Your effort into these videos is clear and much appreciated. This is one of the channels I always recommend when someone asks me about these subjects. Keep it up and have an awesome day!
I’m getting ready to mount 28 X 250W solar panels on my 40’ shipping container. I can build anything, plumb it and run basic electrical but have such a hard time with all this. Even 20 years ago taking “Maintenance exams” for work, the electrical part just doesn’t set into my brain. Thank dog for the internet and mostly as of late, Engineering Mindset. Thanks.
THANK YOU! I love that you use practical things that we use in our everyday lives to explain this. I watched a few videos before this and it didn't make any sense. This video is AMAZING short and sweet but seriously helped me along a class I am taking that started randomly using AC/DC acronyms assuming I know anything about it which I do not.
I would argue that saying that DC can be converted to AC is misleading. Does it alternate? Sure. But is it a pure sine wave, no! It is simulated via steps, meaning how long a “gate” is activated. The more steps, the closer it resembles an pure sine wave, but it is not one.
Sir good day...I am the one of your youtube subscribers, I always watched your knowledgeable videos thank you sir for sharing us your knowledge. Can you make a video sir about automotive ignition system ( primary coil attached from battery other end to a transistor inside the computer or the ignition coil itself which have a transistor incorporates into ground to on/off circuit) (2nd coil is attached to ground other end is to the spark plug) now I wondering why the current flows through spark plug gap to produce spark where their is a gap represents resistance open loop. And the current is always flow through less resistance,now why current will flow to gap rather than to the end of a 2nd coil that is being attached directly to ground where their's less resistance? Thank you sir hope you will answer this question...god bless
I know how to not get shocked on low voltage. And how circuit logic would theoretically pan out. I regularly have to replace compressors for work, and other stuff like that, refurbishing certain machines. Trouble shooting the fairly basic power distribution for the AC to DC portion was really slow. Luckily last time I had trouble, I knew the Board took DC, while the other mechanical parts took the AC. So I just had to follow the paths, and make sure I knew exactly were to touch with the meter, when I flipped on the power. It was a bad transformer last time. Not the fuses. It took me an hour of running through the logic before I was confident I was correct. I was. Fun. So fun. I probably could have used this then.
A question for Paul or anyone smarter than I... I have an obscure home heater that was never actually produced other than the initial one month run before the company went under. (a parts nightmare).It's 100% 12V via an onboard inverter with the idea that it can be run on a battery backup system. Problem: I need to replace a 7-inch diameter pull style fan that currently runs @ 12V/1.8amps... I can find many 'replacements' that offer the needed CFM but are rated at about 7 amps (Automotive cooling fans). The trouble is that my fan is controlled by the main circuit board which offers 3 speeds with the highest being what I would assume is a "full current" meant for the 1.8 amp original p.o.s... Will adding a fan with a larger amp rating fry my little circuit panel? Any insight or suggestions would be awesome. Getting COLD in Wisconsin. :)) **I COULD run (and would almost prefer to run) a fan with a separate power supply and a motor speed control, but would then I would need to know how to "fool" the panel into thinking the original is still in place, as the board goes into some sort of safety mode when the factory fan is disconnected, which might be the easier solution.
@@EngineeringMindset I would really appreciate if you described why the current changes direction in a alternativ current. Is it something with the field lines? I understand moving the magnet in and out causes a AC, buy now when the magnet is spinning
@@EngineeringMindset I watched that video, but on the other hand, I really didn't understand why the current switched direction when the magnet came close and then the opposite
@@EngineeringMindset It is because the magnet has a north and south pole, almost like a negative and positive charge which, either pushes the electrons out when it is the negative side of the magnet but attracts when it is the positive charge?
You're not dumb, to succeed just study non stop for hours a day. Use Anki on your computer or phone to help you memorize. Anyone can learn anything through repetition.
Is it true that AC has more voltage and more powerful, DC has less voltage, less powerful. Is it possible to have DC with 230 voltage and AC 9 Voltage?
Absolutely. We don't generally do that because Current tends to drive torque, but it also drives losses. So, for DC devices, we deliver with VERY high voltage AC (cheap to deliver) and easy to down volt) and then power devices with a more balanced mix of Current and Voltage to get the motor characteristics we want (not everything is motor based... but a lot is).
The ocean tide goes up a d down but keep going forward,AC goes back and forward and doesnt goes anyway.that why it turn everything very hot and destroy all wires abd device so fast.it is the best for manipulate current flow in other to do something else but for send electricidad is not good.the fact today is used on it doesnt mean is the best.current flow direction is where ever u send it using this AC tecnic but electrón flow is another thing.cant be transformed.

I'm impressed with how you manage to explain all this in just 3 minutes without and stress. Awesome channel!

Can I ask, 8 months later, how is it going?
Seen our new video on HOW SOLAR PANELS WORK in detail th-cam.com/video/Yxt72aDjFgY/w-d-xo.html
Dog always takes care of you 🙏🏻

This was the best explanation I’ve found on youtube after more than a decade of watching videos. Nice work!

As usual, clear concise information. thank you
Appreciate you sir someone can explain this but no one explains pass you
As a olelvel student its very helpful. Thank you. It's very easy to understand ❤
🤯Thank you😩These vidios are handing me keys.
You are a legend, sir.
I am 35 and I never understood this concept, no matter how many times anyone tried to explain me... Until now. This is my TIL moment. Thank you!!!
Thank you very much. Very informative.
It help me a lot to understand electricity
Clearly explained. Thanks
this is such a incredible explanation awesome, before i watch video i was press a like!
Thank you for good explanation🙂🙂
Thank you, it's very easy to follow along!
THANK YOU!
your video make it clearer than my teacher did lmao
Thank you for sharing
What a genius 🎉🎉🎉
thank you for this video
I finally understand the band

But, it does alternate. So AC.
Thanks for sharing
You don't explain why AC > DC in certain applications. AC = alternating current, so what?
HIGH! VOLTAGE! Rock n Roll!
Can you also do an AC/DC basics too? 😅

Nice 👍🙏
Is there any chance you could do a video on harmonics?
Electronic circuits use direct current (dc)
Electrical circuits use alternating current (ac)
Explain automotive can bus, please
What about input vs output current ?
hi bro beee first chapter basic principles of electricty one video chea bro

If someone could please tell me why alternating current happens in a generator???
Please see our generator basics video, it will be clear

Potaxio
"Rectifier" pfft "FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER" You've got to say it right. :)
Damn, I’m dumb.😩
Not if you’re here learning
😂at least ur honest
Go see how microchips are made if u think this is complicated lolol prepare to be mindblown.

Does the car power wire supply dc?
Is it true that AC has more voltage and more powerful, DC has less voltage, less powerful. Is it possible to have DC with 230 voltage and AC 9 Voltage?
Yes. First invert the DC to AC. Then use a transformer to get your desired voltage.
Absolutely. We don't generally do that because Current tends to drive torque, but it also drives losses. So, for DC devices, we deliver with VERY high voltage AC (cheap to deliver) and easy to down volt) and then power devices with a more balanced mix of Current and Voltage to get the motor characteristics we want (not everything is motor based... but a lot is).
Ima union 1st year apprentice and im horrible at math , really nervous about dc theory . Any advise from anyone who has gone through it ?
Blackbox and autopiloting
👍👍
bruv doen ya een video on da high voltage DC lines voor laang distances
Crazy how u think that you're about to take the boards and you're still looking at the basics.
pop
poop
i always thought AC power adapter meant it can be used to power and Air Conditioning unit i am so dumb
😂😂

First!

The ocean tide goes up a d down but keep going forward,AC goes back and forward and doesnt goes anyway.that why it turn everything very hot and destroy all wires abd device so fast.it is the best for manipulate current flow in other to do something else but for send electricidad is not good.the fact today is used on it doesnt mean is the best.current flow direction is where ever u send it using this AC tecnic but electrón flow is another thing.cant be transformed.
Why the european sockets don't have earthing
So dc better ?
Well both have their benefits. Just because one is used more than the other doesn't make it better.
so why do we use AC normally? DC seems more simple
We use AC to transmit power more efficiently over long distances
your explanation is not complete. still remains the doubt about this 2 methods.
