Many people collect and restore old engines and in the process discover that the old iron magnets in the magneto have lost most or all of their magnetism. Without a healthy spark, the engine won't run. Here, Dave will show you how to build a device to recharge these old magnets. It's certainly not a novel invention. What Dave has done is show you how to build a proven device from currently available materials, and at low cost.
You can recharge old magneto magnets, and create new iron magnets for experimental purposes. This will not recharge newer alnico, samarium, and similar alloy magnets since these need an enormous magnetic impulse beyond the capabilities of this machine. And beside these newer magnets usually don't go 'dead' like 'plain' ones. Dave will show you how a magneto works, how to test one, how the magnetizer works and will show you in detail how to build one. He'll give you all the tricks on building the base, winding the coils, building and testing the power supply, and, of course, on using the machine. You can build this machine quickly and inexpensively. Dave will show you how to avoid what few problems you might encounter.
Great for engine restorers, science experimenters, or even as a science fair project. Maybe you can magnetize that bolt in your neck so you can attract beautiful women. Another great how-to manual from master builder, Dave Gingery. Order a copy today.
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, but I was hoping somebody might be able to help me out. I'm trying to find out what the simplest wiring diagram is for getting a magneto (like running off an engine) to produce electricity for running lights (head, tail, et al).
Briefly, I'm working on building a powerful electro-magnet that I'll be using to. The core of the magnetizer was not laminated as the flux was not changing. Per the manual, this machine was capable (depending on the circuit impedance), of.
I just need to know the order of how the components of how should be assembled and a brief explanation of what each does and how they benefit the entire circuit in the end. (magneto, rectifier, regulator, bulb, et al).
Thanks everyone, Vasile. Hello Vasile, I'm sorry, but after long and careful consideration by the Board staff members, a decision was recently made to prohibit all discussions of motor vehicle related projects on this board. This is due to the real safety hazards and potential legal issues that may be involved when people who were not specifically trained as automotive electrical engineers make recommendations for people who are not specifically trained and certified to build and install automotive-type projects.
The only recommendation that we can make is to have your vehicle professionally maintained just as it was originally configured when delivered by the dealer, as at that time it was in compliance with all safety, transportation department regulations and emissions laws. This policy may sound a bit over-restrictive, but it was the only logical decision that could be arrived at. I am not a member of the staff here, but I wholeheartedly agree with their decision.

You can click on the thumbnail and it'll take you to photobucket where I have the full picture uploaded. I have tried other such biker forums, but I figured I'd try a circuits forum as well.I think it's an M72 Ural from the 1950s.
'The pic of the bike is rather small, but it does appear to have a headlight - if it does, what type is it - a carbide lamp?' .I don't know exactly, the bulb is missing, but it's supposed to have a lo-hi beam bulb-in-one, incandescent I think 'BTW - is that a hole in the piston or just a carbon deposit?' .it is just a carbon deposit, but I feared it was a hole too the first time I saw it. 'They are not intended to produce any real amout of power and connecting even a small lamp would simply stop the engine as there would be no spark.' .Well, it's got two points where the ignition wires would connect and then there's a red wire coming out of the side of the casing. I figure this is the positive from a mini step-down transformer inside, since you can just use the chassis of the bike as a ground.
Click to expand.a relative of mine is working with GE erecting 140 wind turbines for the Fantanele and Cogealac windfarm projects in Romania. In Constanta county. She says the project and others are shutting down for no apparent reason and most all are scrambling to get back to the states. As of late all the locals' attitudes have turned ugly towards Americans. Might be something to do with the missile thing. This and the dirt cloud thing has raised the anxiety level for her.
I hope all ends well for her, and for you also.
