Hello Dave. I spent close to five years in university getting a degree in mechanical engineering. I can say that you would have been the type of professor that we would have wanted. Clear, concise explanations with examples and no use of jargon that we wouldn't have known at that level of instruction. I had several profs who taught like you do and we learned so much more about the topic than we did from the poor ones. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Ken
Dave, not only are you an excellent Teacher, but a great Communicator as well. The way the magnetic field pulled that rebar core out of your hand, startled me a bit !! 😂😂😂
Amazing lesson Mr Gordon. I wish you would make longer videos. Your style of teaching and content has earned a subscriber. Looking forward to all your future content. Your a treasure!!
I just recently found your channel and really enjoy the way you teach. However I was bummed to see your last video was from 6 months ago. So when I saw this video pop up today I was very excited to see that your teaching continues! Thank You!
Great video. I love the way that you take difficult concepts out of the books and present them in an easier to understand format. I have gaps in my engineering education that you are filling in. I greatly appreciate your effort and willingness to share your knowledge to help people understand.
This is a great visual explanation I remember learning these theories as an apprentice 40 years ago but at some point I just accepted what I did not quite understand as fact. But your visual explanation are me understand it with my eyes.
Hey Dave, I would love if you could continue this (and the other videos)! Even though they are short, your explanation is very insightful and I'm learning a lot from it!
Well explained and demonstrated. Great effort. Keep on making such practical educational videos. Thanks a lot. Dr. Omar El-Ghezawi , the University of Jordan, Jordan.
Thanks for the complement, and for mentioning your country. I was privileged to visit Jordan when I was 10 years old. I was especially fascinated with Petra so I feel very fortunate that when my son turned 10 years old I was able to take him there to see several of the places I remember so well - Petra, Wadi Rum, Madeba, Mt. Nebo, and the Dead Sea. We also spent a little time in Amman where he played soccer/football with some local boys on the street and enjoyed Jordanian hospitality and, of course, some good food as well.
@@davegordon6819 In which case, Assalamu Alaikum and Marhaba, It’s good to know you had a memorable time in Jordan just as it’s a joy watching your videos on electrical engineering. Keep on and thank you once more. Omar
Hi, quality content. I find there is a real lack of this type of content on CZcams & often find topics returning back to electronics. Subscribed and hit the Bell icon, looking forward to the next videos. I wonder if you could do a video relating to EU & UK voltages & how the UK is often supplying 240V still when most kit is recommended to run at 230 along with the effects this has in energy bills, along with how energy consumption differs depending on the type of loads (resistive/inductive/capacitive).
Thanks for showing this video... I have looked for this topic for a long time... it would seem longer than it should have been😅. Also thanks for showing what happens in the next video... I guess I can skip that one 😂😂😂. Jk subscribed 👍
Michael Faraday was a genius. I still don't understand magnetic field and I don't think most lectures that thought me understood it either, It's beyond unatural, no wonder Einstein considered him one of the greatest.
Great video and explanation. I’ve learned a lot from you, and thanks to some of the videos; they aided me in passing my journeyman test. I am curious, if you can possibly upload some videos about motors, and explain some examples of sizing and finding ratings with various labelings and then referencing the ratings to an electrical system, such as the wiring, voltage, breaker, disconnects, overload, contactors, starters, fuses, and any other equipment.
Hi Dave! These video's are great! Quick Question, Have you done a video on Power FActor?!?! I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that one! Thanks! Mike K
Hi Dave... Your videos have helped me recover a lot of information I had lost during tradeschool... Since I'm given just the basics, a lot just slips off when it's not reinforced in practice. I was wondering if you could take suggestions on content. I wanted to have a detailed explanation as to why you can't use DC breakers on AC and viceversa. I have the idea of DC arching inside AC breakers but all explanations tend to be short or extremely complicated, at least for me. I also wanted to know how you size conductors on DC and overcurrent devices.
Thanks very much. I have plans for more videos as time allows. I'm not sure if I'll work on a DC Theory series or Overcurrent Protection series first...
Thanks. You call one end of the coil (or stretched out coil) hot and the other end neutral. Is that a matter of semantics or is there something unique about the two ends? Is it that the neutral end is simply grounded? Is the hot end considered to be at 120 V and the neutral end considered to be at 0 V? What if you put a ground at both ends (or multiple places along the wire)? What if it wasn’t grounded (floating neutral), then would the principles you explained be the same? Any other insights to help me understand? Thanks so much!
Hello Dave. I noticed that in some of your videos your reference a school, and I assuming the video is part of that lesson. I've looked online but I can't find the school or class that is for the video. I would love to take a class that is taught by you. Please reach out to me and let me know if this is possible. Thank you, and keep up the great videos. My 10 year old son and I love watching them together.
Thanks for your interest and support. I work in the IBEW/NECA apprentice system, and our classes are attended by our registered apprentices. Apprentices work full-time for our signatory contractors and attend classes either one day a week or a couple evenings each week. If your son is interested in the electrical world and likes to build things, an IBEW/NECA sponsored electrical apprenticeship is a good way to enter a meaningful and rewarding career. I'm sure you're aware of this, but one of my strongest recommendations to young people interested in an electrical career is to take math seriously in high school - a working knowledge of Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry are essential to understanding electrical concepts. I started putting some videos online to help our students when we had reduced in-class time at the beginning of Covid...
Thanks for your question and your engagement with the material. It's not part of a course, per se, but I do intend to get some intro to electricity and other videos up as time permits. I started with courses I was teaching a couple years ago to help my students better understand electrical concepts, AC circuits, and calculations as our in-class hours at the time were reduced due to Covid. My hope is to expand playlists to cover more electrical concepts.
@2:15 My brain knows that you can do this, its just an air core inductor, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me wince when you plugged that reel of wire in to 120V; Theory colliding with knowledge I guess. Thank you.
Yes, you do explain well, but your demeanor is that you are talking down to preschool children. I keep waiting for you to say "today boys and girls" or for you to look into the camera and say "I see Billy and Susan, and Tommy, etc...

Dave, you got to post 2-3 videos every week sir, your power of making the concepts easy is incredible.
I wish I had started watching these videos in my 20s. It'd have helped my career and bank account.
Instantly subscribed. The structure and presentation is beyond perfection, how lucky are everyone to have found you.
Dave, not only are you an excellent Teacher, but a great Communicator as well.
The way the magnetic field pulled that rebar core out of your hand, startled me a bit !! 😂😂😂
again....just thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in a way most instructors should strive for.
Very illuminating demonstration of Inductance
As always, you're so great at explaining these concepts in such a clear manner. Thanks!
You have some really good and helpful videos. Thank you for your time and effort. Keep it up.
I wish your channel would get more attention. The information you put out are always great quality. I love the way you explain things.
Your videos are all excellent. Please keep up the good work.
I was expecting this series on transformers. Outstanding explanation.
Great video. Excellent delivery by the instructor. Held my attention.
Another excellent video...thanks & welcome back!!

Thank you sir. Looking forward to your upcoming videos
Thank you. Very clean illustration and explanation. 🙏
Absolutely fantastic explanation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and please please continue
Can hardly wait for the entire series!!
Great video. I love the way that you take difficult concepts out of the books and present them in an easier to understand format. I have gaps in my engineering education that you are filling in.
I greatly appreciate your effort and willingness to share your knowledge to help people understand.
Gosh, the last scene shocked me!
This is a great visual explanation
I remember learning these theories as an apprentice 40 years ago but at some point I just accepted what I did not quite understand as fact.
But your visual explanation are me understand it with my eyes.
I have another buck transformer to install tomorrow. Was planning on going over one of your videos in a bit. Glad to see you working on new content.
You're back! Excellent 🙂
Hey Dave, I would love if you could continue this (and the other videos)! Even though they are short, your explanation is very insightful and I'm learning a lot from it!
Practical demonstration like this helps to understand things Clearly. Great work sir❤.
What an amazing teacher!
Great videos mate.
Congrats on 25k subscribers!
Thanks my friend. I appreciate the encouragement.
looking forward to your next video sir
Well explained and demonstrated. Great effort. Keep on making such practical educational videos. Thanks a lot.

Just to verify - when you create the coil - one end of the coil goes to the 120V and the other end goes to the neutral, correct?
Great video and explanation. I’ve learned a lot from you, and thanks to some of the videos; they aided me in passing my journeyman test.

Thanks for your kind words. Time is my main constraint, but I do have plans for more content... Thanks for the requests.

u rock bro
How did he stop the breaker from tripping when he plugged both ends in?
there a coil impedance wich is much much higher then the cable resistance wixh explain why there is few amps in that cable

" I gotta unplug it quickly cause my circuit isn't really rated for that" 😂
Dave, is this part of a complete course, and if so where can I find it?
Thanks for your question and your engagement with the material. It's not part of a course, per se, but I do intend to get some intro to electricity and other videos up as time permits.
