 😉

👍👌👏 2) Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge , I enjoyed your video very much . 🇦🇺

Superb video and very entertaining. Best wishes for many more great videos from Canada.

Despite all that, keep up the good work. Agree with your videos and like your channel as one of my first and favorite R.

Thank you! I am running a few Gravely tractors which use WICO magnetos. Im going to investigate how i can refresh the field of the magnets.

I'm really loving these video's! Looking forward to your next upload!

Your videos are getting better and better as you are gaining confidence in front of a camera

Super helpful video, for years I've been searching for a 1-8hp hot bulb ignition or hot tube ignition oil engine. Hopefully someday I find one...

Great video thanks, but I would change those old HT leads.

Add a diode across each coil, to avoid sparking at the switch so much. The collapsing field is making a voltage spike, a backward diode will short out the back EMF, problem solved.

Simple as that. Thanks for the video.

Looking forward to you're next video😊

I never thought I would see someone rebuilding a magneto!

Gentleman, your toy is impressive, I was born and raised in the gasoline and diesel industry, but I have never seen one of your engines before, which I love to see at my 71 years of age, most kind of you for sharing this outstanding engine and technical information with us, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.

ALWAYS INTERESTED IN THE OLD IRON. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, THANKS FROM OVERLAND PARK KANSAS U.S.A.

Excellent, great, the best!

So nice video, greetings from your fan in Argentina!!!

Interesting, Informative and a successful d demonstration at the end. What more could we ask for. 👍

Very nice demonstration 👍👍🇺🇸

Good morning I just watched your video on your tractors feel pumped it broke down I'm a 65 year old man from Wisconsin I live in a mobile home park and the people here already think I'm crazy I need a tractor like that But I don't really need one but I sure do want 1 Thanks for your videos they're very entertaining

Great job. Now new leads.

Just like mustie1 I had to started it again good job Richard

new subscriber, stumbled upon your channel. what fantastic content. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with yesterdays machines.

GREAT LESSON, THNX

My first youtube channel subscription and still the best! Keep up the great work! Amazing videos wildman.

I’m boutta spend hours watching your videos😂 I love older stuff like my 1977 ke125, it’s the same year my dad was born. So to me you’re videos are beyond amazing! and I hope to influence others just like this one day.😁

That was very informative.

Thanks for demonstrating this process. It is what I consider to be a good solution to a problem: simple yet very effective. At any rate, It reminds me of when I used to work for a company that used a lot of magnets in their products. The "magnets" arrived from the manufacturer in the unmagnetized state (I don't know what you call a magnet before it has been magnetized, I suppose there is a word for that.). The reason they came this way is that unmagnetized magnets are much easier and safer to handle and can be more easily machined if necessary. So, we had a device called a "magnet charger" which was used to magnetize the unmagnetized magnets. You put the unmagnetized magnet in the machine, pushed the button, something inside the machine went "click", and instantly the magnet became a full fledged, fully magnetized magnet. Just like that. I always thought it was kind of magical.

Great vid as always, Richard. That twin cylinder sounds magical😄

Mycke interessant Ricard! Jag giller dine videos, och dit sät at forklare på. Tack från Danmark

Love you, love your videos.

This was a very interesting video, did not know you could do this.

A great device Thank you for the Video Take care yours Frank Galetzka

Hi from Ontario (Canada). Many years ago I worked on a system for magnetizing the magnets for high end audio loudspeakers. The machine had banks of large capacitors joined in series-parallel capable of charging to 1200 Volts and delivering a 1000 amp pulse through magnetizing coils placed around the magnet cores. The cables to the coils were about 25mm in diameter and jumped like angry snakes when the capacitor banks were discharged. People with pacemakers were not allowed near it when in operation. The stray EMP would destroy watches, computer drives and magnetic credit/bank cards.

I will remeber this for my Terrot 250 1932, that I am restoring. thanks

Great video Richard👍👍👍 see you next time

Very informative thank you
