I kinda feel dumb for saying this, but i have learned more from GreatScott than in school. Keep up with the good work.

Very nicely done. You keep things simple without "dumbing-down" the subject.

I find these "basics" videos way beyond my electrical knowledge. Maybe they will be useful after some studying on a lower level.

Never stop making videos please....

You load lot of information, and virtually hands on experience in short videos. Keep on making videos. Eventually, I shall go through all of them.

Outstanding training video on Capacitors. Best I have ever seen! And certainly a lot clearer and more useful than the info I learned in EE class years ago. Very well done - and - thanks !!!

Scott, thanks a lot for putting time and effort into these videos!

Awesome video. I like digital stuff but really struggle with the analog parts when I try to build something. This video is a neat example how you can compress a few hours of research of basic stuff into something interesting and useful !

Excellent descriptions! Now I have to go back and see the rest of your vids to see what else I can learn!

Keep up these videos. Good info, quality production!

Been a Sub for a long time. And each video is always top notch. You might not be a diy King but you're definitely an electronics king. Top work GreatScott

I had never thought of tearing down an electrolyte capacitor, that was very interesting to watch!

well done mate ... your efforts to "tell it like it is" are excellent ... together with the practicals. ***** (five stars).

Excellent video as always, thorough and well explained.

Even though I'm learning in Electronics in my high school and I've gone through two years of it already, this will still come in use for me.

I'm studying electronics at university, it's quite interesting, but there are no practical works. This channel is a nice solution for that. I have learned a lot. Thanks! :)

That's what I needed someone to explain it in a basic way.

Awesome video. Better that most I've seen because of the real life examples on how to build one and capacitive reactance and so on. Keep up the good work. Cheers :)

All my TVs were free hand-me-down-burned-out-power-supply-capacitor situations which were fixed for $0.38 and half hour of my time. Thank you Dodgy Power Supply Manufacturers.

Another awesome Video. Really great,Please continue making such videos it helps a lot. Thanks for taking time and making such educative videos

Excellent demonstration.

This is just the type of explanation that I wanted. Thanks a ton. Truly Great 😁

Love your vids mate. Great work!

Years ago, my sisters 1 yr old TV just stopped working "for no good reason". Sure enough, a careful look noted a suspect capacitor "bulging" at the top (that is why they have that scored x in the metal, so that it doesnt become a projectile). Went to Radio Shack, spent a $1.50 on an equal value capacitor, soldered to PC board and bingo, worked. Longest part of job was tackling the 57 screws to get the panel off / on. Good info here, thank you!

Thanks for Scott I learned a alot with your video!

Keep doing what your doing I love what your do and I learn so much thank you.

You are actually better than my university teacher!

Really awesome. I'm a new sub and I learned a lot from this video .. Thanks

Thank you, great video, you covered a lot here!

Respekt, du machst echt super Videos. Ich schaue mir deine Videos schon länger an und muss dich echt loben. Du hast auch dafür gesorgt, dass ich ein riesiger Arduino-Fan bin.

Great job, Great Scott! :-) very very instructional.

Really good video, great work!

Fantastic video as always! Great job Sir. Cheers

That is the most badass intro ever

I feel like opening up my monitor and replacing the capacitors.

Awesome... I learn so much from you and Afrotechmods. Thank you for being epic :D

Excellent video! Thank you!

Great Video, GreatScott ^^

OMG! Another Great vid from Great Scott !!! Only 46 mins old!

U should make a video about that monitor fix! This was really helpfull, thanks!

great vid man. very helpful like me as a beginner

very great Scott!!!!!

you are a genius thanks. its for future generations

Awesome video! Keep up the good work :D

You got yourself a new subscriber :) awesome videos

great video, i wish i had your videos back in school :)

Thank you so much, well explained....

The phase shift part led me to review Impedance Triangle. Would be great if you'd do a video on that sometime.

wonder of Capacitor ! Nice tutor.

these videos are way more well filmes and understandable, last but not least more professional then many others on the same topic out there! Even if you sound a lil bit german XD

Awesome i learn so much from you ;)

I remember going down to my local scrapyard and picking up a load of old electronics from their "breaker" skip, there were TVs, Radios, Games consoles (Handheld and full system), even some PCs! Tested them all and most of them didn't turn on, checked the caps and realized the majority were blown, swapped them out and ended up with almost £3000 worth of working electronics for their scrap price! (About £60!)

very helpful video. thanks

Where were you when i was in physics 2!? Good video!

U r the best bro!!

Great video, as all of these "basics" videos from you are =) Really like them! I do like your other videos as well of course =) However, if you haven't planned for it, how about a video on Mosfets? I can't remember anything back from school about them, and I hardly have any knowledge of them so I thought maybe you could do another excellent video with that as subject? Would be cool! =) Keep up the great work!

3:47 That's the cutest explosion ever.

3:48 - a mushroom? xD That is a nice video! Keep doing videos like that!

Great stuff. One small correction on 2:09: The more capacitance and greater maximum voltage rating a capacitor gets, the more energy (not power, which is energy divided by time) it can deliver.

Love these videos. Can you make one about transistors?

left hand writing is superb

Great Video

great channel

Your videos r great

Thanks helped a lot :)

This is a good lecture on capacitors. Now, think about ground sign and why modern grounding is different from its original design =)

Great video..

Hey GreatScott!, I recently subbed because I'm a programmer who is interested in learning about the hardware end of things, and of all the electronic channels I've found, I really enjoy yours the most! I admire your knowledge on the subject, and want to learn as much as I can! I have yet to start any project with electronics, so I don't want to foolishly pick a project too difficult for me. If that happened, I think I'd become easily discouraged. To avoid this, I was hoping you could recommend simple projects that are good for learning the usage/applications of all of the components you've covered in your Electronic Basic series (resistors, inductors, capacitors, etc)! Thanks, and I look forward to seeing more, awesome videos!

This may be a vague question, but... Do you know what would be the average capacitance for a polarized capacitor, that can hold 20 kilovolts? Or if there is a method to finding the normal capacitance to keep something going for about 2 seconds?

Tnks I Learn From U All About Electronics

3:48 that made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂

great info :)

Instructive video of a good serial! For a project I need to provide a pulse of 95 mA for 100 milliseconds @ 12VDC to open/close a latching solenoid valve. I was thinking of a capacitor with a BJT as a switch controlling the base from an MCU. Could it work?

got a huge tv, broken of course from my father, took it apart, replaced 1 capacitor.. and now i have a huge tv!, a huge improvement from my b/w crt tv, i always tell this story, but this time i at least have the context of this video to go with it. never throw something in the trash without attempting to repair it!

U r awesome man !

Very impressive series of videos. Please keep it up. A valuable resource for instructors and students.

Thank u.i need more explanation

Would be a great addition to hear your thoughts on testing capacitors (without the expensive capacitor tester you have) both in and out of circuits. Such as with ohm meters (out of circuit) and I only just learned of ESR testers, which I think can test in circuit though I am still not sure how they work, can’t figure out how they isolate the cap from parallel components in circuit.

Hi Dear. I like ur way to guide people. can u tell us where to download pc software for electronics design.the software which we can design a circuit and test it on computer without physical testing.

Would you explain voltage ratings of capacitors too please.

Hi, Scott, it is a very nice capacitor introduction video. I like it. a question, how do you measure current with oscilloscope in another channel, i guess you measure the voltage on a resistor in series of the circuit, right?

What type of capacitor would you recommend to put in front of a thermal flasher on a car to make it blink faster

M&M, coca cola and GreatScott! what else can i ask for?

Would be cool if you showed more how you set up your circuits. You always just show some wires and stuff clamped together and then some oscillator, multimeter or supply output. How do you set up these examples, what sizes of the components are you using and why would really help.

whoa! Awesome!

amazing video, you should be a professor

great intro

Hey just wondering if you could do a video on led dot matrixs and make a vu meter with them using an Arduino

Your great I wish I saw your vid some years ago how do you know ALL THIS

hey love your videos but whats the name and brand and where do you get the test equipements at 2:35 thanks !

🙏💓nice teach sirji 💓🙏

For those who would like a tiny analogy: The absolute best analogy for capacitors and resistors is a mass-spring system. Voltage would be force, velocity is current, inductor is Mass, capacitor is a spring, and resistance is friction. instruct.math.lsa.umich.edu/lecturedemos/ma216/docs/3_4/spring.png Trust me the equations are Identical to a rlc circuit.

Since you talked about a monitor/tv... I was just wondering if you might know whats the cause of the following issue with my granddads philips lcd TV... When switching it on, the image is upside/down, mirrorred around and the colours are similar to photograph negatives... after a while, about 15 minutes or so, it flips and works great... Shut it down and power it right back up and the image is still fine, but let it cool down and its the same thing over again...

Hello “GreatScott!”. You have been added on YouListed under the categories : 1) Technology : DIY Computers and other Electronic Projects

What resistance should I use to discharge a 400V capacitor. I dont know why a camera battery charger would have such a big V capacitor.

best part 3:50

sehr schön

Can you make a car start only with a bunch of capacitors? if it can be done, then can you replace the battery with this capacitor setup and use regularly? pls explain.

I have a question, so if u solder multiple capacitors of the same capacitance like about ten, would the output increase in voltage or stay the same

Can you make a capacitor circuit for producing spark(works as lighter)
