More turbo nerd - this series is awesome! Also, large props to Seasonic, this is an excellent piece of sponsored content, and it does actually make me even more likely to choose their products in the future once the GPU prices return to normal.
Bulk capacitors would light you up. They're not kidding with that 250V on the side of them. And you have to double that because they're in series. Has to do with how the voltage doubling circuit works in a PC PSU. The switch on the side for 120-240 VAC input. When you switch it into 120 it doubles the voltage to bring it up to 240.
Great execution! When I read the title and started the video I was preparing myself to close it after a minute because such a topic can be incredibly boring if not well presented. Switching the host throughout the video, with clear topic separation, and without hectic cuts, gave the video a pleasant flow. Probably takes a bit of courage to post "such" an educational video in the current YT environment so thanks for the well-executed, effort and for fulfilling your guy's influencers' task to also educate.

Nor I. Knowing Mehdi has even BEEN on LTT (what with them both being in the Vancouver metro area), I'm shocked they didn't get a guest spot, or at least permission to use his voice for it. Cause that would have been awesome.
As a sophomore in EE, and a frequent viewer of the channel, I very much enjoyed this content. I think you made the topic very interesting and appealing. Please do more!
There's a very specific joy and excitement you get when you watch a video talk about something you went through university for and understanding everything that was talked and referenced about. As nerdy and boring the topic sounds, it was a super engaging video for me 🙂
I wish he said "60 + poop." I thought it was funny, but didn't quite laugh out loud, I think because turd in my mind refers more to the object than the material.
The proper term for that transformer is a step down transformer (for those curious) which means it lowers the output voltage compared to the input. Most people are more familiar with step up transformers (like the big ones outside or in buildings, or your typical car's it ition coil). This is just for those who are less educated in electronic components who are curious.
I have a BSc in Electrical Engineering and 6 years of electronics design experience, and this video taught me about soft switching with an LC resonant circuit! Good job.
I know... how strange!? Still have respect for both, but didnt sit right with me. For how much content LMG puts out daily\weekly; detailed PSU content coming days after GNs - just seems like a shot at GN not something they have been working on because they wanted to.
LMG goes weeks between concept, writing, shooting, editing, and airing. Even live events are pre-planned and scripted. GN did a good intro to power supplies, with a focus on their intent to test power supplies with their equipment more so than the grade 9 introduction to electricity. LMG has also done a good piece on power supplies in line with a series of pieces they have done on parts of your computer at a good grade 9 introduction to electricity and grade 10 introduction to switch mode. There are easily two dozen other youtube videos on this same topic as well, search and you will find many from this grade 9/10 level to digikey employed engineer level.
I don't really stop to comment on youtube videos that often, but I really want to sat that I love this "Turbo Nerd" series. That's kind of the perfect balance of entertainment and information to me. Good work LMG, and greetings from Italy!

Thank you so much for this. Electrical engineering student. Struggled through a class on power supplies. Several lightbulb moments throughout this video!

Hearing power factor correction took me back to my EE clg days. Used to have a tough time understanding why the hell they are not in sync. Understanding the full operation of power supply might need one to have master degree. Great job in explaining the basic concepts so easily.
This is grossly unfair to your professor. What he was explaining is probably everything about rectifiers, all the math pertaining to their operation, specifics that arise from the material used to build the thing and probably a lot more than I can think of right now. Do you need all that to be able to make a circuit? No. But that's the difference between a technician and an engineer, and there is also the physicist of course. Chances are your professor could make a crude rectifier completely from scratch using only household objects. You might think you don't need that kind of information and you might be right but more knowledge is always better if you can hold all that in and will come in handy sometime. I experience that every day.
@@ahmetrefikeryilmaz4432 I think what they said was true with a lot of Education though, if your school, college or university teach you something and you still don't understand it, there are thousands of youtube tutorials to get you to understand it, and you usually will, much faster than school teaching you
I don't know which is better, the fact that Linus didn't know that was going to blow the fuse, or the fact that his employees set him up for failure and laughed
Alex's explanation was so calm and relaxing and then suddenly Linus comes in with "HEYYY, THERE IT IS!" It was kinda like the "snap back to reality" meme.
*"I would strongly recommend NOT licking these..."* LMAO... my lab partner did in College just to prove it was no big deal. It did not go well. He then nearly killed himself changing the main resistive element in his stove... which he had not unplugged.
For anyone wondering, the phenomenon of using a coil to generate EMF (electromotive force) in another coil is mutual induction. The current in primary coil is used to generate a magnetic field that produces an EMF in the secondary coil. This EMF then produces current in the secondary coil. Now, the EMFs of both the coils are in the ratio E²/E¹ = N²/N¹ (where E² and E¹ are the EMF of secondary and primary coil respectively and N² and N¹ are the number of turns in secondary and primary coil respectively). Now if the number of turns in sencondary coil is less than the number of turns in the primary coil, the EMF generated would be too, and vice versa. This is how transformers help in lowering (step down transformers) or increasing (step up transformers) the voltage supply. Bonus tip: the type of Transformer Linus showed is a core type transformer. There's also a shell type transformer, where both the primary amd secondary coils are wound to the same bar or soft-iron core. Those are relatively efficient.
This video is what got me into electrical and mechanical engineering. Now I'm one year away from graduating with a degree in Mechanical and Energy Engineering and I still love it XD
Awesome vid! Do more educational stuff like this! Go into depth on more stuff like this. You could have a whole video on how that switching resonance thing works. I had to use that the other day and it's so weird. I need to know how it works.
Nice to see Seasonic get some attention. I recall telling one of my friends, who styles himself as a computer nerd, that I was going to get a Seasonic and he had never heard of them.
Gamers Nexus was less educational and more amateurish in their presentation; they tried to educate and then review a psu in one video. Patrick's explanation of how the psu works was a quick whirlwind of technical jargon being thrown out without going into how they work. Steve and Patrick are learning as they go and try to put out a good review on a psu by supplying what data they can without checking the video over with experts in the PSU industry. Linus's video here focused on the educational aspect of how a psu works, and took advantage of the access they had to experts in addition to providing references for interested viewers. This is a much more organized approach, that is to separate how a psu works from reviewing one.
@@dont1973 I kind of admire Gamers Nexus' approach in trying something to see what works, what lands with viewers and shape how they approach this in the future. It's less polished than LTT but they don't have the same resources or staffing levels. It's very brave and they are obviously pushing themselves, which is great to see. I really think as an audience we are in a lucky position to be able to get such different styles of content and different approaches and I hope Steve and the gang get their footing as they have with other topics.
Correction: it's 120 / 240 Volts. You might measure a slightly different value (I've heard it called 110, 108, and 114), however overall, it's 120 volts. Edit: some people actually do get 208 volts, but that's a special case that mostly happens in apartments
@@loeffel999 the ones the get power to sata devices. and there are still many things that still use molex for power. and with 3.3v and 5v coming from the board it needs connectors to supply these devices with power.
It's awesome to see that amid the necessary sponsored videos and digital eye-candy we still see you guys turning out educational videos. Seriously, stuff like this is awesome.
Computer electronics such as video cards actually use very very small capacitors...some of the systems i have worked on, the capacitors are measured in Farads (not micro farads)...computers are actually rather low power devices.
@@TheFalazure Sigh. I've repaired digital electronics since the '70s. Those 'farad' range capacitors are not low ESR. I have serviced equipment that used 1000A, 5V power supplies, to produce NTSC video. I troubleshot new MC68340 and other MPU based embedded controllers at the factory. One was part of the ISS as the embedded controller of a kU band uplink for Data, /voice and Video. I worked on every digital board, used in that system which provided the ISS with a 40Mb/s uplink in 2000. I started working in electronics in 1960.
@jshowa o haha I totally know. I didn't mean that seriously at all. College has immense value especially for subjects like engineering. I'm just more surprised to be seeing college level technicals on TH-cam videos

Correction: it's 120 / 240 Volts. You might measure a slightly different value (I've heard it called 110, 108, and 114), however overall, it's 120 volts.
Edit: some people actually do get 208 volts, but that's a special case that mostly happens in apartments
Uk it's 230 officially but we get a mix between 230 240
Couldn't resist just when I saw "Turbo Nerd" again
*YES MORE*
Now do one telling me where all the cables are on a motherboard or how SSD’s work
"Where alle the cables are on a motherboard".... What cables?
@@loeffel999 the ones the get power to sata devices. and there are still many things that still use molex for power. and with 3.3v and 5v coming from the board it needs connectors to supply these devices with power.
@@loeffel999 oh, I meant headers.
It's awesome to see that amid the necessary sponsored videos and digital eye-candy we still see you guys turning out educational videos. Seriously, stuff like this is awesome.
Hi Linus, hi everybody sometimes Tech tips feels like a classroom, i like it
"Dude, this one has a 1600W power supply!"
"Watt are they thinking? Ohm my!"
🤦♂️
Ba-dum tss
"These big chungus capacitors" -some LMG employee
madison 100%
zoomers with no formal education are a plague on factual information
@@sqlevolicious No kidding. He should go back to cleaning live light bulb sockets with his tongue.
Computer electronics such as video cards actually use very very small capacitors...some of the systems i have worked on, the capacitors are measured in Farads (not micro farads)...computers are actually rather low power devices.
@@TheFalazure Sigh. I've repaired digital electronics since the '70s. Those 'farad' range capacitors are not low ESR. I have serviced equipment that used 1000A, 5V power supplies, to produce NTSC video.
I troubleshot new MC68340 and other MPU based embedded controllers at the factory. One was part of the ISS as the embedded controller of a kU band uplink for Data, /voice and Video. I worked on every digital board, used in that system which provided the ISS with a 40Mb/s uplink in 2000. I started working in electronics in 1960.
This video was so much better than I expected and I thought it was going to be pretty solid to begin with
I was waiting for this video since the channel's existence
I thought Electroboom was gonna magically come into video the first time Linus said “rectifier”
As an electrical engineer, I confirm everything they said. It was also a very nice video!
Seasonic was always the DADDY since I assembled my first PC 2013, and even might before that but I don't remember myself good enough before I was 3
Mehdi army is going to love those rectifier voices hearing in their mind
Why do Alex and Colin sound like they haven't slept in five days? XD
Damn why did I pay for college when Linus can just give me the quick break down on power electronics lmao
Ah yes, the good ol "wow this video explained so much better than my college professor!11!1!!!1!".
Imagine paying for college
Why did I read Ugly's Electrical References, when This was kinda all I needed to understand XD
@jshowa o haha I totally know. I didn't mean that seriously at all. College has immense value especially for subjects like engineering. I'm just more surprised to be seeing college level technicals on TH-cam videos
This was a well-made and very informative video. Thank you for this. I also appreciate the shout-out to ElectroBoom as he teaches electricity.
I'm surprised that you didn't collaborate with ElectroBOOM for this video
"FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!!!!!!"
-Mehdi
I am watching this video while my physics teacher is teaching about conversion of ac to dc current... Linus did it better.. but I was like "universe want me learn this😂"
The universe has big plans for you young man.
I knew I would be too adhd to fully grasp this one BUT I really don’t know how you guys could have done this better I learned a lot!

0:27 amazing continuity yall
WTH, It went from a Gigabyte to an HP Odense. Liz Lemon would be disappointed.
7:37 Linus - “In Laymans terms”
Literally everyone else - “In what way was that Laymans terms?”
people who work with electronic circuits can understand this perfectly
2:32 missed a golden opportunity for a Electroboom Cameo XD
