MAKE presents: The Inductor

14 років тому

The deceptively simple wire coil that proves incredibly useful in the world of electronics - the inductor's ability to store energy in an electromagnetic field is the key to making transformers, electromagnets, and many more components. It truly is an awesome device!

Here we are, nearly 6 YEARS after this was posted and it's still as good if not better than many of the other informational/instructional videos out there.

@EmillioMelendez 8 років тому

I can make a loud horn with an electromagnet a capacitor and a diode and a tiny needle it works by the capacitor at the wires and a diode going to the electromagnet. The needle is taped or screwed in place when power is applied the electromagnet try's to pull the metal needle and the screw pushes it back down and it repeats it super fast on the sound plate and it makes an Anh Anh sound

+RenaissanceMan929 You'd be surprised at how good instructional videos of the 50s are. For example, learning how a differential works.

@pinklady7184 6 років тому

RenaissanceMan929 is this guy alive and kicking today? I hope he makes more.

@pinklady7184 6 років тому

mohamulator I too love old film documentaries on science. I watch those on mechanism, electronics, chemistry, etc.

@bigmikeh5827 5 років тому

As an instructor of industrial electricity, I appreciate your presentation. Clear, lay terms and easy to follow. You paint a clear picture that anyone of my students can understand. Thanks for the videos.

@jeffsnow7749 7 років тому

Excellent video! The teacher assumes that the viewer doesn't already know the information. Ideas are presented in a straight, relaxed, and down to earth fashion. An effective presentation!

@OleVinny 8 років тому

Brilliant! The oscilloscope visuals finally made me grasp why audio equalisers using inductors attenuate high frequencies!

@bun72642 2 роки тому

This video was made 13 years ago and yet one of the best one I found on inductor. it's always the old videos : )

@devinmccloud 13 років тому

All I can say is, I love the hidden humor, history and simple explanations. Best learning experience yet. keep up the great videos.

@fieldho 11 років тому

Thanks, although I've studied electronic technology, as a hobby, for some 30 years, I really appreciate the work devoted to explaining the basics in these videos. The older I get, I find that my memory sometimes has a tendency to color the facts and it's handy to have simple explanations, like these videos, to see through the fog of age. I wish these were around when I was younger. I'm glad younger students can cultivate their electronic interest through such a obtainable media.

@joelcampos3073 4 роки тому

Man, what a simple explanation/demonstration?! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!

@gregleonard1562 9 років тому

love the hypermobile self inducted facial movements.....good job cc

@henrikfrisk4948 7 років тому

Fantastic explanation. Found your videos a couple of weeks ago. You are a really, really good teacher!

@labratmatt7327 7 років тому

this is the best explanation of Inductance that I have found so far. Now I understand why transformers occasionally threaten the city

@QuantumMind88 7 років тому

I thoroughly enjoy your videos and think you do an excellent explaining things in a practical way that is easy to understand! I look forward to thatching more of your videos on basic electronics and their functions. Thank you very much!!

@fredflinstone1093 10 років тому

These videos are some of the best best tutorials I ever seen. Excellent! Thanks for posting them

@atomicpineapples 10 років тому

Teacher: Since when did you become an expert in electromagnetics? Me: Last night. LOL

@PallidDragoon 14 років тому

Awesome, I would love to see more in a series similar. You did a great job of explaining it.

@freshconnekt 7 років тому

Dude, I must say you are awesome... love the lil oscillator...Keep up the good work!!..

@pinarellolimoncello 7 років тому

Thank you for your brilliant, its the first bit of electronics I've ever started to comprehend , I will be subscribing and following a lot more of the videos. Far too many youtube videos have awful back ground music and narration that is far too fast to keep up with late knowledge gaps or jumps, so thanks again for making it easier to follow.

@Vandwo 11 років тому

Colin is just extremely good in explanations. Loved his tutorials and funny explanations. Of course his humor is always on good level! :)

@HowardAlison 4 роки тому

Thanks Colin your videos are really clear and interesting. I'm learning about a new world.

@prashanthb6521 9 років тому

Awesome demonstration. Helped me a lot thank you.

@andrewrobotbuilder 13 років тому

Wow Colin, your explanaition of electronics is not only more detailed than my physics lessons, but also more fun!

@niveshsimon699 8 років тому

a very good video to start learning electronics. very useful info and nice drawing and colouring of that transformer

@ValsGym 10 років тому

Great videos, your calm approach to teach is super relaxing and enjoyable, and best of all, easy to understand.. Keep it up please

@glmphoto 7 років тому

just perfect.. thanks Collin

@ralphvickers2339 3 роки тому

back in mid 70s at my junior high school, I met a guy named Scott who presented me a cigar box and encouraged me to push the button....an eerie long whine emanated out of the box to my delight...and Scott lifted the lid to reveal a circuit that he had built himself to maker the noise....we became great friends at that point

@n2gpin 14 років тому

Good stuff, very well explained - with one exception... if the current flow is instantaneously interrupted and the field collapses, it causes current to flow in the reverse direction as when the inductor was charged....known as counter emf. I don't know if that detail was left out for ease of understanding, but I couldn't let it go - Thanks for posting these videos, they're very good at getting the concept of how these components work across in an easy to digest manner.

@pippen5340 Рік тому

Thanks for all these informative videos

@mossyhorn2147 9 років тому

Maybe sometime you should do a really small project like designing a led circuit with us and showing how to put it together

@unknownmonstrosity7427 7 місяців тому

@ibassplayer205 14 років тому

I love these videos! Its been a while since you guys have had a MAKE Presents... These are great! 5 stars

@jamesashons9227 7 років тому

your videos are amazing the best I have ever seen thank you very much

@ABCElevator1989 12 років тому

this is a great video. as you can see on the scope how the square wave turned out after it passed through the inductor and how its shape was changed. this is due in part by when current is first applied to an inductor, it is at its maximum and slowly diminishes because of saturation. Capacitors are the exact opposite they are at minimum when current is first applied but then they gradually build up to the potential.

@rjday753 10 років тому

We love you Collin, make more videos!!

You're Amazing!

@alsports2000 12 років тому

I 100% agree with Milo who commented on how some persons can teach but cannot explain it in a way that one learns from it, you do teach and explain it very well. I just finished building an electromagnet using a D battery and a screw wrapped by an insulated wire. One huge problem: as soon as I connect the negative wire the wire gets very hot and starts to smoke and I burn my fingers. Question: Is there a way around the heating and burning aspect to this project??. Thanks. AL.

@vincentmagician 13 років тому

soooooooo, if a magnetic feild passes through the coil it creates electricity as well hence how manual charge devices (like the shake to charge flashlights) work right?
