I learned this stuff in the late 70s but these visuals are so clear & easy to grasp the actions one can’t see... I’ve been recommending them to all my friends who have kids... thanks for all your efforts
I feel that if mechanical engineers understood electricity in mechanical terms (in the way your videos demonstrate) they could create some very interesting circuits. This is an example of that. It is basically a magnification mechanism in electric form.
incredible imaginative, and outstanding explanation. Your videos open up a new horizon of understanding the underlying symbols and equations. Just excellent.
This is literally the best visual explanation of a voltage multiplier's function on the internet right now! Hands down, a real gem we all can appreciate. Thank you so much for creating this excellent lesson.
indeed I'm involved with electronics design industry since almost 20 years, and we consider copy/paste as the most very fast solution, even we do such paperwork calculations that match pasted circuits together, but your way to explain matters have turned me into deeper understanding, thank you
Great, thanks for the effort on the video, maybe in the description and for the next video audio you can clarify the direction of current you describe for the diode is conventional and not electron. This is extremely important for someone learning about current.
Genius! I've built a few of these before and I wanted a quick refresher to remind myself of how the voltages gradually stepped up. Perfect explanation.
I ran across this by chance. That has the be the most elegant way to illustrate voltage multiplication by rectification through capacitance I have ever seen. Very well done. Subbed!
What wonderful video! It's non easy to understand how a voltage doubler really works, because there are many factors acting together (alternate current, capacitor charging and discharging and so on). Therefore it's difficult to understand what it's really happening , just figuring it out by mind. A beatiful demonstration of an image which is worth a 1000 words.
I have my High Voltage Engineering Exam tomorrow, at this is by far the best explanation ever. 🔥🔥 Wish my professors had shown this instead of wasting time.
Very good video. Had to watch a few times to fully appreciate it. There are lots of confusing videos on youtube about voltage doublers. Makes me wonder how many people really understand whats going on.
Your videos are of extreme quality and I keep rediscovering scientific fields/applications. Thank you so much for all the work you put in. At first, I watched your videos about electricity and current flow to complete my knowledge for a college class, and I now find myself developing a strong interest in quantum physics and subatomic particles. It's all so facinating !! Thank you again, I hope you can keep going for long. B.B., from France
I finally understand it. Thank u! Boy electricity is not something u learn over night that’s for sure. 4 years into the industry now and just now starting to understand the harder stuff for me. Like why a resistive dimmer is bad for a ac fan. Like am I right in this: (only ask cause I think I put it together tonight and wanna make sure I’m right) The reason that dimmers are bad for fans is this; dimmers lower power by increasing the resistance of a circuit. This increase in resistance lowers the current which lowers the magnetic field in the coil: The coil is essentially a short circuit without impedance. And so without something impeding the current it will go up to infinity. Well what normally prevents this in a circuit is the amount of current that creates a certain amount of impedance by inductive reactance. So if a fan is designed to work at 120v, it relies on that voltage to produce a certain amount of current with the given inductance of the coil. If that voltage were to decrease, the current and ultimately the inductive reactance would decrease, paradoxically increasing the current. This increase in current would probably burn the coil of the fan ultimately breaking it. And this is why a dimmer is bad for a fan!
We learned the basics, and then applied them to stuff like this, break it down to the simplest first. DC series, parallel, RC time constant, ohms law, voltage drops, kirchoffs laws..etc, then AC, power factor, transformers, impedance, capacitors and inductors in series parallel and how frequency affects each circuit, digital logic, semiconductors, fets, diodes, transistors, op amps. throw in some thevinins, and other fun stuff. I took the electronics course, with some AC power distribution basics, and computers added on. They made it very basic at first then built on it.
This is a genius method for generating extremely high voltages! As always, I enjoyed the step-by-step explanation, and I look forward to watching the next set of videos. :)
@@protoborg Well, that hurts... 😢 (After such an intuitive explanation, _this_ is what I wake up to? I'm not sure if the reply above is completely factual, but the feeling still stings...)
There is electron current flow, then some go by hole current flow. A diode has anode /plate/collector that receives the current flow from the cathode/emitter. When the anode is more positive then the cathode, the current flows from the emitter to the anode/collector, not the other way around. Current flows against the arrow head not with it.
+walt3223, I am using the convention for current which shows the direction that positive particles would flow in, so as to be consistent with the convention that is used in education and in industry. But you are correct that it is actually the negatively charged electrons that are actually flowing, and these flow in the opposite direction. I cover this in my video titled, "Electric Potential: Visualizing Voltage"
best channel i ever found! very easy to understand with calm background music. thx for making great videos. i hope this channel will grow bigger n bigger.
Eugene could you explain Quantum Fourier Transform? This is the only thing that I don't understand in Shor's algorithm. Thanks for all the knowledge you gave me so far :-)
Poor C1 seems to be getting a workout today : ( and I'm starting to think C2 is made out of a hot air balloon and not some sort of metal! Thank you for the videos!
It might be a little clearer if you kept the lower right hand corner stationary. The people could see that the voltage in the top side of the capacitor was double relative to the lower corner. Good videos.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! You explain everything so clearly and what could otherwise leave some of us with questions gets easily clarified with the visuals you create. .. I LOVE ALL THE VIDEOS BY YOU I HAVE SEEN I am a huge fan ^_^
Great to see HeNe laser circuits being explained. Would be nice for the application to be adopted by the Xenon YAG laser power supply :-) Optically pumping the the rod lasers would be child's play.
+Timothy Mwansa, thanks for the compliment on the video. The voltage ratings of the diodes and capacitors doesn't have to be high, as each diode and each capacitor only sees the voltage difference of a single stage of the circuit. A bigger concern, as the voltage gets extremely high, is that you will have arcs through the air. Also, these arcs will generate lots of X-rays, which are bad for people's health.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky what would be economically the best spec of the each diodes and capacitors, if you wanna generate 800 KV DC? wanna build one!
Positive flow theory is the premise in this video(usually mechanical) ..however in college we were primarily taught negative flow theory...in other words there are two theories of electron flow ..one theory says electrons flow from negative to positive and the other say positive to negative
Electrons flow from negative to positive, but positive flow is still used in industry. I discuss this in my video at th-cam.com/video/-Rb9guSEeVE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this great video. You explain everything so well. I have watched all of your videos and they are amazing. Can you please make a video on diode, BJT and MOSFET. Thank you.
SIR your videos are awesome but i miss one thing is that numerical problem sir please add any numerical questions and solve them using your greatest videos
amazing! one quick question. shouldn't the capacitor on the output charge up to its maximum charging capacity and not just double the peak input voltage?
it doubles because of the polarity changing on source. It's source went down. So now it is twice as high relative to its original source voltage because current cannot flow through the first diode through the capacitor and thereby discharging it. It's a voltage spike.
I'm seeing a flaw. C2 will discharge through D1 and D2 as it creates a complete circuit. This will happen during the 3rd cycle as your recharging C1, C2 will be in a complete circuit consisting of C2->D1->D2->C2
Need a different animation for the caps. Voltage flowing through the cap? Maybe one side should swell with negative charge and the other side shrink with reduced negative charge?
i love your videos.....i love it because its slowly explained.....pls make more videos on various topics..... your videos clear the basics.....only one doubt how long will c2 voltage willkeep on increasing??? there must be a rating of capacitor.....if the voltage will keep on increasing then the capacitor will blew up eventually.....once again thanks for making such nice videos......i would request you to make a video on buck converter using two stacked mosfet instead of diode and explain...

The diode conducting ( forward biased) will have the same voltage on both sides minus .7v ...each diode usually has a 7/10 of 1 volt drop.
