    This is a highly simplified description of how electricity works. For anyone curious about a more thorough explanation, I recommend this video by Veritasium: czcams.com/video/oI_X2cMHNe0/video.html

      Great to see you are still active I wasn't able to understand but after your video I understand what's going on

    At LAST!!! An explanation without any confusion, or "jumps" to a next item without establishing clearly the last concept. THANK YOU Afrotechmods!

    Finally a clear but not oversimplified explanation in that matter.

    "Very handy for when you don't wanna die in a terrible fire" cracked me up. Great presentation!

  • @rakatumu
    @rakatumu Před 2 lety +13

    So good. the ease with which you've explained difficult concepts to complete beginners is an indication of the mastery you have on this subject. Like an elite footballer controlling the ball and making it look easy, or a master martial artist taking down an agressor with a couple of 'simple' moves in a few seconds.

    please add more basics videos. :) thank you. I really enjoy how you explain

  • @MrVecheater
    @MrVecheater Před 3 lety +2

    This is the electronics introduction I've always been waiting for
    I finally understand what electricity actually is and have an idea why it works
    My only criticism is that you talk a bit fast. I needed to pause the video a lot. But I like how you explained everything just enough for me to understand what you're talking about

  • @8yerbrain
    @8yerbrain Před 12 lety

    It's the subtle use of humor that sets your videos apart, and makes them not just very informative, but fun to watch too. Your hard work is appreciated! :)

  • @jedizero2
    @jedizero2 Před 7 lety +1

    I've been teaching myself electronics for the last month or so and I just wanted to say thank you. Out of all the resources I've found so far you make it easy to understand. Liked and subbed!

    @KirkHMiller Před 3 lety +3

    Very helpful series! (I should have watched them all in order, but here I am at the beginning! haha) Fun fact: in Portuguese and Spanish a switch is called an interruptor- makes sense because it interrupts the flow of electrons!

  • @175726
    @175726 Před 12 lety

    @flurng Very Interesting response, you actually made me understand the whole shell and valence thing and how the remaining electrons preserve the physical structure in one pharagraph when i've read and read and read and could not fit it into my head, thanks. You should start doing videos too. What I love about Afro Tech, is that he somehow knows how much to leave out, to make a complicated subject easy to understand, he seems to do this unlike anyone I know. KUDOS TO BOTH OF YOU...
