I always thought it was build a man a fire and he will be warm for a night but set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life...
Thank you for the class. I am embarrassed to admit I needed this class. Thank you Professor Hobo.
YES!! I played around with simple circuits as a kid, but my profession took me in a different direction, so it is always a good idea to review & re-focus on how NOT to let out the Magic Smoke!
Agreed. Thank you Good Sir Hobo for explaining things in a simple manner for those of us that are not electric savvy.
Sorry. Bud. It's. Over. My. Head. Wasn't. Good at. Maths
Thank you for going back to the basics and building from there.
"Powerful" Presentation of Voltage Pressures by my favorite Professor @Hobotech
Totally 'electrifying' content lol
Finally, something worth watching & learning from. Teach more
I loved this! Thank you. Very well done and dumbed down for the rest of us. A Festivus for the rest of us!
😂🤣😂🤣👍👍👍
Thank you so much for this! This education is what so many of us non-techy people are desperately needing and seeking. I've learned enough over the years to generally understand these concepts, but struggle to put them to practical use. I am encouraged by what I saw and heard in this video. I've been a subscriber for years, but today I became a fan. Be assured, I will pass these tutorials along to others!
*One humble request:* please explain amp hours and watt hours in terms of use cases, including which one matters for determining what size power station and panels to buy; and how exactly to make those calculations. Thank you!
I'm sure he is going to get to that.
Thank you very much HoboTech. Your knowledge is so amazing and appreciated.
Your first "shock".....will be the price of some of the components....
I=E/R is cooked into my brain. AC and DC ciruits. In 3 phase, I dont understand what a neutral does. Positive anode, negative cathode. I might use it, maybe repair it. But I'l never understand it. Electrical schematics are in my nightmares.
@HOBOTECH Collab Idea! Doing a long solar bike tour in November if your ever looking to live like a real hobo for a week or so.
We can chat. Been wondering when you were going to do another tour. I know is too hot down there, but in summer come up to the AZ mountains. I have acreage to camp on.
Thank you for this series! Perfect pace and presentation. Like others have said ... I have general/vague knowledge ... this along with the reviews is so helpful!
Thank you Professor. As a girl, I wasn't taught anything about this kind of stuff growing up, so I appreciate you filling in the gaps now.
This was very helpful and informative to a newbie in the electric and solar world. Thanks for this.
“Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day
feed that same man, to that same fish,
and that fish will eat for like four months”
Never seen someone draw an 8 like I do . Galactic cousins or maybe it was some funny smoke at one time .
Very educational; much appreciated
Second, the professor is in session
Thanks, Professor. Your first class answered a number of questions I didn't realize I had. Good job. Looking forward to "staying in school" at Hobo-university
Fundamentals are the backbone of knowledge! Thank you for this session and the ones to come.
My Solar bike is 48v. love the e-whiteboard.
You are very smart👍👍 But in my Lifelong experiences with Electricity i see it like this. VxAxW= Power , which comes from Generators or Solar components. If lightning hits or you rub your feet on shag carpet you can shock yur family member😂🤣😂or light up a bulb. But Volts and Amps, and Watts are a tossedsalad of just flip that switch and alls good, we got light . Electricity is as reliable as a politician. And can just wack out if the moon passes an eclipse. My Advice is throw all the Logic out the window. Grab a generator, gasoline, propane, solar panels, candles, firewood, blankets, matches, oil lamps, and Do Not Rely on a government owned utility named electricity. Because Amps, Volts, and Watts wont mean squat when they shut down the grid. Electricity has only been around 200 years............ They survived for thousands of years on alternative sources, and smarts. Think past the limit.
Very ambitious undertaking, very well-executed!
My ebike has a 220 volt charger. It consumes 150 watts while charging. Full charge takes 4-5 hours. Connecting this charger to an inverter, you probably need an inverter of at least 300 watts to fully charge your bike battery without too much heat dissipation. We are talking about huge amounts of amps here, at least 18 amps from a 12 volt battery. I will try an Ecoflow river 2 max to see if it can charge my battery full.
I just bought a 48v inverter/charger and it was 33% less than a comparable 12v inverter/charger.
Funny I started a class a couple of weeks ago on volts watts and amps. Trying to get peoples Pea size brains up to walnut size brains. And if that offends you get out of my class.
I really like your show and I like watching you and learn a lot. Sometimes I can't remember what you told me what to do. Yes, I watched it so I could learn more. But that's pretty tough to remember. I'm things like that. Thank you.
Now i know what VOC means, I've been looking at solar panels trying to understand it, good luck on searching what stats mean 😂
thanks for the explanations, I "kind of" knew some of this but not in real clarity and it's total application. I just want to avoid the magical smoke and any kind of fire!
Now 70 I still get shocked..Sparkey
thank you! Very helpful for us newbies. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much for doing this series. I’ve tried to understand concepts of electricity but have not succeeded. As a female in the 1970s, we were not invited to attend shop classes etc. I appreciate this opportunity to learn now as I am in my 60s. Never too old to learn.
One automotive tune up class in the 70s helped me all my life, Ohms law and all that. I'm in my 60s and agree, back then it was considered a man's profession.
That graduation gown looks like it came from NAU. 😁
I like your smart board. Used one for years in my classroom.
I was famous for my horrible drawings. At least your car is recognizable.
thankyou SIr. Your a really good teacher. I appreciate it. thanks.
Is an AMP equal to 1000 watts? I’m still confused about this.
Very helpful very much appreciate you doing an educational series
Drawing is an interesting outcome... You rock! Cheers!
Fantastic video and very educational even when I thought I had a great understanding of the subject. Love the use of the electronic white board.
Hobo what's up with that cyber truck? 😁 Thats really a Pontiac transport. 😂
This is Awesome.. I have been a long time sub and always wanted to see a rundown on how you figure some of this stuff out. For many its gets confusing and what things to look out for before burning things up.
This is an amazing tutorial. I have a background in electricity & solar and you made this so informative and friendly.
Great lecture, I have learned a lot - until now I was just doing without knowing why…
Very practical ,enlightening ,educational and a great real person wit and humor
Thanks. I'm beginning to understand. Hi, Odin!
Awesome Tshirt are you going to add that to your merch site..please🙏
Looking forward to SUBtember!
Well done sir! I'm waiting for your next installment.
Don't let out the magic smoke. That's just wasteful.
1:47 The flow of electrons is called current. The faster the flow, the higher the current.
thanks for the information. Looking forward to the next lesson.
wish i had known all this info before i started my jaunts.
Thank you. I bought a Pecron e1500lfp and I have been looking at solar panels for the roof of my van. Confused by VOC and VMP. Now, I am more certain that VOC is the important number. Finding the right panels to run in series to get VOC between 32 and 80 volts is part 1. Looking forward to learning about amps. Will be measuring the available space on my van roof to see if there is any way to get 400 watts up there with the right combo of volts and amps. My BIG QUESTION now is "If the solar panel is not putting out all the rated watts, does that affect the voltage? the amps? both?" If I can only get 200 watts on my roof and it is partly shaded so the panels only produce 50 watts, will I get nothing out of the charge controller?
Amps are reduced, not volts when output is lowered.
Thanks for the video. This was a great learning video on Volts
Greetings from Prince Edward Island Canada. I vote to keep these videos. I bought the Buletti AC 180 based on your review, very happy with it. I do miss the dune buggy video at the end of each review, with the ZZ Top music. I'm 61 and tech has escaped me over the years but I'm catching up thanks to your videos.
I liked the outro too but it was hurting my watch time. That's bad for TH-cam suggesting my videos.
Puff puff pass the ‘magic smoke’ lolz 💨 💨
Love the new outfit professor, you should wear it from now on!! 🤙
Wow! You look a whole lot like that. Another guy that I follow but he wears a white lab coat 😁
Thank you
Thank you!
By default manufacturer need to start building RVs without 12 V systems but something higher.
Totally agree.
I would give you a grade of B+ for this explanation. You left out a few key formulas, power vs current vs voltage, why open circuit voltage is important.
I covered why voc is important. Amps and power is next video. This was too long.
Nice job! Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you 🙏 for this Professor 🧑🏫.
Thanks for the info, you put it so it is very easy to understand
Sweet I’m excited for the new series!!!!
Excellent content. I can’t wait for more.
You forgot to teach how much voltage one cell produces, such as a lead acid cell produces 2.2 volts, and you need 6 for a 12 volt battery etc. I want to be educated on that compared to the Lifepo4 cells, what's the new standard for the newer technology?
This video was about voltage. I'll cover batteries in a separate video.
Good video. Very informative.😊
It may be helpful to explain Ohm’s law to those unfamiliar with electrical theory.
Watch part 2
Would you mind doing a short explanation on charging the Lectric bike brand of batteries using solar and/or solar generator. I tried asking Lectric and they would not agree to using any product other than their ac to dc charging setup! I hate going ac to dc when all you need is dc to dc for charging! Thank you for the videos! Look forward to the series!
I did one on using a sogen th-cam.com/video/suIbvNdCRfg/w-d-xo.html
Nice use of the SmartBoard.
14.4 atmospheric pressure
I love love love these videos. I need to learn more.
You're the GREATEST!!!
i could never understand voltage, ever.
"I have only come here seeking knowledge,
Things they would not teach me of in college."
Actually high school electricity class.
This tutorial is much more effective.
Appreciate this video! 👍🏾
What are Volts? GM's attempt at burning down owners homes and garages!
No you have to have amperage for that!
Thanks for that. My big issue designing a mobile(van) system is finding the SCC that I want in the 3000watt range that will work well at the usually low VOC from the limited roof space on my van. Usually these SCC's lowest input voltage are higher than the usually two or possibly three max solar panels that will fit on a van roof. Im shooting for 800watts of solar panels, 8kw - 15kw 48v batteries with alt charging. I want to use my van as a mobile backup power station for my critical loads at my home and to full power my off grid cabin.
The 60A HQST I reviewed would have no issue with 800w of panels in series.
@@HOBOTECH Yeah I meant to say All-in-One charger controller. Im looking at seperate components now. Ill check that out Thanks!
Mr. Hobo teach us how to use our power station we bought to offset some of the power consumption. I would love to know if there is such an ac to ac grid tie inverter so we can use the stored energy for our internal power consumption
I just reviewed an ac coupled grid tie inverter last month.
How do you get free solar generators?
(20:25) According to Car & Driver in 2022, most EVs and hybrids still have 12V batteries to run safety systems, intotainment, door locks and accessories. The power required for these system is tiny compared to propelling the car so the wires are not large and the weight and cost savings from going to 48V for these items is minimal. But, who knows what Elon is up to.
Yes, but I specifically said the Cybertruck was first to use only 48v. There are many benefits as there are more and more electronics on board. Others will follow, eventually.
@@HOBOTECH I stand corrected but I am not selling my 12V lead acid battery stocks anytime soon.
Thank you for this!
What textbooks can you recommend for a novice learner on electronics??
Electronics for Dummies...
Thanks for the class
This info is super duper
Hi there, I am curious and I need help. I test electrical appliances for leakage as an occupation. I need to do this on construction sites and am looking at getting a power station. One of the tests we do is a running test, where we run an appliance with a motor for up to 10 seconds. some of the appliances are 2500W .. what would be the best Power Station to buy for the job? I am not talking about brand, I am talking about being able to sustain the test without tripping.
Watch my review on the Delta Pro 3. That's probably what you want.
@@HOBOTECH Thank you, that is how I got to you in the first place and I subbed because I appreciate your knowledge and experience
thanks
Preach on professor!
Thanks so much.
Great job let’s see part two!
thanks for the effort
Thank you.😊
Algorithm
You have a Ph.D ?
Great Video!
Nice. My Volta Power Systems Architecture on my RV is a 48 V nominal system. This is good education. Looking forward to the discussion on current/amps and resistance.
Thank you!!!
