I like your videos more and more as my knowledge grows. Please don’t hesitate on explaining how a circuit works or skip the schematic. You have great ideas and it’s great learning when you go into details! Thank you for all your effort. These videos adds more color to my life. Thanks again.
"It's not that complicated"
Wow do I feel stupid!
Oof me too
Took me a month of building this to fully understand it lol
Yeah, but you are not stupid
Hello! It has been a while since this video was posted, but it is still pretty up-to-date. When dealing with the inner building blocks, electronics gets more and more fascinating. And you have found a very appealing way to show this. Congratulations!!! As expressed by the others, I too treasure your posts. Thank you for allowing us to see electronics your way.
Man, this is a GREAT video. Quick and to the point. You showed the math and the hardware. Love it. Even talked about some enhancement that could be added. Keep up the great work...
this is the full explained video i have ever seen in internet about how to MAKE a boost converter & how it works
thank you so mach GreatScott!
your fan :)
Great video Scott, you're a godsend for beginner and hobbyist electronics enthusiasts like myself.
Adding the components one after the other explaining their need really made this easy to understand for me, thank you.
I love your power electronics video series. I'd say they are the cleanest and the most well organized ones on youtube. Do some more power electronics videos on Flyback regulators, Charge pumps, and cockroft walton multipliers. Something else I really like to see is AM radio (Transmission and Receiving).
It is always a pleasure to see your videos. regards
hehe, pensé que era el único argentino.
Yo pensé lo mismo jaja
Ya somos tres
ya somos 4 narigones jeje
Always waiting for: "Stay creative and i will see you next time" :)

that's four years ago,,,
and now is 22/06/2020,,,,
and he's still saying that iconic words,,,,
kind of epic,,, actually,,,,
😊😊
I absolutely love all the projects you do :D
I love your videos, your oscilloscope and your handwriting!
Nice practical demonstration, a great way to explain the principles.
genius! I have never subscribed from a single video after watching it just once. your video made me do it!
i dont know why youtube didn't recomend me your videos before, are everything that i was seraching! greetings from Argentina
Bro the quality of videos u make is just amazing :D
I wish to meet you once in my life :) You made me learn alot of electronics :)
THANK YOU !!
wow. just noticed that you passed 250k subscribers. congrats. you deserve them (and all to come).
Just discovered your channel. As soon as you pulled out an ATtiny I paused and subscribed :)
Awesome Video Dude & Circuit. Keep up the great work. Nick.
Great explanation as always. Absolutely legendary! Thank you scott! Nonstop classics :)
Watching you it is evident that you are a graduate of electrical engineering school, everything just flies right over my head!
That is one sexy scope.
yup
+Astuces de Trente Secondes - Must Kunst he did? name sorces
that oscilloscope cost 30k
.....Facebook Galaxy? A community? Or it this a joke referring to those BS "deals" on Facebook?
more like 12k but still pretty epensive
thanks for this I was really in search of this for my project .
You are INCREDIBLE !! It is so clear !
GreatScott!!! Thank you so much for this video!!!
Great Scott,I love this project and I am waiting for quad copter project brother.Thank you
Congrats ! Your channel have the validate badge !
This is exactly what I needed. I also have made solar panel, but want to charge lipo battery. It still does not reach the required voltage on cloudy days and I will need step up converter then. This video helped me greatly as now I have an idea how to make feedback to control the voltage (as I don't know what output my panel will give at any given time). I am super beginner, so I will surely have lots of glitches on my way to success, but this is great video for general concept and tips.
Dang dude.. you went HAM on this video.. this inspires me to... step up 😁.. my game!
Brilliant work bro. I shall implement it myself to study it better and just probably be able to share my findings.
The only electronic channel you can trust 👍
i was looking for a tutorial like this thanks a lot! :)
A great companion video to your down converter video, thank-you.
Scott, thanks for coming up with such good content. Greetings from Brazil.
Poucos brasileiros por aqui né kkkk
Acontece kkkkkk
Emmett Brown poucos. Estou criando um site onde traduzo vídeos desse tipo gratuitamente, se tiver interesse.
Bruno Henrique Muito interessante dá sua parte. Assim pessoas que não sabem inglês podem ter acesso a esse conhecimento em português!! Se quiser ajuda com a tradução também posso ajudar. Se possível me passe o site para que eu possa ver, sei de pessoas que vão gostar disso! Parabéns pela iniciativa!!
Obrigado pela mensagem. O site já está pronto, a estrutura dele, eu só não coloquei no ar ainda pois ainda não fechei todo o conteúdo para lançar. Além das traduções também disponibilizo um arquivo pdf resumindo os pontos importantes dos vídeos, isso demora muito, mas muito tempo. Até agora traduzi uma série de 5 vídeos sobre fontes chaveadas do canal The Post Apocalyptic Inventor, Tutoriais sobre capacitores pt1 e 2 do EEV Blog, Tutorial sobre Decibéis para Engenheiros do EEV Blog, e agora estou terminando o vídeo "Como não explodir seu osciloscópio também do EEV Blog. Mais pra frente traduzirei alguns do canal Mr. Carlson's Lab que é SENSACIONAL. Lhe mando uma mensagem quando estiver no ar. Abraços.
It is a very nice osciloscope there, the project was good to learn, but buck converters are very cheap to buy... the knowledge is always priceless. thanks.
I dont know HOW this guy does this things but he is AMAZING, Seriously i watch his videos almost every day and then i just stare at the screen saying "how does he do that i do not know what he is even talking about".
love this buddy !! will make it soon 🙌
Oh I loved the smoke at the end of the video! :D
OOOHhh It's amazing! sadly i didn't understand everything yet, but it's the most understandable video that i watched ever!
Wow great, adding a display with output voltage and current reading would be awesome.
Thanks, Scott. I liked it !
congratulations what a good project, regards
very nice video mate ! as always !
As always great video. Nice!
So nice the world's best teacher
I wish I knew what most of this meant. I always enjoy they videos no matter if I understand it or not lol
I kinda understand a few things, but most of it is just "Because of ... and then ... this MOSFET ... this Diode ... according to my schematic ... in the video description ... and let's end this project here!" :P
Victor Tran no I didn't mean that I didn't understand his accent I meant like the parts lol. Idk what 90%of them do
remo spadaccini I wasn't referring to his accent. I don't know what many of the parts do either. No idea what a MOSFET does, only know how to spell it :P
Wasn't a misunderstanding :P
I'am 11 and I understand all of that.
Victor Tran oh ok
Great Boosting Sir Scott
I always connect in serious...
You can't be serious!
Yeah he is serious i am sure 😊
This is by far my favorite TH-cam channel.
Love your stuff. I wish you could do more stuff that includes Raspberry Pi computers.
another great scott
This is a great video on boost converter. loved it!. My one question..
How would the values for capacitor and inductors be calculated? Scratching my head to understand the calculation part.
Thanks :-)
love how the video ends with the thing going up in smoke.
How did you determine the 100 mH inductor? was that random? I assume a larger value would get you higher current but lower max voltage?
I had a feeling this was coming... :)
Tha ks a kot sir i am workign on mosfet these days and learning about it thanks for such wonderful tutorial i will give it a try make my own boost convertor
That scope is badass
Thanks for this useful post.. awesome
Hey GreatScott, what kind of pens do you use in these videos?
Loved the video... Is there a way to boost current without the use of a microcontroller?
thumbs up for saying "let's find out" instead of "let's find it out" :)
Very nice video/tutorial, I built a boost converter using my Arduimo Mega2560.
Did you guys know that the hydraulic analogy for this type of boost converter is a *RAM pump!* Google RAM pump and see how they work. Instead of inductance and the flyback effect electric systems use, RAM pumps use the "water hammer" effect, which is perfectly analogous to the flyback effect!
Power Max what about buck and buck-boost converters?
Revi M Fadli you can arrange the components of a RAM pump to create a "buck converter" although its not very useful unless you need to convert a high pressure but low flow-rate source of water into a low pressure high(er) flow rate source without an active pump.
Power Max
A venturi would do that easily so there would be no point.
What code did you use for the feedback voltage to maintain a consistent output voltage? did you use the PWM duty cycle-ouput voltage relationship to generate a sustained output voltage?
I designed a very crude boost converter controlled by an Arduino. It was functionally useless and very unstable, but it worked. It was cool as a proof of concept.
Awesome work!!!
Because you are my mentor
Great Scott!!!!, i find your videos interesting!!!
'SUBBED' :)
I use these A LOT in battery charging applications. Would be fun to build one - mostly because the biggest one I could find was the DROK one on amazon that apparently does 900W. Not really. I was hoping to use one to charge the battery on my scooter (12S LiHV, max charge of 52.2V). The 900W one I got from DROK can handle only 3 amps at that voltage. Weak. It also hums a lot when charging at that voltage and amperage.
I found this video fascinating because I'd love to build one of these to give me at least 6 amps at 52.2V. I haven't read your instructions yet that you mentioned in the video (I plan on it) but is there enough info in there to where it is obvious what components I would need to change to get to higher voltages and amps?
Thanks.
Pls which mosfet is the best for buck converter?
I don't know how much of a fan you are of induction heating and high voltages, but it would be super cool to see an explanation of the ZVS driver!
What (besides the load on the output circuit) determines the amperage of the output? Would it be the inductance? Also how would one calculate this? Thanks
Grato, continue assim. Parabens!
Hello GreatScott! Do you know how to make a frequency generator with a ne555? I think it's a good project because they are a bit expensive and i'm shure we can have the same result with little composants like variable resistors, lcd screen ,capacitors, ne555 and others :D
Does the boost converter aim for a specific voltage, or a certain multiple of the input voltage?
Hi +GreatScott!
Would it be possible to use instead of a microcontroller (like the attiny85), a 555 IC?
I like the smoke at the end
Hi GreatScott!, What is the IC chip that you used @1:11?
Link to the homemade programming shield video mentioned at 1:25?
Other than that, great job with the video.
GREAT VIDEO.
BTW what oscilloscope is that? how much does it cost?
GreatScott! nice You Tube videos, very informative.
I am trying to build a 18650 pack for LED strip lighting and a battery backup for CPAP.
for the LED lighting I need 3hr run time at 12v 5amp. I am thinking a 10 cell pack will work. is it better to boost from 3.7 volts, or buck? should I be close to the input voltage I need ? for the CPAP I need 24v at 3.75 amp but I am figuring it will be 2-2.5 as I will not be using the heated hose and humidifier. I am thinking a 40 cell pack 1 need 16hr run time. I was thinking to try and offset it with a solar charger so I only need 8 hour run time (for camping.)
should I use a BMS as well or just some sort of low voltage protection circuit. it would be very helpful if I could get some feedback / help with my project.
thanks.
hello. I enjoy your all of videos . I am wondering if I could use this to base a large DC boost stage for a inverter. one big enough to run my off grid home. like 6kw minimum. from most likely 24vdc. if I'm correct I need to boost to 170vdc. to get 120vac once inverted to ac. I think I have the spwm output stage figured out. I am self taught and new to this. but I'm trying . would this be better than a push pull boost circuit? as far as efficiency? I know a push pull will require a very large transformer. and run at a lower Hz. but the ppl selling inverters say low frequency is better for starting motors. if you could give any advice or help I would be very thankful. and the over shoot when loads are disconnected. and sags when connected. is there a way to improve the regulation of the output? would that be in code. or is it the microcontroller? can it be fixed with a better or faster microcontroller? thanks again.
Hi Scott! Can you tell me where did you get that awesome osciloscope please?
How do i regulate the frequency please? Nice video by the way. Thanks.
Hello, one question, the same inductor tahr you use can be used to create a 100W boost converter?
GreatScott, fancy making the RLC meter you showed in a previous video ?
Awesome project,
Hey scott! Which resistor should I add in place of potentiometer in boost converter xl6009? Input is 3.7v 18650 battery and required output is 12v.
My first year of college, I didn't understand a single thing that was said. Now I'm in my second year and it's starting to make a lot more sense. I hope next year I will be able to make this on my own without instructions.
I can relate to this, although im teaching myself i remember not understanding anything in this and many other videos but now i actually undestand and im going to try to build this in next few days
Awesome Video Again..
Great scott can u tell me what kind of pen do u use in this video ? must reply
I just watch your videos even if I dont know anything about electric stuff
Same xD
can you give me the previous video for how to make programming shields...thanks.
Excellent video.
385 views! Never seen a Greatscott video when it's under 1000 views
Could you please make a video on how to calculate capacitor and inductor values?
Have to ask! How many resistor's do you use with your opening sign?
how do you decide what value of capacitor and inductor when you build that kind of circuit? what things to consider?
Very good 👌
Would it not be easier to wind two coils, like a transformer?
Or would a diode bridge at the end lower the efficiency?
