As a physicist I would say that your system is brilliant. As an operating and maintenance engineer I would deem this system a nightmare!
I was curious about maintenance for a scale system like this. Salt water is pretty tough on everything it touches. I don’t know enough to know if there are materials that make this a non issue
@@spencercase5370 I work in a marina and all the A4 stainless steel rusts in time. And quicker than one would think.
@@spencercase5370 Yes, there are MANY materials than can be used to resist the marine environment.
@@spencercase5370 Naval Brass is about the best thing I can think of unless you are running cathodic protection
@@bobomob111 lol, you obviously know NOTHING. Sir, do some research. Vibranium is far superior to marine brass, as is adamantium. You could also use unobtanium in a pinch. Dargontine also works. Sharks also last about 70 years and they don't get rusty, so could just use sharks. You could also use a non-corrosive, cost effective material known as platinum. From what I've read it would last a long time underwater. I Don't know why we don't make everything out of platinum honestly. People seem to like it.
You remind me a lot of my physics professor in High School. That man was EXTREMELY overqualified for the position he held. He took that job to be available to care for elderly parents. At one point he was the ranking science officer on a submarine in the U.S. Navy and among the first people to go into Hiroshima after the atomic bomb. If you were not watching him as he taught his classes, you missed as much as half of his presentations. It was never "dull".
I absolutely love how much engineering is jammed into this short video.
idk, the airflow turbulence introduced by the bioballs seems like it should be addressed
airflow turbulence will only be a factor until the system is filled and at pressure. in fact, that turbulence is what assists the interaction between water and air crossflow.
@@lucasallen5349 i need either high-speed cameras fluid demonstrations, or reputable CFD simulations.

Fairly sure the swamp coolers used in desert or low humidity areas are the same.
@@spacecadet0 Almost, but not quite. Swamp coolers trade humidity for temperature. For them to get rid of the heat energy, they change the state of water from liquid to vapour. That means you get cool air, but humid conditions.
This system "gets rid" of the humidity as well as the heat.

@@TechIngredients You desperately need to set up a forum where viewers and builders can exchange information and document their builds. It's not enough to demonstrate the principal. Take a look at +EEVblog for how to do it right.

Just want to thank you very much for your unsurpassed wisdom and research that you put into all of your videos! I truly appreciate YOU sharing and teaching your knowledge. You rock and all your videos are excellent without distraction ! Thanks!
I have the same concept of air-conditioning using latent heat of evaporation and I am happy to know somebody is also experimenting on it. I thought of that dessicant to dry the air but it will make the system complex it adds heat to the system that you will reject again later, lowering the system efficiency. Just make a cascade system. Separate the cooling medium and the air to be cooled so there is no need for dessicant. Natural dehumidification will occur just need to reach the dew point temperature. You can further improve its efficiency by removing the blower for the swamp cooler and put thermal stack (solar) on top of the swamp cooler discharge to draw air from the cooler (can be combined with blower when there is no sunlight). This system really works. Making the equipment smaller is the challenge.
You should add a part list with Amazon afiliate links in the description. Would help you get a small kick back and help people who really want to build this contraption.
Thank you
Seconded!
Thirdeded!

This isn’t something you’d just build as a kit. It takes initiative, ambition and curiosity to build something like this.
@@BeaulieuTodd or necessity? I read that Anchorage is abnormally hot right now, and they don't have air conditioners.
The world needs more people like yourself pushing knowledge. Excellent video.
@@VikingRul3s This is significantly more complex than a evaporative cooling, on a number of levels. Past that, evaporative cooling (like your "bong cooler") has been around since at least the late 1800's.
This could very well run on a tiny solar cell! And I also like the idea of using a solar based thermal collector. I would just scale this up (five or six running parallel), put it in the attic and lead air ducts to every room!
Yes, that would be an awesome way to use this :D
Nah, you can't meter it and suck money out of the masses with this system. The initial costs is also too low, we can't justify a high price for it either by claiming the material or the complex (actually simple) design or development costs. Another competitor would out compete us. Just maybe if we can get the patent first that is, might as well put in a safe to be never released so we can keep selling our huge stock of inefficient, metered cooling systems perpetually, which need to be changed and maintenanced from time to time, cashing in one more time from these suckers.
@@ses4068 there's a difference between value and expense. And it does take skill and planning to integrate this in an existing house effectively.
@@bramweinreder2346 it never occurred to you that almost everything mankind designs starts big & bulky most of times and only with time & demand most technological design get smaller and portable? Really?
@@ses4068 technology scales. Physics don't. I don't really see the point of the question, but I also don't expect this system (including the air columns) to be scaled to the size of a backpack ever and still give the same amount of cold air. That's simply not how it works.
All of your videos completely blow my mind. Thank you for the time you take to make them.

I was expecting junk science, but was pleased to see someone who knows how things work in the Universe :)
Yeah this channel is the real deal.
Actually its junk science, cause he invented the wheel again. It's commonly used cooling system in factories all over the planet. Not just by one "german company". He spent lot of time on something as simple as fuck fulfilling absolutly definition of what junk science is all about.
@@KabelkowyJoe That's not the definition of junk science at all. If it's junk science, it wouldn't work. Junk science is like nanotechnology-based food containers that prevent food spoilage... that are simply plastic Tupperware.
@@KabelkowyJoe He spent a lot of time explaining how to take a sophisticated alternate form of cooling an environment and recreate it using affordable and easily acquired items. If you don't understand why that would be useful then the video is just not for you.
@@KabelkowyJoe you're absolutely right. Here is a link of a company that does this since the 80's www.munters.com/en/areas-of-expertise/industrial-drying/
This has been sitting in my watch later for years. Absolutely fascinating.
Hey - here is an idea: a final stack where you evaporate water in pre dried air. How about actually making the final stage a closed circulation and use water from it to be pumped into another radiator that takes air from the house and circulates it through it ? That way there is no contact of water and air that is being used for living space, so there should be no concerns of contamination. A small header tank with a floater could be used to replenish water directly from mains - after all water will be captured by desiccant and evacuated from the desiccant dehydration loop. Also I would suggest adding few coils of platinum here and there to inhibit bio growth in the system.
Copper not platinum.
@@newoneinblack actually silver not platinum, but thank for pointing it out.
@@tommybronze3451 Copper is incredibly bactericidal as well. Studies have been being conducted for a few years now in hospitals etc. using copper or copper clad surfaces instead of bare stainless steel and found very promising results. And much cheaper to get results than the more rare and expensive metals.
@@newoneinblack and all those pc enthusiasts having a biological growth with their copper cpu blocks are just imagining stuff ? you want to kill bacteria AND fungi, and copper doesn’t cut it.

@@Askor200 Trying to get back into it. Have a couple of vids I just need to edit and post.
Dealing with the heat wave now...This would be amazing. We have some always on computers that would be happy to contribute the desiccant cycle heat (which ironically need a few hundred watts removed from the room anyway). My only concern is the maintenance of configuring the 'grey' water evap system - would need a lot of flushing to prevent the high evaporation process from leaving a tonne of sediment clogging the filters.
Very cool all around.
If only my teachers would have been as smart and capable as you are. Remarkable.

In place of the bio-balls or wadded up plastic bottles you can use plastic dish scrubbing pads from the dollar store. There's even more surface area in those than with the bio-balls. I've used them to make bio-filters for aquaponics when I raised tilapia.

This is absolutey Genius! Thank you very much for demonstrating the system you have developed and the evaporative cooling process.
Sir the sheer amount of details & knowledge you have about your projects is amazing
Anyone can obsess over absolutely nothing.
Not to mention the tools and supplies that appear to be at hand, thank you for your uploads. Excellent content.
@Tech Ingredients i'm an ventilation engineer and i really like your basic idea of that air conditioner. But i have to mention two things. First of all you can't calculate the watts of cooling by measuring the two different temperatures. You also have to measure the humidity of the inlet end outlet. You must calculate the coolingpower by the difference of
enthalpy. The second thing is, that you have liquids (warm liquids) in a circulation, that are in contact with your airflow. That could result in a hygiene problem. Keep on going with your really cool ideas :)
So; what do you think, is it more efficient and worth continuing?
The entire system would need to be completely sterile, yeah. All I could think the entire time was "Could you imagine trying to clean that thing?" Sponges evaporating on warm grey water, eugh... Cool concepts, neat idea, but I can't imagine how it would work for longer than a demonstration.
@@youthised58 I'm sorry but i'm not able to say if that build is more or less efficient, because i don't have the measurements. In the part where he calculates the COP i also miss the integration of the heat from the burners. This energy isn't free. To your last question: yes i think its worth continuing. The idea is great, but he should get some help with good scientific knowledge to get it accurate.
I thought that with the CFM (cubic feet per minute) and Delta T (sensible thermal difference) you can at least calculate the sensible BTU's of this. Once you have the BTU's you can covert them into watts by dividing it by 3.412. this is just the sensible heat in the system not the total. Also could the hygiene problem be fixed by adding some sort of cleaning agent to the water flow( without it affecting phase change properties) I don't know enough to determine if this applies to this system or is accurate. I would love to know more if you could shed some light on the matter.
For your second reasonable doubt, that there could be hygiene problems with warm liquids in contact with the airflow, I think I have the following solution (though it is a thought experiment): One could use a heat exchanger. This would preserve all the non-hygienic parts from the airflow itself and you had to clean only the condenser occasionally.
I used to have a kitchen refrigerator that had no moving parts and was powered by a small natural gas pilot light with a flame about the size of a candle flame. This refrigerator ran for about 60 years without any maintenance. It would freeze foods and keep foods cold like a normal refrigerator, but the refrigerator was about a third of the size of a refrigerator one would buy today. There wasn't a big need for big refrigerators in the 1940s. The refrigeration system was hermetically sealed and contained ammonia and hydrogen. This refrigeration system was co-invented by Albert Einstein for Electrolux in the early 1930s. When Freon became popular, the last I read about this type of refrigeration process was in the 1940s, but this type of refrigerator was still sold as late as 20 years ago to operate on propane, butane, or natural gas.
A Michigan gas company, near Detroit I believe, was selling gas powered window air conditioners at one time, and stopped marketing them probably for safety reasons.
Of course - this is very exciting, I knew this had great deal of potential I never had time to work on these type of things. All of the science, lectures and working models im speechless.
I can't watch this, it makes me want to make a Home Depot run.
And, as always, spend a bunch of money....

Bro! Hold my beer! I live in New Mexico we use evaporative coolers to great success by drawing hot dry air over water soaked pads, Temp drop of over 30 degrees! Works great! Only thing is it adds humidity to the cooled air. But when your humidity is 14% you don't notice it. And you use a lot less electricity!
Sometimes I wonder about putting an evaporative cooler in the vicinity of my external compressor, to lower the ambient air it has to work with when it gets >100 or 105 degrees (California, dry heat). We can't get the house below 78 in these conditions. I can't find anything on this approach online, so maybe it is less effective than running the evaporative cooler indoors directly. I have tried misting and it does drop the temp a couple degrees, but can't be good for the health of the coils.
*Cries in 90% ambient humidity.
@@polylight a small sprinkler system spraying the condenser would work better, liquids have better heat transfer/absorption than gas. Very light water spray onto the condenser would really help on hot days, wasteful on days where it's not necessary but a very simple fix for days when you absolutely do need it. Let the condenser evaporate the water you'd use in the cooler.
@@daniellawson5127 I've tried this and measured air temp drops with an infrared gun and it totally works! Can't remember the numbers but the drop was over 10 degrees in the ducts. I just worry about gunking up the coils with calcium and whatever else is in the city water.
@@polylight they make coil cleaner for that i think you might have to get that from a ac supply house, or you could also use diluted clr, and that stuff really eats through deposits.

Absolutely a beautiful presentation . I had purchased a portable evaporative cooler for ham radio use in the field here in south Texas well I decided to use it in my house since my electricity bill was sky rocketed and a strange thing I noticed , it was a little to humid to be any good but I was able to dry out the air by settling my AC on 83° then using the evaporative cooler which brought the ait temp down another 10° and I'm not cycling the AC near as much this is a savings for me without a lot of effort.
I love your work and will be looking forward to improved iterations. I saw another homemade ac on TH-cam but it was very inefficient, as it used ice to cool water that was circulating in a copper pipe, Infront of a fan. You on the other hand have hit the nail in the head in terms energy efficiency. Keep up the good work!
Most of my country is extremely hot in the summer, nearly inhospitable. I've found that compressed stabilized earth bricks are great at regulating indoor Temp and humidity. For flourishing agriculture, the best I can think of is rain water harvesting.
Anyone aspiring to build or experiment with non-closed loop air conditioning systems in residential areas need to be aware of the dangers of microbial growth including legionnaires' disease which can be fatal.
Don't forget mold. Where I live, anything that stays damp for longer than a few days gets mold. The mold spores outside are incredible. No matter what I do, they still get into the house.
Would it be possible to add a chlorine system like they use for pools?
That' CaCl system is dehydrating and therefore antibiotic.
I wouldn't want my home smelling like a swimming pool as the chlorine evaporates into the air-doubt that's particularly healthy to breathe constantly either. Could add a submersible UV sterilization lamp to the final output tube to kill off any microbes before they exit. Would add to the power consumption, of course, and who knows how much heat it might put off. I doubt much would grow in the desiccant side, though, with such a high salt content.
Would it be possible to use a UV system in your stacks to help with microbial growth?

I have been in the HV/AC feild since the 80's...and I found that if you sprayed a mist onto the condenser coil way back in the early 90's, that you could reduce the energy being used on that unit...and I then built a loop to surround my condenser coil..and attached my condensate drain line ( pump ) to the loop to spray water onto the condenser coils when the condensate pump need to empty, and this was short burst of savings...but it did reduce the amount of energy that was needed to power the ac.

Brilliant presentation. Thank you! It feels like one can simplify this quite drastically. Let's say you run the salt water down one of the troughs of corrugated iron on your roof to evaporate much of the water and then cool it through a radiator and use the dried out water do dehumidify the room. Then you can use a swamp cooler inside. Four of the five evaporators in your system and all but one of the the radiators will have to be in a different space anyway.
Having said that, I really like this. I need to think on it a bit, but I suspect I'll be able to design an incredibly efficient AC and pool heater in one using this system. This is going to happen... and soon.
Ok, I'm impressed. This is very clever, and it's also good to learn about where the energy is used in air-conditioning. I'd assumed most of it was in the cooling itself, but it isn't. Thanks!

I get that it's for the clueless as well as the bit more advanced.. but unfortunately the need to be so thorough makes for hard watching for me.. that get to the punchline or what you got new to say thang.. when we get to where we can cool 3500 sqft in arizona in the summer 115*F ... not need a extra garage for the unit.. enjoy the concept and your effort..!
99.57% pure air
This is such a played-out cliche for anybody with even a moderate degree of ability in applied science. It wasn't even a major part of WW's character after the first season when entitlement, greed, and revenge took over.
Walter White IS real. I saw he on TV...
Very cool man.. thank you for sharing your knowledge. Thermal dynamics, hydro dynamics, Pascal's law, Ohm's law and the chemistry of desiccants. My mind becomes more enriched after watching each episode. You rock!!!
Excellent job! Thank you for teaching us.
I have an air conditioning background. I am so happy to see people finally developing something that is more efficient and getting away from what is allowed for refrigerant usage!!! I am also glad to see the ease of creation so most anyone wanting to can create themselves and thus saving money on installation and utility bills can do so!!! Awesome!!!
The systems as used today are very inefficient when other alternatives exist even using systems similar to current build but again are refused usage for similar reasons as to why we are almost stuck using fossil fuels....money and power!!!
Fuel is not made from "fossils". Lolz
Exxon already admitted in the 80s that oil is indeed abiotic, regrdless of all of the liberal militant mantra that it isn't.
Liberals don't drill and refine oil.
Exxon does.
Well that's my daily cerebral exercise done, off to watch kittens chasing balls of wool now.
Watching these videos just makes me realise how much I don't know, i'm inspired, humbled, embarrassed all at the same time, but mostly I'm thankful to learn something.
@Mr Brightside Individual videos are better to an extent, but there are still issues with not having course tracks and accreditation, homework, curation and q/a. Also, physical interaction with a professor and peers is essential for holistic understanding.
You shouldn't feel embarrassed about not knowing these things! The concepts he's discussing are from chemical engineering and are not something most people would be exposed to. It's actually amazing that your interests brought you to this and that you watched it!
Well said.
I hate watching kittens, got any dogs riding skateboards?
I’m not going to say, “Man, you’re way smarter than me.” Usually I’m on the other side of this conversation and those words help me get along in life. I finally subscribed to your channel after watching a few videos over the last month or so. With that in mind, I want you to know that my first reaction was to think you are an idiot. And then I felt the need to tell everyone how much smarter I am than you are. Now I understand how and why people get so intimidated so easily if I’m not really careful how quickly I introduce new ideas to them. You are most likely the brightest person that I have ever come across. Even fictional characters don’t match up with your abilities. And you manage to put things in a way that doesn’t appear showy or narcissistic. You genuinely enjoy learning for learnings sake and teaching for the sake of others. I wish I could spend more time around people like you.
Thanks!
Light a candle and start a channel. It's a great learning experience for both the creator and the audience.
This video is from 3 years ago. 1) I'm wondering if there have been any successful implementations of this concept? 2) Are there any technological advancements that might improve the results? Super interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.
What I enjoyed most about this video is it demonstrates the step by step process of invention by observation, asking questions and finding answers.
His children is so blessed to have him as a father. I for sure would be learning so much throughout my life with this man. :)
@@PysKa.512 Yeah that's actually trueand very insightful, therefore I've deleted my comment
WOW. I REALLY want to build one of these for my shop.
Thanks so many for sharing this. I'm from Brazil and I will try to implement this concept in my home.
For anyone who claims they've made a free energy device, I want a detailed demonstration like this
Lol... wait for the punchline.
Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath brother. Lol
No such thing, if there were your municipal electricity provider would be using it to produce electricity to increase their profit, arguing against that fact would be foolish
It's called a windmill.
@@gillenzfluff8380 You'll fall for anything then, never seen the birds killed by them, the waste byproduct from their construction, or one burn up because it didn't get shut down before a storm, lets not forget the trees that must be removed from the location
I just want to extend my deep appreciation for the effort in making science more achievable for all of us. It is always appreciated to learn a little more every day about everything that surrounds us and how it works.
Congratulations! One of the best videos that mixes science and green energy or ways to be more efficient and less power consumer. The way you talk to the audience seem to be like a engineer to engieer conversation, which makes it very interesting (sometimes with so basic explanations gets boring). For me as a beginer in this filed it cost me a litle more effort to keep up with the explanation. If I'm allowed to make some suggestions, 1 Make and show some schematics and/or diagrams of the system. 2 If you can team up in projects of this magnitude with someone who can build a control and monitoring system electronically, overall you'll get a merchantable aircon system..... Such a great video!!!
I got so tired of fake videos out there claiming free energy or something unrealistic by someone who knows nothing about thermodynamics or physics. Your videos are a breath of fresh air! Sure, there are some times where I'll disagree but at that point I'll be nit picking over a video that I enjoy so much. I'm always impressed by the technical considerations that went into the experiment or the design of the equipment that's in the video. Beyond that, you are an inspiration! I'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands, of viewers who just went with an idea that they weren't confident about and made it happen because of this channel.
Thank you, I genuinely hope so!
I really like the presenter speaking skills, but a diagram would be helpful.
That and a parts list.
@@i-love-comountains3850 not exactly, but it's hard to follow what happens in each column & tray.
I was thinking the same thing. And also he could do a diagram with some animation to help illustrate the flows and morments of air and water.
I gues its patent pending
AFAIK you can only patent something if it's not public yet
I love the rampant use of PC cooling parts in all your projects. Should consider going to LTX this year to get this channel more exposure. The quality is so high more people just need to see it
Would love to see a demonstration of a project there
@@MrBuggitt yah, bring a computer with some novel cooling solution there and exposure is a sure thing
_"So is that on air or liquid?"_
_"...well"_
Noooooo....
Keep it as secretive as possible!!!
Plz do not inform the masses!!!
Seriously tho, it needs to continue to be one of the best kept secrets!!!
Absolutely packed with information, great job.
I always dreamt of building my own air conditioner, solar panels and everything else for my home, also I'm thinking about making whiskey now, this is my second video, and I absolutely love you and that brain you've got, and the way you explained was like building Lego's, you're brilliant, keep up the awesomeness!!❤❤
6:37 Snow outside, the voigt tube speakers aren't completed yet. Looks like this video has been in the works for some time.
Snow outside also means he has a lot of dry air to boost up his "efficiency" =)
Canada.
I love the voice and pacing of the speech, not to mention how clearly he moves from idea to idea. Truly captivating presentation on a topic I care little about.
Please, consider becoming a professor. You would be a vast improvement over many of mine.
...Please tell me you see the irony of your statement. If not, then it makes sense that he's NOT a "professor" given that would put him in an environment where the ability to identify blatant logical paradoxes is absent.
@@EnFuegoDuo rude
@@fed9931 You seem to take this as a personal attack for some reason. I'm simply stating that your university has failed to teach you vital critical thinking skills by pointing out the logical paradox of your statement. I should have made more clear that I don't fault you for that necessarily however, it is distressing that instead of addressing the error in your logic, you reply with an ad hominem attack. I pointed out an empirical fact based on your statement. I highly advise studying logic and philosophy to help arm yourself with the tools to identify and avoid sophistry. Here is an olive branch of knowledge to help hone your thinking as it has mine: th-cam.com/video/6eGGGwrXKUI/w-d-xo.html Cheers.
@@russiannpcbot6408 Well played good sir!! Well played!
@@EnFuegoDuo lmao what logical paradox do you even think was made in the first place??
You have a smooth personality. Nice job, good mind. I worked in a HVAC company for 7 months to learn the systems. I assembled ones the size of a car up to 2000 sqft house. Power monsters. I was into envelope homes. Builder most of my life. Nice to hear someone explain the aspect of how it works. We had large wheels made of Aluminium corrogated that would turn through a part of the system. I wonder if Graphite would help in the system since it transfers heat energy well and electric.
I’m so incredibly impressed and look forward to implementing
I live in a humid environment and have long since wondered what could be done to a "swamp cooler" to make it work in my area. Now I know.
Great video, brilliant science, thanks for sharing.
If it's modestly humid this could work pretty good but the dehumidifing will be less effective as the humidity increases, I think the system will start to fight itself in more oppressive humidity
Meanwhile, TH-cam promotes stupid, dangerous and useless lifehack videos...
Instead of this masterpiece.
Hey 5 minute crafts saved my life when all I had was a 2 liter of coke.
Fun fact: you can pay youtube to promote your video.
Well they promoted it.. It was in my feed and I've never watched this channel before.
@@fourtwozero yea, same here finally some good content.
This "masterpiece" that is neither revolutionary nor something any sane person would want to have - there is a reason why we use closed loop systems normally and only with very strict regulations open loops are allowed to be sold.
But sure, if you do not have kids, go ahead and try it.
Thank you for educating us!
Getting a lot of nostalgia for Mr. Wizard, but meant for adults.
You did manage to cover most of the "but what about" thoughts that I had (using waste heat to dry the desiccant is a good move. CHP systems or really any of the absurd amount of waste heat we produce really drops the cost) but I either don't understand the concept of your evaporation tanks, or think the enthalpy of evaporating water would change your thermodynamic performance a bit.
I have no doubt the system works, as you say dehydration cooling, even with salt spray, is a relatively old technology, and systems having hot and cold sides are rather required to move heat around, but you really glossed over those evaporative tanks' effect on the system as a whole. Are they a cost saving measure over simple radiators on the hot side? I'm all for field-expedience, but the fan consumption for radiators at the low power consumption you're discussing can be considerable.
Still a wonderful proof of concept. Thanks!
An A/C TH-cam video that talks about COP in it's begging, absolutely deserves my respect.
Im a tradesman in construction, and this look fantastic. Built with off the shelf components makes this useful anywhere. I noticed how you build the fan ports (very clever) and think I see a way to up the efficiency further.
In each of the 3 columns, at the base, there is air restriction from the direction "sanitary tee". Air has to fight back around a roughly 120 degree corner. Clearly, it was used to keep the falling water from pushing out the air fan ports.
If that tee was flipped in the columns, the air flow goes smoothly up. Comparatively, it could have a large effect on efficiency, for each stage of the process.
The challenge now is preventing water from easily flowing out the fan port. This can be done several ways.
At the first joint above the tee, install the bio ball screen across the pipe opening. Just below the screen, make a lip, splash guard or cone diffuser to direct water flow away from the fan port. Most designs can be 3d printed, or made from cutting different sized pvc pipe.
That will add in a small amount air restriction, but still a respectable performance increase.
It may be worth while to make the columns taller, to offset the 6"-12" of bio ball area changed from moving the screen up.
So clearly explained the reason n purpose of each components and why how and when it works... . Thanks you very much for sharing your complex knowledge
I did 3 years of Physics in University and never used it - Ended being a Railway Traffic Controller - I'm amazed with your channel ;o)
