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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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 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 ^_^
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.
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
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.
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.
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...)
Thanks! Very clear and interesting. One question: you assume that the diodes operate at 0V forward voltage? otherwise, no current will flow through D2 when its cathod voltage is greater than its anode voltage
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.
I recently created a Patreon account for people who want to help support my channel. The link is on my TH-cam home page. Also, in case, you have not already seen them, I uploaded several other videos recently. As always, for each video that you like, you can help more people find it in their TH-cam search engine by clicking the like button, and writing a comment. Lots more videos are coming very soon. Thanks.
thank you for these wonderful videos. Didactically well done to facilitate the understanding of complicated things! well done. I love, I subscibe and I multiple share.👌🏼👍
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 :-)
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!
Great video, explained well the concept of voltage multiplier. thank you for sharing it! can you specify the specs of both diodes and capacitors (and how many of them) to generate lets say over 800 kV DC output from a 220 V AC or lower. can such device made at home? if yes, how much does it cost ($)? and is there cheaper alternative to generate over 800 kV DC (don't mind how low the current is, as it required for generating static filed for an experiment)?
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!
I just have a few questions. What is the ratio between the capacitors and diodes values in terms of stepping up the voltage? Does the amount of input AC voltage determine the size of the capacitors and diodes? Finally what's a good size to work with for DIY projects?
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.

Out of the dozen or so videos on this circuit I've seen, this one has helped me visualize and therefore understand it, the most.
Thanks. I am glad my video was helpful.
while everyone is thanking Eugene for his great animation work I'd like to say thanks to Kira Vincent for her voiceover and dialogue editing work.
Very neat way of visualizing voltage using vertical height. It makes it very intuitive like a head of water in a dam producing pressure.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos !
