Build a Magneto Magnetizer

by Dave Gingery

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. Geez! Maybe you can magnetize that bolt in your neck so you can attract beautiful women. Well... maybe not.
