I don't often comment on videos and I'm not one to "subscribe" but had to do both on this one because it's obvious to me that you love to teach and both your visual aids and the order of revelation of your simple explanations are, IMHO, impeccable. VERY WELL DONE, good Sir!

WAW!! It was the most beautiful coincidence when I met your channel.❤

Yours is one of the best electronics tutorial channels on UKposts. Thanks, subbed.

A fantastic video for the hobbyists, and a great refresher for the professionals. Easy to follow, concise and very well executed. Thanks for sharing this and spending your valuable time creating this content 👍

Very helpful! I sure hope my diodes won't mind being in my circuits now! ✨😃

good presentation. minor nuance though: at about 6:00 in the example of reverse circuit protection you referred to using a schottky diode but the symbol you used was that of zener ;-)

Your efforts sharing this valuable info are greatly appreciated. ❤

Excellent presentation of diode capabilities and common usage.

Man, glad you are back. Have seen your different videos about electronics (open collector, microcontrollers). Hope you'll add back them all. Subscribed already

I have so many questions about the magic of circuits and you answer a few. Thank you.

A full wave rectumfryer never gets old as an electronics joke. lol

I have subscribed immediately! Let’s wait for the next insightful videos. Bless you.

Subscriber number 26 here! Just found your channel. Great content - thank you for taking the time to make this video.

This fellow is a legend, detailed explanation, and friendly teaching. Well done

Nice video. It's interesting to connect a piezoelectric sounder to the output of the infrared receiver. You can hear the pulses and hear differences between different brands of remote!

You have a great channel, I have learnt a lot watching you. Thanks for sharing.

very clear explanation, it is good to collect knowledge in one lesson, well done

I appreciated the style of teaching, subscribed! Greetings from Italy

This channel is great, I'm consuming each video at an alarming rate.. please keep it up, your examples and explanation is superb.

you are a great teacher. thank you for shearing this knowledge.

Very good and informative video! Thank You!

your content is amazing, you are my new teacher. thanks

Excellent explanation..! I appreciate your hard work..!

Mr. He said, You got him.

Well done, nice video,thanks for sharing it with us :)

This is EXCELLENT!!!

Thank you so much for excellent presentation and informative videos. I have already subscribed.

Glad your back!

Another application is to use the reverse-bias junction capacitance for adjusting the frequency of a tuned circuit - varying the reverse voltage varies the capacitance, which can then change the frequency of an oscillator. Varactor diodes are specialized for this purpose, but the effect can be demonstrated with pretty much any reverse-biased diode.

A lot of information here` explained very well.

Good presentation sir. Keep it up.

Your explanation is amazing. Please make more videos on understanding electronic circuits and with emphasis on what each component does in the circuit.

Hello, great video, thank you. Good to see you back, I was sad to see you disappeared from youtube! Where are the older vids?

Great video friend!! Did you used to have a different channel? I remember watching a video from you about capacitor applications that was extremely informative amd helpful. But the video is no longer available says UKposts.

Knowledgeable video.

Outstanding channel, thanks for taking time to share information.

Excellent. Many thanks.

excellent explanation

Great video. Thank you very much!

Thanks for sharing subscribed

Very very good video. Thanks

Thank you very much for all the knowledges..appreciate it!

6:02 good explained

another fantastic video, I've been making notes.cheers!

I really enjoyed this video and have now subscribed. One question though - Re the induction motors, why do you usually see a capacitor across the terminals and not a diode? Or do they serve different purposes?

عالی بود استاد

Respect for you. Your channel helps me to learn about electronics. You have a new subscriber.

At 7.42, you mentioned a video on charging a backup battery setup, and I am most keen to see that, but I can't find it on UKposts . Can you direct me to that one please? Great videos btw.

Wonderful tutorial! As you rightly mentioned that zener diode can be used to protect the circuit from over over-voltage, can it protect an ac voltage? Can it take care of under-voltage?

nice video,, can you make a video about replacing diode on solar panel?

Thank you again for such a broad explanation and clarity❤

Thanks!

Best video man ❤❤❤❤

4 things on my mind to add: 1) LEDs can drop up to 2-4V, depending on its colours! The bigger the band gap, the "colder" the colour and bigger voltage drop! 2) I never heard of flywheeling diode, do you mean flyback or freewheeling? :D 3) I'm missing the explanation of the flyback diode - it's dropping that peak voltage because it allows the coil to "decharge" through itself (to absorb the inductive current kickback), making a nice peak current "circle" flow between the diode and the coil, instead of your circuitry. 4) I'm surprised you didn't mention opto-isolators alongside with LED transmission devices, those are my favorite type of power protection devices!

Man, thank you for this great vídeo with all the basics 👌 We (except the haters) all greatly appreciate your time and effort!

I am learning , that's good.

🌺🌹 Excellent 🌺🌹🌺

I did not know S and Z rule and have worked in electronics for many years, thanks

Thanks

Good evening sir... Very nice video.... What happened with your other channel... I really missed u and your video... Lot of ❤ from odisha, India

Hi and thx for your effort. I wish someone would make a video on how to find/calculate value etc for real life situations for us ignorant enthusiasts. Let me explain. I am using lots of buck converters - boosters and lithium solar chargers. I use bear modules for cost and flexubility. In their instructions are mentioning not to reverse polarity and put a diode etc. How do I find which diode? how do I calculate values? I have clamp meter and accurate multimeter. No more fancy bench instruments. I do not want to become an electrinics engineer just solve everyday little problems in laymans terms. Any help or direction much welcomed. TNX

I love it ❤

Thank you

So I can use a ZENER diode to block current in a circuit when the voltage is below the zener diode voltage?

Sir i have being following your channel, but i can't find Your old channel anymore what's wrong with it, i do love your videos

How do you read the code printed on zener diode should you not be able to get the data sheet for the diode? Would appreciate it for the assistance as I feel that all my research to my question is leading to no answer and thus I hope that you will be able to assist me. You're explaining on components and examples are the best that i have seen and even advise my colleagues to watch and subscribe to your channel.

Neetest work Shop

nice channel!

Sir, I am from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. I recently search your channel but could not find. Today Got you❤️

I like your video, i like the circuit to charge battery

what happened to the old channel? I saw all your videos long time ago but here it looks reuploaded! is this a new channel? any way I subscribed and waiting for you to Explain more electronics and more concepts good job my friend

There is another way to reverse polarity protect with a diode, that's by placing a regular diode in reverse bias across the power input so long as your power source is fused. Connecting the power backwards would pop the fuse before the diode burned.

radja + lep, just saying, can you do the driver?

Sir, I got your feedback on the question that I raised. I commend you for it. You used 1N4148 as a flyback diode in an indictive circuit instead of a power diode such as 1N4007, Why? I think that 1N4148 is a signal diode and used in a circuit that requires high switching speeds. Please, refer me to your videos on Operational Amplifier and how one can use it to compare AC voltages. Thanks.

I would prefer you show me how to build 8 useful devices with diodes.

Make similar video for coil inductor

I have a basic question I was hoping you could answer. Normally, a resistor is used along with the diode to limit current. However, when used as a rectifying diode bridge, I normally do not see any resistors being used to limit the current. So my question is, in that case, what limits the current? Is it only because they are high current diodes and therefore don't require any external current limiting? Thanks!

Greattt😅

Is this your new channel. What happened to your older videos

Solar cell is a diode. If you put power into solar cell it will emit deep red light visible in camera. Diode can be used to protect relay contracts from REMF from a heavy DC inductive load when contracts open. The diode absorbs the energy that produces momentary arc in relay contracts.

I believe, that these components have a complete computer inside, especially the SMD types. To control the computer, first it must be installed into a device. When you experiment with charging, your diode become removed from its default blacklist, and starts its normal operation, for example removing the memory effect from batteries. Same with SMD resistors, but when you destroy one, there is no computer circuit inside. So the component is on blacklist due to radiation, and the component’s memory effect status causes its default regional blacklist.

Thanks for the video. Can you please in the future remove the "bleep" sound? Hurts my head.

Anyone know what would be oscilloscope banditech/samples if I would like to see and keep testing (able to see what what is happening) these at home with these diodes (and possibly some NAND /transistors) ? On this video looks like it is 100Mhz Oscilloscope, that would be pricy for just learning and small tests. Thank you

Mr. Exist applications to switch his lasers, maybes calls Spectogram or Spectrum, something with Hz, I almost put him down long times ago. He want to kill himself, gives for us that he want to stop. Thank You.

You can also use silicon diodes als switches for low voltage ac signals. As long as the ac signal is lower than the forward voltage the signal is blocked. When you now add a dc voltage to the ac signal, which is higher than the forward voltage, the ac voltage will appear behind the diode on top of the dc voltage. Using 2 capacitors before and after the diode you can switch the ac signal on and off. You can also use a full wave recitifier to switch between a current sink to ground and a current source from the positive supply voltage a point in your circuit whos voltage is between positive supply voltage and ground. you just need to connect one of the ac inputs to your circuit point and the other between ground or positive supply voltage. The current source and sink are connected to the dc outputs of the rectifier. In this way you can make a 555 astable multivibrator whos output switches the current source and sink to the capacitor point which gives a precise linear voltage ramp, which can control other circuits (for instance a vc oscillator or a vc PWM generator).

we used to get potable 12" tvs from the tip and change the diode then sell them i was only 10 made a fortune in the 70s from caravaners that had put the leads wrong way around

The only component I think of as “simple” is the wire. And even that requires a bit of thinking when the gauge becomes crucial in the application. 😢

I create a node on common positive side, using diode to merge them using a full bridge diode, in my country Indonesia its actually cheaper to buy high amps diode by using full bridge rectifier 😂

a diode is the best invention ever, Even betterthan the light bulb. (even though they were origionaly a light bulb)

Many cameras have a IR Filter so the Light of a Remote can't pass the lens

I'm new to this. I'm an electriian. But I have a question

If you series diodes, you can create a time delay

Put the yappy dog in another room lol 👍

hehe hmm, I think the zener diode might have saved my arduino from literally smoking the other night =D

3:32 that's a bridge rectifier

a diode can also be used to make an AM radio

Very strange things happens at time 3:38-3:39 . Suddenly the circuit transformed to something quite different that it was a moment ago, but there was a perfect oscillogram. I have an idea what difficulties author experienced . Likely it was the ground which is common for both channels. It is very sad that the author didn't clearly show how he resolved that.

That's a big chunky diode

I turnoff after 10sec because of all the hand movements😂
