This is a very old generator "magneto" for phone calls.This is my moost expensive restoration, it cost me 40 euro.
A telephone magneto is a hand-cranked electrical generator that uses permanent magnets to produce alternating current from the rotating armature.In early telegraphy magnnetos were used to power instruments, while in telephony they were used to generate electrical current to drive electromechanical ringer in telephone sets and on operaor consoles.
I hope you like it this restoration, if you want to send me someting to restore please let me know!

@PilotMcbride 4 года назад

Thanks for this. Similar units to these were still in use back when I was doing my apprenticeship in the 70s. It was part of our job to refurbish them. They were located in remote railway signal locations and used on a party line to call the signal box, railway stations or other signal locations using a call code. The units we worked on had a make/break button (press to make) and depending who you were calling depended on the (simple) code you rang out, controlling sig box was usually a long ring and other sig locations were a series of short rings. As a (very young) kid our farm had a party line as well and our code was 1 long + 3 short (B), next farm was 1 long + 1 short + 1 long (K), over the back was R and up the road was H. Exchange was 1 long, but without the make/break button, had to do it with the handle, generally 3 turns long, 1 turn short. Was great to see them again, brought back many great memories Thanks & Cheers 🇦🇺 🍺🍺

@martyjehovah 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing, I was wondering about a timeframe for the use of these, I was thinking they fell fully out of use much earlier like the '50s or so, it's very cool to learn that this old tech stayed kicking in some capacity all the way up into the '70s. Side note, I couldn't help but wonder if that "98" on the bottom might mean 1898. Probably not, it looks like some sort of manufacture or inspection code, but it's still a neat thought.

@laszlofyre845 4 года назад

The signalbox DC autophones were an easier bet! No frantic winding, just press the code on one of four buttons (IIRC, red, black, green or white. Remember them? Our local 'box was two short presses on black). Incidentally, I worked in a shop in 73 that had 2 branches 1/4 mile apart, and we had a direct line between the two worked by these.

Fabulous restoration!!! Reminds me of a similar device I made in my high school (1968) Physics class. I went to a progressive all-girls high school at a time when it was rare for girls to take such classes. We made an a.m. radio. I very clandestinely threw a wooden thread spool with loosely wrapped copper wire out the second story classroom window, shimmied up a steel beam and secured the copper wire to the top of the bus awning for an antenna. Got 2 different stations! Thanks for the great memories!!

Lots of work to make it beautiful. To avoid damaging the insulating laquer on coiled copper wires, they sell an electric motor cleaning spray, but the best way is dusting and dry paint brush, with mild soapy water if neccesary to clean grease. Many solvent sprays will eat the clear coat protection on the coils, especially old ones. Cool video. I'm subscribing!

@elmariachi5133 5 лет назад

I don't think it's impractical. If you watch the old movies, you can see, that all it took was about one seconds of twisting that thing, for making a call. The rest had to be done by the operator. And it's more environmentally friendly. Image all the applications that Grumpy John listed, plus even more he didn't write down, used by billions of people world wide - that would save the need for some nuclear plants. Also it has the big bonus, of being independent, in case of power failures, that's especially important for making emergency calls. With today's IP based telephony, the non availability of emergency calls leads to an increasing number of casualities. There are already statistics about this problem. The whole IP infrastructure is notoriously unreliable, and using this for emergency situations is like setting a fox to keep the geese.

@ct92404 5 лет назад

Telephone magnetos can generate up to 100 volts, or even more with bigger 5-bar ones. And you don't even have to crank it that fast. Not only are they a cool display as an antique, but I can definitely think of a lot of practical uses! Hook up a small gas engine to it (like maybe even a weed eater engine) and you have a very light, portable emergency generator. Connect a rectifier to convert the output to DC, and you can use it to recharge batteries, power a radio, etc.

@sincerelyyours7538 5 лет назад

Did you verify the poles of the magnets before repainting the black ends? I believe the black ends identified one of the poles (North or South), the end not painted black the other pole. If you mix them up the magnets will cause bucking currents within the coils and reduce your voltage and power output.

@trs-80fanclub12 5 лет назад

just think, I have a working TA-312 army field phone that has a tiny version of this inside its shell. Its old and will still knock the &^%$ out of a person holding the wires. I bet this thing could pulse a phone 20 miles away, so if its a novelty it can still rock you given the size of the magnets

@isodoubIet 5 лет назад

He didn't. At around the 13 minute mark you see the three magnets were stuck together, which means the middle one was marked with the opposite polarity to the outside ones.

@Fogmeister 5 лет назад

@ct92404 5 лет назад

He should hook up a multimeter to it and test the output voltage. Even a small magneto like that should generate at least 70 volts with enough current to light up a small, low-wattage incandescent light bulb. Actually, you have to be kind of careful playing around with magnetos because they can give you a nasty little shock!

This ist a really nice restoration again, but i was wondering if the center Magnet may be not correctly oriented. When the black paint marking is applied, the magnets stuck to each other, which should not be the case as the magnets must have equal field orientation for operation in this generator. When the magnets e.g. north poles are getting marked black, the poles should have repelled and would need to be forced to stay side by side. If they stuck together as seen in the video the orientation would be NSN or SNS. video at 13:26

Make a module that has a capacitor bank that feeds a 5v step down converter, that powers a female USB port :) Good luck though, although it would work, it will take a very long time to charge a cell phone. Also, the difficulty in turning will be related to the amount of current supplying, so you will probably need to add an inline resistor before the capacitor bank to keep the handle from being totally locked up when the capacitors are uncharged.

I know here in the states Harbor Freight makes this vibration machine that comes with different size and shape ceramic beads that are for polishing. www.harborfreight.com/5-lb-metal-vibrator-tumbler-67617.html I don't know if you have anything like Harbor Freight in Europe but I'm sure you can find something. And I have no doubt you will be celebrating 1million subscribers one day. You do some awesome work.

@@TysyTube Pretty easy to make a tumbler but if you want a polished finish look into making a wet tumbler. People that reload often wet tumble their spent brass and it makes it look almost new. Might get on some gun forums to look around for ideas.

@@TysyTube If you can find a small rock tumbler or make one, I put small brass or rusted steel pieces in mine with a few handfulls of small steel ball bearings and very short clippings of wire, along with a bit of hot soapy water. It removes a lot of rust and leaves brass gleaming, and doesnt harm pieces or make them look too new

Send it to ElectroBoom so he can put it on his scope.

Beautiful restoration! Just me personally, I would have left the wood enclosure with the original stain, but cleaned it a bit. Just one of the things I love about wood is its great ability to tell the story of the machine.

The comment by Y B below is correct. I was a telephone technician for more than 20 years, and winding one of these sent alternating current down the phone wires to make the phone bell ring. The voltage that it generated would have been around 80-volts. Because a phone bell is operated by 2 electro-magnets, it requires alternating current to make them operate in turn, making the bell ring. Once the ringing has stopped, a telephone operates on around 48-volts DC during normal conversation.
