@@prydzen Everybody finds different things to be complex. For example I find bridge rectifiers to be complex while you find making friends to be complex. Maybe you just had bad teachers.
I am a graduating senior that has taken 2 years of electrical classes, and everything I’ve studied finally fell into place after watching this video. Very informative, thanks!
Would you believe I didn't know about electroboom's FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER vids until AFTER I made that video??? Otherwise I may have had to shout that into the camera!!!
Please make some full bridge rectifier shout in the next Video! The rest of my life i cant read "full bridge rectifier" without thinking to electroboom
@@quitschi9954 man im doing an electrotechnical school i had a professor explain to me the diode bridge and didnt understand it. i went on youtobe while i was bored and completeley undestand it from a guy in his backyard
I agree he did a lovely job using LED's in place of boring, expensive, and opaque NORMAL diodes. The best way to play around with electronic components without spending a penny is to do it in-silico. That is, within a simulation. Here's a simulation I threw together of exactly the same circuit. tinyurl.com/wsbaops That's not just an animation btw, It's a full featured electronic circuit simulator able to run almost any valid circuit. Amazingly, it can take arbitrary inputs and inject them into a circuit (ie .wav files) and output signals you can analyze with any sound editor.
hey even a guy who's been playing with electronics for the last 10 years is learning something. that full bridge rectifier demo was excellent. i never thought about how the electricity was flowing through it.
Soldered in my first diode near 40 years ago, before my 10th birthday even. Been playing with electronics and electrical stuff ever since, from building tiny little circuits all the way up to working with substation switch gear, and some nifty 3-phase factory systems. Part of my income these days is derived from designing circuits for small and medium-scale automation projects. I've not once heard an explanation for a rectifier as simple or effective as yours. The same goes for your explanations around how the generation works. I've never seen someone tackle it in such an effective and understandable manner. The visuals using actual components (rather than simulations or animations) makes it much clearer for many. Gonna have to add a larger workshop and 3-d printer to the house :)
I was initially more interested in the actual physical build of this but as someone familiar with the subjects you put years worth of understanding in to 14 minutes. This made more sense and covered more subjects than some courses. You have an amazing talent for teaching here.
Just took 6 weeks of bread boards and scratching my head with confusion just to have this explained so visually well, the way you used the LEDs on the bridge, then added the capacitor to show it smooths the power! Appreciate it !! Great work!
Believe it or not that's about where I was prior to making the video. When I saw the opportunity for the visual, I knew it had to be done! Thanks for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it. 👍
In all my school days i thought that I would never understand Electrical, but you are teaching me more than my teachers! And I'm not even american! Thank you kindly, sir!
4 years of high school after which i can say i didn't learn anything...i am glued with amazement and interest to your video and explanations and want to learn more. Kinda sad that 20 years ago there was no YT or people with passion to explain things. I only had teachers that came to do the work just for the paycheck... Thank you for doing what you love and sharing.
Thank you, I am starting a electrician apprenticeship and I wanted to get a better understanding about electricity, the main reason for me becoming an electrician is to gain the knowledge to do something like this but large scale with a river to have off the grid power for my house
When you applied the load to the alternator with the LED lights, you could hear and see the change in load from the water... This is bloody brilliant mate. You have taught me so much from two videos, I haven't seen the third yet!!
As someone with a degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, this video was amazing at explaining how these things work. If I could like this video twice, I would. Well done!
I'm a mechanic and thought I was good with electrical - but never fully understood how the rectifiers on lawn mowers and small outboard boat engines worked... Electricity always follows the shortest path to ground, so your full bridge rectifier with LED instead of regular diodes REALLY helped me to fully understand the process! Awesome video and nice work!
I've never heard, let alone seen, rectifiers explained like that, and it makes SO much more sense meow! Thank you! You've earned my subscription! Well done! I'm on to Part #3, and I look forward to future videos!

Technically it's called a full wave bridge rectifier. For beginners in electronics, this is the best explanation of how a bridge rectifier works. Bravo.
I've taken classes on electronics long ago, and have always been interested in the topic, but you make it easy to understand in very simple terms without it seeming "dumbed down". I'd call this "technically simplified" lol

You adding water resistance by having your "nozzle" at the bottom. Change to nozzle on the top side of your Pelton wheel so that the weight of the water will be going with gravity (down).
But it slightly has more potential energy being at the bottom (farthest from the top). Also, the pelton wheel actually works better in this configuration. If the nozzle were at the top, the blades don‘t really "catches" momentum of water going down. It is designed to deflect the main direction, and they do so by sending the water back radially away from the center of the wheel. Guess where the water tends to go with this setup? Downwards, the same direction of the deflection. The core characteristic of this particular design is that it almost eliminate water "reflection" going the same direction of the source making the source‘s momentum undisturbed. If the jet is on top, the wheel will work to deflect it upwards see? So overall, this setup is better.
I'm from Africa access to things like 3d printers, delivery services, tools and materials for projects are very hard to come by ,seeing how you use them and how these tools improve your projects and efficiency is admirable,please keep on making videos such that when the time comes when I have access to such things I will know what to do with the understanding I get from this channel !!!🙏🙏

This must be the most stimulating video to inspire young people to follow a career in science or engineering. The combination of practical workshop construction and experimenting together with simple but highly effective graphics and theory make the whole project stand in a league of its own.

I thank you immensely for doing these videos, all the theory I learned in physics in combination with circuits all wrapped up nicely in one video as the much need demonstration of what engineering is and why I am falling in love with it.
What's the fideo where he was sitting next to a whiteboard with a transformer and full bridge rectifier on it and said "And that gets fed into a FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIAH"
3D printing rocks! ....NOT FORGETTING that there must be some design software somewhere, so you can design these 3D shapes and then tell the 3D printer to make the item in question.
Quite simply, this was far and away the best, clearest, and most understandable description of how a bridge rectifier works that I've ever seen. Well done!
The way you edited this is freaking wonderful. You go through your whole thought process, you explain what you're doing in clear and understandable ways, and you make interesting content! You're like a practical Bill Nye!
@@QuintBUILDs Why not reposition the direction of the jet from a 90 degree angle (versus vertical) to a 10 to 25 degree angle (from vertically down), so that a lot more gravitational energy is captured from the jet of water?
Don't know what your name is but we need to put Professor in front of it! You have probably taken 3 years of schooling and put it into 5 minutes! All bow down!
it's crazy how this guy made electricity so easy to understand. it's a true test of knowledge if someone can teach someone from 0, and this guy blew me away with how easy this was to follow.
I have wanted to understand the principal of a rectifier for years now and thanks to your video I do. What a great way to demonstrate the concept, it’s gone a long way to helping me understand the fundamentals of generators/alternators etc. Will share with friends! Thanks Quint!
When you watch a random video on a guy generating power from rain, and end up with a degree in hydroelectric engineering. (Obviously there's more to know)
That was the most impressive explanation of a bride rectifier ever. I am so intimidated to learn about this because I cannot think of it visually. Thanks for being a great teacher
I'm amazed by how well you've explained this. Thanks. I'm not building a raingutter generator, but I am working on a very simple alternator. This helps immensely to understand what I'm reading.
Some film their cats - others come up with an interesting topic, script, build stuff, film it, edit the footage and end up enlighting people. Dude. You are awesome!
I've watched many videos showing how you can use old motors to generate power for use in the home, all with the same components included in your video, but your video has helped me understand how each component works and what it does, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! I'm looking forward to designing and making my own motor/generator. What makes my future project even more exciting is that i too have a 3d printer, so i can design and assemble my own motor. Once again thank you so much for your great explanation!!
12:40 - the pelton turbine is at it's working point - the water droplets fall off straigt down, meaning they have transferred all their kinetic energy into the wheel. That's what a pelton wheel is about to aim for... Well demonstrated Mr. Quint!
I took electrical engineering in college as a prereq. I barely passed, one of the biggest issues I had in my tests were on the sections about rectifiers. You explained a full bridge rectifier in a way that I understood how it worked immediately, something a 10 year professional teacher and a $100 textbook utterly failed to do.
I finally understand bridge rectifiers. I've been a multi trade tech for over a decade and there's a lot of electrical work involved with the work. Electricity I've always chocked up as magic. I've worked with UPS systems that used bridge rectifiers and pulse phase inverters. I knew the diagrams for them but I still didn't get how the inverter actually worked because everything is self taught. Thanks for the lesson.
You have taught me more about electronics and electricity than my physics teachers could. Why have I never heard of your channel during my final year in high school. Thank you.
This is my favorite part of TH-cam, small connections made across the globe. The sun is just coming up here but I've already got a sketchpad covered with notes for my next video. Can't wait to share!
this is fantastic. you remind me just like my dad who always comes up with crazy outlandish builds and ideas around his home. he worked at a power station and loves all things mechanical and green and this channel is exactly the kind of thing I wish he would make as you share a similar personality. thank you for teaching the public in an easy to understand and fun way about physics, maths and cheap/free power generation :) can go along way to improving peoples homes and livelyhood. this Channel is my new favourite haha love your work
This is one of the best explanations and visual representations of a full wave bridge rectifier I've seen. Love the 3D printer and your workshop. So much time on your hands that you can mess around with a rain gutter hydro alternator. You look pretty young to be retired.
This video series is a microcosm of the Industrial Revolution, in that creative solutions led to advances in efficiency, which led to new ideas. Oh, and kudos for the excellent demonstration of a bridge rectifier. Brilliant idea to use LED's to show the current flow.
This was awesome. These fun little experiments show so much. I asked my kids how many of these would we need to run the space heater. Blew their minds.
Came here for inspiration, stayed for the best explanations of fundamental electrical principles... inflating balloons and the LED maze? pure brilliance!!!
This is by far the most approachable explanation of an alternator & rectifier I have ever encountered. Blows out of the water all the lectures & labs I have ever experienced during my days at uni... thank you for all the effort ! ;-)
i've just found you today, and you've taught me more in the last few hours than i've learned in awhile, you break things down so easily and simply, i understand all these vague concepts so much better because of you. thank you for your service
An inspired use of LEDs to illustrate the full bridge rectifier. I knew how it worked before watching the video, but seeing it visualised like this is brilliant.

this is fantastic. you remind me just like my dad who always comes up with crazy outlandish builds and ideas around his home. he worked at a power station and loves all things mechanical and green and this channel is exactly the kind of thing I wish he would make as you share a similar personality. thank you for teaching the public in an easy to understand and fun way about physics, maths and cheap/free power generation :) can go along way to improving peoples homes and livelyhood. this Channel is my new favourite haha love your work
This is one of the best explanations and visual representations of a full wave bridge rectifier I've seen. Love the 3D printer and your workshop. So much time on your hands that you can mess around with a rain gutter hydro alternator. You look pretty young to be retired.
This video series is a microcosm of the Industrial Revolution, in that creative solutions led to advances in efficiency, which led to new ideas. Oh, and kudos for the excellent demonstration of a bridge rectifier. Brilliant idea to use LED's to show the current flow.
Even though I already knew all this, I can say with confidence this video has the best explanation of a rectifier (in layman's terms) ever.
Really impressed by the degree of improvement you got from a home made alternator - definately didn't expect the power output to double!
This was awesome. These fun little experiments show so much. I asked my kids how many of these would we need to run the space heater. Blew their minds.
Dude, that was the best explanation of a full bridge rectifier I have ever seen! Well done!
I had no idea rectifiers were so simple in construction. Fascinating stuff.
Came here for inspiration, stayed for the best explanations of fundamental electrical principles... inflating balloons and the LED maze? pure brilliance!!!
This is by far the most approachable explanation of an alternator & rectifier I have ever encountered. Blows out of the water all the lectures & labs I have ever experienced during my days at uni... thank you for all the effort ! ;-)
Thanks! Mine too!!! Would love to see this in every tech classroom...
Today I learned more in 15 minutes than I did in 5 years of school. Thank you. Subscribed
i've just found you today, and you've taught me more in the last few hours than i've learned in awhile, you break things down so easily and simply, i understand all these vague concepts so much better because of you. thank you for your service
Same sentiment as the below comments. An extremely good and yet simple, explanation of how it works. Appreciated.
An inspired use of LEDs to illustrate the full bridge rectifier. I knew how it worked before watching the video, but seeing it visualised like this is brilliant.
