Your first decision is to identify the type of magnetos you want to re-charge, HT or LT. How wide will the magnet bars be. What will your power source be. You can then design your charger to meet these criteria. If you want to use 12 volts and really zap a large magneto then the Rex size will be more appropriate than the Gingery.

No idea if this of any use to anyone or even if it works but when I came across the link by chance I thought I should pass it along to those REAL DIY'ers out there that tinker with the real magical parts! 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 from master builder, Dave Gingery. Corel video studio x9 serial key. Order a copy today. 8 1/2 x 11 booklet 36 pages No. Hi, My friend and I just did this. We bought the book, did research and actually built one. With the price of copper wire, it is not cheap. The copper wire alone will run you about US $200.

Then you have to wind two coils, built the rest of the electronics and make the conductors. If you can not wind the coils yourself expect to pay big dollars to have someone wind them for you.

My suggestion is to find someone who has the equipment and pay them to do it for you. We did it because of the challange. Also my friend is a electronic genuis so he did all the real work. This is not spam or advertisement as we are not really into doing this for others. Harris Re: Build a Magneto Magnetizer 03/13/08 3:02 am 03/13/08 3:02 am Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,348.
