@@KyriosApo Inductors use current to release their energy, but capacitors are technically an open circuit. Without the resistor, the inductor would have no way to release its stored energy that created a voltage difference across the capacitor. So the short answer is that the resistor is what creates the voltage difference across the capacitor, otherwise you would have no voltage drop across the capacitor, which means no stored energy.
@turk4082 Thank you for your response. The capacitor is an open circuit after it has been charged. During its charging state it is not an open circuit, current runs towards its terminals in order to create charge. The LC circuits work this way. The inductor charges the capacitor and vice versa, except if you put a diode in between. That' s why am I asking what's the purpose of the resistor...

I am exploring making a circuit for testing LEDs and Zeners, using an 18650 battery and a toroidal transformer to obtain up to 100 Volts at the output, and you have read my mind, and made this wonderful video! And still practicing my English too, thanks to your clear pronunciation! Greetings from Argentina!😄
Wow! Lots to think about; and of course like these short and to the point. Great setup - I thought you were going to place an electronic switch in there at the end, but you basically made your own with the function generator and the pnp transistor. Amazing!
@@elewizard really thank you again!! Also for the gate voltage u used a function generator to trigger itat 5khz to step up voltage ....but how can we do that same thing without a function generator.. is it possible to use a similar concept of zvs oscillator? I hope I am right? I am new to electronics ...thanks
This was a great video honestly. I have always struggled understanding electronics, it's like a mental block, but after this, I had a much easier time after watching it. I've been able to get by with what limited knowledge I did have, I can fix most things(that aren't made of a bunch of ICs), but this is something that can help when designing something, which is where I struggle most. BTW, It's great that you speak two languages. If you don't mind, a suggestion from my experiences with my 2 languages, as well as my girlfriend when she was learning hers. Exaggerate your pronunciation. It helps you over-come the way your mouth usually forms words and sounds in your native language and retrains it so that it's more flexible. Helps minimize the impact your accent has when practiced enough because it helps show your mouth how words are formed in different languages. Your English is actually really good, I just thought you might like a suggestion like this because you're obviously trying to reach English speakers on TH-cam, and it would help with that.
Thanks for your efforts ❤️, first time circuitry feel entertaining and somehow easy to understand for me, although I didn't get everything in this video because I don't have the basics of this science
great video. a quick and easy to conceive working knowledge of inductors. thank you, it corrected my incorrect concepts. i will give you a /sub for that!
In the last circuit showing how to generate a higher voltage than the source. You should also measure the source current vs the output current. I might just do it myself.
یکی از بهترین ویدیوهایی بود که. توی تمام این مدت ها دیدم ، پر از نکات آموزشی بود ممنون که اینقدر دقیق و علمی توضیح میدین و در کنارش هم به صورت عملی آزمایش میکنید خیلی خوب بود این ویدیو مثل بقیه کارهای شما استاد عزیز و کلی نکته خوب یاد گرفتم ، سپاس فراوان
I have been watching your videos and subscribed to your channel for more than 2 years now. Very awesome videos and you have improved in quality and content. Feedback: The only thing I would like to suggest you to help improve your channel is by using a higher qualty microphone or do something about the audio as your voice is sometimes too low and your voice becomes distorted (clipped) sometimes and difficult to hear your voice. Anyways love your videos keep making educational and great videos in the future. All the best!
This was excellent but I was not able to get it to work in a simulator. I wish you had posted the exact values of the components you used in the final example. Thanks for the video.
I take it back... I was able to get it to work! Originally, I had the simulator speed too slow to see it working correctly. Once I sped it up, it came to life. Thanks again!
Thanks for posting, very interesting. Ive tried building the circuit but I cannot see any resistors on the breadboard in the video, am I missing something?
voltage we are getting is 81volts at the output but what was the voltage of capacitor used? surely must be more than 81 volts right?. could plz also tell how why 10micro farad?
So. There are. Two different critters headed in opposite directions with opposite spins. Each with their own capability and a combined capability. In a circuit😊
Volume was great. THANX. Good inf on inductors. Magic component. Tricky to understand enough to apply. What was the duty cycle of the pulse train you injected into the base of the transistor?????
I loved the demonstration of the voltage boost with a mechanical switch. It is amazing. Regarding inductors, theres is one application I find really useful yet, for me, has been difficult to understand: using them to limit the current. How does that work?
It is an awesome idea for a video. I am giving a clue here and I will demonstrate it completely in a separate video. Inductors are used for current limitation but an inrush current, not a constant current. However The main principle is demonstrated in this video
@@elewizard I see! Does that mean that you can use it for current limitation/regulation of a PWM signal? Does that make any sense? Thanks for your reply and your educational videos!
you can use the inductor itself to trigger the transistort by adding a second winding, that uses the back emf to triger. Then you have a joulethief or re-emf. Dont't really understood the difference. Can use those to charge batteries. It's said to be able to charge dead batteries, because the high volt pulses somewhat help "shake" the batteries awake, it also should be able to charge the batterie "higher", like it will have the same voltage at the end, but it will have slightly more overall power, when doing a discharge test from full to empty. Maybe you could look into that and proof / debunk this? :D
Kind of, but one could also say that this is a DC-to-DC class of an SMPS. Since these implement the same concept as an AC SMPS (the switching part...). DC-DC converters are just as omnipresent in electronics as the AC-DC SMPS. I would rather compare this circuit to a DCDC boost (or "step-up") converter, but with a different placement of the inductor. The idea is the same though. A boost converter basically increases the voltage from the input to the output while decreasing current (conservation of energy...). You should look up boost converters if you're interested in power converters 😊. Boost converters, as well as buck converters, are used all over the place in electronics because of their relatively high efficiency compared to linear regulators. One of the downsides is the switching noise these switching converters generate. Especially if you're switching high power inputs.
SMPS convert AC into DC. All of the voltage input DC. Some SMPS will work from a DC input. It might not work if it has Syncronous rectifier or a PFC (Power factor Correction) on the AC side. AC SMPS AC to DC, DC to high frequency AC for voltage conversion, than rectification back to DC.
PC switching regulators use transformers, They have the ground center tap to create a negative voltage. Buck Boost (inductor) power circuits are rarely used as the are limited to how much power they can provide. The most common use for Buck converters is for voltage regulation (step down). Buck regulators are very common on modern motherboards to drop the voltage to the CPU voltage (usually 1.8VDC or less). They are placed very close to the CPU (Point of load) to avoid voltage drop losses in the traces. A big Server CPU might need up to a 100 AMPs at 1.2V (120Watts).
@@guytech7310No need for a server hardware these days, as even a Ryzen 7 5700X uses 120W under full load. Also the VRM’s can get a bit hot while pushing so many amps, which is precisely why they have a heatsink on nicer motherboards… So you can pair them with higher end CPUs. BTW, aren’t more modern PSUs also using step down converters for 5V and 3.3V, whilst the 12V is “straight out of the transforme? That’s how I imagine it works, but I have zero idea whether or not it’s the case.
@@satsumagt5284 PSU use switch mode power system H-Bridge & a multiwinding transformer for different voltages. If you look at a pin out of an ATX connector it will have outputs for 3.3V, 5V, 12V & -12V. They use a transformer for better efficiency to drop down the Rectified AC voltage ~170VDC for US 120VAC. There could be some buck converters use for the lower voltages depending on regulation & power requirements. For instance there make be a 12V transformer Output feeding a Buck regulator to drop the voltage to 3.3V/5V. The motherboard will have buck converters near the CPU to provide ~1.8V power rails. These are usually very close to the CPU to avoid power losses since a CPU can draw around a 100Amps @ 1.8V 180Watts. for a CPU using about 120W it will draw around 67Amps. There might also be some lower voltage rails need at 1.5V or even 1.2V.
the best way to think about flowing electrons is like flowing water. a capacitor stores pressure, while an inductor stores volume. and, just like with water, an inductor will resist changes in flow much like a large volume of water in a pipe resists changes in flow by means of its own weight through volume.
Is the resistor really determining the output voltage? It's a long time I am into building inverters, but I always hesitated to build a transformer-less one. Now this is really interesting! I would then need a roughly 14 Ohms resistor to get the 330 Vpp I need to generate 230V from 24V ... ? It's more complex than that, but interestingly it's not overly complicated to translate this to a procedure a microcontroller can solve. I have already tried something, but with a different design. A coil in series and 2 MOSFETS to do the switching. But I didn't like the losses.
@@elewizard That's no problem. With inverters, the input current easily reaches 120A at 24V, that part I have already solved a long time ago. But having a transformer-less inverter would be the next step I would like to reach, and now I have something to play with.
@@elewizard Is it true, that with a relatively small inductance and high frequency, I could transport more power? A small inductance saturates fast. Just reasoning... MOSFETS have a speed limit, but they can go up to 1 MHz. If I could build an inverter without transformer, I am more than happy to buy better transistors 🤗
Very interesting 👌 ... I try to use element NE-555 to generate the oscillations, but I can't receive the rectangular chart, but it is like a dirty noise on the oscilloscope screen 🤔🤔 .. what can be the problem ? Thanks for you always very interesting, inspirational videos ✌
I suspect your driving the inductor directly from the 555, You need a power transistor because a 555 Cannot source much current, the inductors circuit is drawing too much current from the 555 causing instability. You can use something like a 2N2222 NPN transistor (for a low power Buck boost circuit). if you want more power you need a power BJT or Mosfet. Mosfet will need a gate driver as the 555 isn't going to be able to provide enough power & probably voltage level to drive a Mosfet. better option is to buy a Buck Boost regulator from digikey, Mouser, Newark. Something like a MIC2172 Buck boost controller.
Youre not just human you're a beast! Press harder! Faster! Moar voltage!! Jk. Thanks for the useful circuit to check the power of the inductor, I don't have an LCR meter, but do have a cheap handheld scope I hear you can use to find the henries. But I guess you can just out it in a circuit and find out.
You can use signal generator, the self in serie with a resistor, so, the voltage repartition is like a voltage divider, the simple one like in dc and L*6.28*f in hz. Hard to explain in english but sure you find several methods on the web
You know what I find weird about transformers. The equation that determine the voltage field in the secondary is dependent on the changing flux and number of turns. While the flux density is dependent on the current. So if I put 10V, 1A and 60Hz in a 1:2 transformer the output will be 20V, 0.5A at 60Hz. If you double the input voltage only to 20V the output voltage changes proportionally. However, the variables in the equations that determine the secondary voltage did not change. So how did the new voltage get transfered to the secondary?
@@UnifiedInfoit's not nonsense. I'm not talking about the basic transformer equation. Look at Maxwell third equation. The rate of change of magnetic flux is the same for the 10v and 20V primary input. But the induced electromotive force in the secondary is different for both scenarios. How is that?
@@UnifiedInfoyes and how did this changed voltage got transferred into the secondary when the variable determining the voltage in the secondary is rate of change of magnetic flux. The rate of change of magnetic flux is the same in both scenarios because the rate of change of current is the same in both scenarios. I'm guessing the answer is in the fourth equation but the electric field is within the wire not outside the wire. So how did the secondary coil experience the change in voltage from 10 to 20 volts? Unless a wire carrying a current produces both an electric and magnetic field around it?
In a laptop the coil gives a buzzing sound only once during hibernation, and lasts for 1 second. It gives a signal to a satellite to start the maintanance of the laptop. In balanced mode, the laptop has to go trough some successful hibernations before this feature turns on. Some chips , eproms don't contain informations, they are downloaded from a satellite. One such is the battery balancing, allowing the cells to drain equally.
Have you ever seen the American show "Junkyard Wars"? I was thinking of getting a few YTer together for an episode of "Junk Board wars" I think it would be I nice series. What say you? Anyways. Lots of love across the waters.
I would love to see an actual lightbulb being attached to the output and see if it holds the power also... But you electronic buffs will probably say: that's not possible.

Should have been obvious, but now I understand the purpose of the resistor in the circuit and how to calibrate the output voltage. Thank you!

Mosfet will need a gate driver as the 555 isn't going to be able to provide enough power & probably voltage level to drive a Mosfet.
better option is to buy a Buck Boost regulator from digikey, Mouser, Newark. Something like a MIC2172 Buck boost controller.
Youre not just human you're a beast! Press harder! Faster! Moar voltage!! Jk. Thanks for the useful circuit to check the power of the inductor, I don't have an LCR meter, but do have a cheap handheld scope I hear you can use to find the henries. But I guess you can just out it in a circuit and find out.
You can use signal generator, the self in serie with a resistor, so, the voltage repartition is like a voltage divider, the simple one like in dc and L*6.28*f in hz. Hard to explain in english but sure you find several methods on the web
Can I use esp8266 to generate frequency? I don't have generator
Yeah, there will be no problem 👍
Please make how to reduce voltage from high to low
Principles are the same 👍
👍
👍👍👍
Relais, you must clear that loading with RC oder Diodes

You know what I find weird about transformers. The equation that determine the voltage field in the secondary is dependent on the changing flux and number of turns. While the flux density is dependent on the current. So if I put 10V, 1A and 60Hz in a 1:2 transformer the output will be 20V, 0.5A at 60Hz. If you double the input voltage only to 20V the output voltage changes proportionally. However, the variables in the equations that determine the secondary voltage did not change. So how did the new voltage get transfered to the secondary?
Input voltage is another variable. Made my head hurt trying to make sense of that nonsense
@@UnifiedInfoit's not nonsense. I'm not talking about the basic transformer equation. Look at Maxwell third equation. The rate of change of magnetic flux is the same for the 10v and 20V primary input. But the induced electromotive force in the secondary is different for both scenarios. How is that?
@@raloed.363 one variable changed it was voltage
@@UnifiedInfoyes and how did this changed voltage got transferred into the secondary when the variable determining the voltage in the secondary is rate of change of magnetic flux. The rate of change of magnetic flux is the same in both scenarios because the rate of change of current is the same in both scenarios. I'm guessing the answer is in the fourth equation but the electric field is within the wire not outside the wire. So how did the secondary coil experience the change in voltage from 10 to 20 volts? Unless a wire carrying a current produces both an electric and magnetic field around it?
Ooh! I wonder now if there is enough current to make a neon indicator bulb glow
I don't think so
Here we have a very low output current 🙃
In a laptop the coil gives a buzzing sound only once during hibernation, and lasts for 1 second. It gives a signal to a satellite to start the maintanance of the laptop. In balanced mode, the laptop has to go trough some successful hibernations before this feature turns on. Some chips , eproms don't contain informations, they are downloaded from a satellite. One such is the battery balancing, allowing the cells to drain equally.
This is quite easy to do with a modified relay switch entirely mechanical
Thank you for sharing 👍
How useful is that voltage once it's connected to a load though?!
Have you ever seen the American show "Junkyard Wars"? I was thinking of getting a few YTer together for an episode of "Junk Board wars" I think it would be I nice series. What say you? Anyways. Lots of love across the waters.
Won't it be 120 v at 1.2 amp
Waiting for that electrolytic to go boom with all the charge being dumped from the inductor. Or the [flyback] diode to break down.
It is a ceramic capacitor 🙃
@elewizard what I was looking at must have been the inductor.
@@elewizardceramic capacitors also contain trapped smoke.
I would love to see an actual lightbulb being attached to the output and see if it holds the power also... But you electronic buffs will probably say: that's not possible.
That is not possible 😁
why only 1kohm, can you place 10 times larger resistor and get 10 times larger output?
Otherwise great video, you got 1 more subscribe
It must be obvious to everyone else because I don't see anyone asking, why did you use a PNP and not an NPN transistor?
Because I have a dedicated video on this subject in the channel 😀
Better not turn off, on fast electric devices in junction connected wire extenders.
we need... THE RECTIFIER!!!!
EW: Now the output voltage is 81V
Me: Waiting to see him touch it with his finger 😅
It can't shock you 😁
Pls make volume high
Ok
