    I feel that if mechanical engineers understood electricity in mechanical terms (in the way your videos demonstrate) they could create some very interesting circuits. This is an example of that. It is basically a magnification mechanism in electric form.

    What wonderful video! It's non easy to understand how a voltage doubler really works, because there are many factors acting together (alternate current, capacitor charging and discharging and so on). Therefore it's difficult to understand what it's really happening , just figuring it out by mind. A beatiful demonstration of an image which is worth a 1000 words.

    We learned the basics, and then applied them to stuff like this, break it down to the simplest first. DC series, parallel, RC time constant, ohms law, voltage drops, kirchoffs laws..etc, then AC, power factor, transformers, impedance, capacitors and inductors in series parallel and how frequency affects each circuit, digital logic, semiconductors, fets, diodes, transistors, op amps. throw in some thevinins, and other fun stuff. I took the electronics course, with some AC power distribution basics, and computers added on. They made it very basic at first then built on it.

    can you specify the specs of both diodes and capacitors (and how many of them) to generate lets say over 800 kV DC output from a 220 V AC or lower. can such device made at home? if yes, how much does it cost ($)? and is there cheaper alternative to generate over 800 kV DC (don't mind how low the current is, as it required for generating static filed for an experiment)?

    @dougfoster445 Před 10 měsíci

    I finally understand it. Thank u! Boy electricity is not something u learn over night that’s for sure. 4 years into the industry now and just now starting to understand the harder stuff for me. Like why a resistive dimmer is bad for a ac fan. Like am I right in this: (only ask cause I think I put it together tonight and wanna make sure I’m right) The reason that dimmers are bad for fans is this; dimmers lower power by increasing the resistance of a circuit. This increase in resistance lowers the current which lowers the magnetic field in the coil: The coil is essentially a short circuit without impedance. And so without something impeding the current it will go up to infinity. Well what normally prevents this in a circuit is the amount of current that creates a certain amount of impedance by inductive reactance. So if a fan is designed to work at 120v, it relies on that voltage to produce a certain amount of current with the given inductance of the coil. If that voltage were to decrease, the current and ultimately the inductive reactance would decrease, paradoxically increasing the current. This increase in current would probably burn the coil of the fan ultimately breaking it. And this is why a dimmer is bad for a fan!
