Superb presentation Sir! If school was like this, the world would be a smarter place.
I’ve seen ALL of TH-cam’s inductor videos and this IS THE BEST of them all. For me. I understood everything you said. Solid content.
This is quality, crystal-clear explanation. This makes it clear how to experiment and how to achieve a desired goal. Thank you!
Great Video, your crystal radio series has got me building them.
Thanks, I've been working on Mendocino motors and coils for charging (induction) and signaling (with a hall sensor or a reed relay) a bike light design. This comes in handy!
the best explanation about inductors design ive ever seen
I love you 💓 and your channel.
I am teaching Physics in India for the first time and your channel is a huge resource!! I can't believe that you are providing it for free. Thank you and God bless 🙏
Excellent tutorial Sir. As inductors have never been my strong subject, my brain was overheating a little, but i'm gonna stick with it!! Thank you.
Thank you very much for making this video and the online calculator.
Thanks! I was looking for a guide like this for weeks!
this is one of the best videos on inductor's I've seen so far. Straigh tto the point, practical, and easy to understand. thank you for sharing! :)
Keep doing what you do! You are helping big time! Thank you :)
Great job. Clear and direct. Thanks.
That is great. I need to make a delay line with inductors and this info will really help.
Fantastic tutorial - much appreciated! Thanks.
What an interesting way to simply the inductance making...luv it
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Excellent video content. It is worthy to see the video.
Thank you for this tutorial, it is really excellent and a really simple way to understand how it works. Better than some tutorial in my own language :)
OMG. You must be a teacher. If not then you would make a great one. I always learn a lot from your videos. You are the best i have come across so far on the internet. And the internet is quite large.
Superb explanation. Many thanks to you.
The video I didn't know I've been looking for for a year. 👌
I love the way you explain it. Makes it simple to understand. The first time I glanced at the formula, it was very intimidating until you broke it down.
Cool. That's exactly what my goal was so I'm glad to hear my explanation worked. Hopefully you'll be a little less intimidated by formulas in the future since that'll open up whole new worlds.
Great Video. I wish there was a guide like this when I was a kid :) No doubt I will be linking to this one a lot :)
I especially like the mentioning of all the Formulas, including the thumb rules and rounding off's that regularly get used when designing coils. Those little details can get a lot of people stuck on the theory unnecessarily. When they would learn more by just forging ahead and giving it a go so they can see how it works.
Thanks. Yeah, formulas are great guides. They're a lot of knowledge compressed into a small area. There's still a lot they don't say, but they go a long way.
Formulas are easy to google. Its not always so easy to get a quick yet accurate guide to using them. Its very helpful to show how they work and which numbers are constants and which ones can be rounded etc to make it all more user friendly while maintaining an acceptable error margin :) For beginners looking up LC circuits it can be very overwhelming. Now thanks to this video it needn't be :D
Do you mean the thickness of the wire? The only effect the thickness of the wire will have is that thicker wire will mean a longer coil and length is a variable in the equation (see the inductance formula in the video). If you're trying to keep the coil a certain length then a thicker wire will mean that you can fit fewer turns into the same length.
If by thickness of the coil you mean the wire thickness' affect on the coil's diameter, then the diameter includes the thickness of the wire. That's because the diameter is measured from the center of the wire on one side to the center of the wire on the other side. The diameter goes into calculating the area variable in the formula.PS. Sorry for the delayed reply. For some unknown reason, TH-cam flagged your comment as spam and then didn't tell me about it until now.
@@RimstarOrg I googled lots of times to find a formula to calculate the inductence but each websites shows different different formulas .Which one is the correct ?Please reply me too.Here are some examples 👉L=MaN^2A/d 👉L=D^2n^2/45D+100l 👉and your formula.
Theese formulas were in my electronics textbooks already 50 years ago. Before TH-cam.
Very informative and precise to the subject matter
Thank you so much for this. i was mullung over this while trying to build a primitve smps.
THANKS!!!! I was looking for this for a long time... I’m building my own we n low-pass crossover
That helped my learning curve, thanks!
Nice! Thanks for this knowledge sharing!
Thanks a lot for the calculator. IT really helps.
Hello! that's a wonderful receiver! thank you for sharing.
Good work sir. Thank you.
Really informative, thanks so much!
Nice this help to find out more about coils, and i might eventualy learn to make my own circuts after my desiger
Man you made this too late for me because I learned this over the summer.... Man you explained it so much simpler. Thanks :D
Thanks for presentation!! That's an awesome lesson!
Thanks Dan! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching all these years.
Completely 100% awesome video. Thank you so much.
great video. lots of neat info.
thanks, nice and informative information. very useful
I found your calculator online before finding this vid, Its very helpful thanks!!! 👍😎🇬🇧
Glad to hear it helped! Thanks!
You are absolutely wonderful! Thank you very much.
Thanks for posting.
Great video! I've used a few good online inductance calculators over the years. Having a good DMM with an inductance range makes life very easy. :-)
This man is what i call A GENIUS !!
Thanks so much. A lot of my projects will be much easier :)
Thanks! I couldn't find the answer to why Tesla coils use air cores until your video mentioning it! Thankyou!
Thanks for the video, I’m currently working on a coil for a bike light and want to calculate the amount of watt being output from a coil. How would that relate to the inductance?
thanks for these nice information about coil
Great Video . I request you to make video on tuned transistor amplifier design. It should include , design of biosing resisters , tank circuit etc
Super, very imformative ! 🔥
Excellent explanations too good and very nice vlog . from India take a like.
This is really helpful ... thank you
Very clear Sir. Thank you.
Really useful, thanks!
very good video helped me learn this beter. thank you
This video is very help full tnx
Very Good Video my friend thanks .
Nicely explaination
Mond blowing honest explaination...!!!
Wow. Finally someone who knows what the hell he's talking about. I've asked so many people about everything in this video, and almost no one could tell me the science behind making a coil. Nice job.
Good tutorial
full explanation thank u
Excellent!
Hello RimStar, can you please do calculations video for an induction AC motor ? thank you
Great video thanks a lot
Thanks really helpful 👍❤️😎
You're a great man god bless
Question.....Also Merry x-mas!.....I just built a double balanced mixer.....I bought some toroid cores from Jaycar. Turns out they are "iron cores" usually used for EMI suppression. My question is.....does the type of core become more critical when frequency increases? I think my DBM is actually an RF attenuator! When I fed my nano-VNA directly into the antenna socket of the DC 3.5Mhz rcvr I built using this DBM I could hear the sweep tone it was generating in the 80m band....I have ordered the correct toroids...hopefully this will fix it! Are air cores usually ok for HF (below 30mHz) if I don't have a toroid?
Thanks for the great content!
Thank u very helpful 😊
I have a question, what would the formula be if it was a square coil? Like in stator of electric motors, or is that reduced to a circular coil for simplification?
great video.
★ Awesome Report Thank-you ★
nice content
I hope you keep update :)
Thank you
Very nice
:O
Omg please please please do one for the capacitance of coils too!
Thanks You re the best
Just wanted to know...are ferrites available in blocks or slabs for buying ....online?
Thanks for the helpful information; how does wire guage/ coil resistance play into this? Appreciate you sharing some great basics
The thinner the wire the less current can flow through
Well you blew my mind.
Good video.
Only just found this on YT so wonder if you have done a vid on making toroid coils, or the calcs thereof?
No, sorry, I haven't.
very nice sir
How many turns on a coil for perpetual pendulum?
Does it matter which side of the coil uses positive and negative? I’m using 3volts to power the coil.. does that effect the number of turns I’ll need?
I like it better when folks use units in physical equations. For example, the 'mysterious' constant 1.26ee-6 is really just the magnetic permeability of free space in units of H/m. As such the distances should also be in meters.
thank you
Hello ! I enjoyed yor video very much , it teached me a lot but i have one question : What material would you use to build a wind turbine generator ?
Congratulations for Your Great Work
I don't know, I've never built a wind turbine generator. I'd imagine you would not use an air core though. Likely ferrite or layers of steel insulated from each other to minimize eddy currents. I'd suggest searching on TH-cam for DIY wind turbine generators -- I know I've seen them around, though I don't recall any details.And thanks.
Thank you! That was very inspiring! :) Though... I need to do a specific coil with multiple leyers and on Iron-Silicon sheets ... its for audio crossover, and since this coil that i'm trying to build needs to cross a speaker at about 175 Hz, I definately need Iron core, because by my calculations it has to be around 6.2 mH... its huge if I have to build it on air core! But I do not know what is the permeability of this type of alloy (iron-silicon)... on wikipedia it says its around 19-90! I don't know what to do anymore... my sheets have 15 mm width/ 71 mm in lenght and I have used 30 of them because they are only 0.3 mm thick
What kind of coil do I need to use when I have a esaki oscillator hooked up to a DC to DC boost converter ???
Is there any formula for calculating the inductance of one-turn saddle-shaped coil?
Thanks
Does shape affect how an inductor behaves? Not in terms of measured or calculated inductance but in how that inductor responds to changing frequency or loading or in transmitting? For example, if I had two 240uH inductors, one on a round tube, and one on an egg shaped oval tube (say I taped a sharpie to the cardboard tube then wound the coil so I had a nice prominence for my wiper) would there be a difference in how they behaved?
Hello sir,
I hav one question about tunning inductance...
Sir suppose i am going to generate some magnetic field so that their need one tunning inductance and magnetic field inductor. ...........
My que..... how to calculate or relation between the tunning indutanc and their magnetic field inductor ....
thankyou so much....!!!!
this is nice
its really interesting
thanks
Question: My circuit consists of a 1 to 30hz oscillator where the output is amplified to drive a 14.3uh flat coil but I wish to substitue the flat coil for a Helmhultz pair with a distance between them of 10 to 12 inches and coil height from between 2 to 12 inches or ideally two separate coils of 2 and 12. What are the calculations for that?
ps: The current flat coil design the magnetic field strength is about 3 Gauss for 5%
duty cycle and about 34 Gauss for 95% duty cycle.
Hi very good
In my childhood i created this with different pieces of wire join together and wound on 3 inch peace of wood,
Use 50 oham diode it works amazing with out antenna and earth ,and also generate power to glow LED .
But others many many experiment failed at same time.
I realized first coil wounded with natural frequency that catches frequencies and convert into power.
I want to glow an LED.
How you can apply this formula for a multi layer coil? Let’s say for a crossover network in a speaker system. Do I have to use the same formula for each layer with the small diameter variation, then considering all coils in parallel?
For multilayer you need different formulas. Try googling "coil inductance formula multilayer".
I would like to build a Crystal radio with the use of coils. I am a big fan of Konstantin Raudive and the circuits he has created. I would like the ability to cover frequencies below the AM band. How is this calculated ? Is it possible ?
I don't know how low you can go but I imagine you can go below AM frequencies. I talk about the calculations in this video here th-cam.com/video/tjD9I95RAbw/w-d-xo.html about LC circuits.
