    I am a physics teacher at school, surfing youtube for educational content more than 10 years now /// a quick tip for you, most popular topics among electrical and electronics engineers (beginners enthusiasts) is still SMPS (switch mode power supply) Electronic components, circuit designs, Transistors (IGBT MOSFET BJT etc.) Power Inverters, Automotion PLCs etc. / soo you can gain far bigger viewer base mostly on these topics. ( I didn`t mention audio/sound system cuz you have already done a masterpiece video about audio)

      I was tempted to write some background music for this vid! The end of the speaker video is my music :). But this particular track is from the TH-cam repository they let creators access for free. Making these videos is super intense so I often wish I had extra bandwidth to write the soundtrack too.

    • @animagraffs
      @animagraffs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I feel the same way. There's certainly good reason to understand formulas and written concepts that power these inventions. And heck, fancy graphics software didn't exist before. That said, I'd have cared a whole lot more about things if they seemed more real and tangible. So now I try to do just that -- show complex forces as real and "3D" as I can so it's not boring or too mysterious or hard to grasp.
      It's like math and physics were just difficult homework puzzles growing up, where now I see how it actually relates to me in the real world. And it's a lot more exciting to me this way, and lots of others, I suspect.

    Excellent video as always. I'm not sure if this comment will still be relevant, but my only feedback on the video would be to consider doing away with subtitles (like "Passivation Layer") in the script itself. It might make sense to organize the script or the video with subtitles, but it's unnatural in the audio. Instead, continue the flow of dialogue; such as "Below that, you have the passivation layer, which..." "Below the passivation layer is an aluminum..."

    This is some really high quality stuff here. Just amazing.
    I really hope that you will do a deep video about how electricity really works. It sounds simple, whole my life i was thinking that its like water pipes. Energy flows from the plus to minus side of the battery... o i was so wrong, all my life was a lie. So lately i got shicked like 5 times a day and it really got me into electricity... i got shocked because of my jacket prolly as it stole my precious electrons from me and my kind water sink gave them back to me. However i cant get my mind over electricity.
    I stumbled on that Veritasium video where he provokes million questions. When he asks how fast will the light bulb go on if wires go to the moon and back. He made some serious claims like: electricity is not moving inside the cable but outside the cable. Some experts seem to agree with him, yet not in everything. I mean its a great video he did good by rizing questions but now world needs some good answers.
    While there are tons of videos about this they are no where near to quality of your videos. Thats why im asking here. You have so much detail and this is where many experts fail. They seem to leave out the obvious stuff and make things easier to understand but those little obvious things to them can leave other people clueless. Not clueless but it creates a situation where people know something but they dont really understand it.
    Those experts actually created more confusion in me than i got answers tbh.
    Like, this veriatasium video is actually right because wire in his video works like an antenna, so you could aswell cut the cables at the ends and light would still turn on instantly not after electricity travling to the moon and back. However its not true for sure. Not in normal conditions. I mean if id did this at home there is 100% that light wont turn on at all. I would need like very special setup to do this and it would be very dangerous i believe.
    But most interesting thing was that, when they explained that electricity goes to the moon and back in about 3 seconds. So light would turn on in 3 seconds in normal conditions. However he also added that electrons are not actually to the moon and back at this speed. Electrons move way slower than that.
    Why im writing so long letter here is that, there is actaully a lot going on when we talk about electricity. Yet, there are so many people like me in the world who actually compare it to water pipes with a pump. I mean it sounds all so simple while im not even sure if u could make one video to explain all this in high detail but if u could it would turn on many lamps in the world i believe.
    All the best for u!

    "The spent electrons return to the cell ready to absorb more photons" This is just an bad verbiage and seems to confuse others commentors. An electron isn't "spent", needing to return for more photons like a hungry man needing food to get more work done. Just leaving it as a difference in voltage/ generated electric field with a wire (fan in your case) connecting the two sides is fine and won't confuse as much.

    • @animagraffs
      @animagraffs  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Terms/vocabulary around electricity and understanding how electricity works in general are almost completely unknown to a general audience. We often see the "water in a hose" metaphor but even that breaks down pretty quickly when you dig further into what's happening inside a wire conducting electricity. How I've described things is the least confusing way for my audience and their knowledge level.
      From time to time I do get commenters like you who are certain I could do a better job with simplifying what are near infinitely complex subjects, and I understand why. It's a tough job and I can only hope to get better at it with each project.

    • @tomis181
      @tomis181 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@animagraffs I like the animation, and after this first part of the video everything is fine. The idea of "spent" electrons is in fact over simplifying and leads to misconceptions. (for instance this comment: If we have to put back the same amount of electrons that we pump out then how does it make power) The Lesics channel has a similar level video on solar cells without introducing this idea. I understand not telling the full story for simplicity. Like teaching the mathematics of gravity in levels of understanding from algebra up to tensors. I've also had to correct published research papers which have over simplified the phase transitions of pervoskites as similar to that of water from liquid to solid/ice.
