It wouldn't be a very clean 60 hertz that's for sure

It really hertz to see them work

Ok, Johnny ! Here is your job: you switch DC back into AC. It’s easy, really, but if you don’t synchronise your legs with the mains everything will explode.

Aren't you glad, that you spent your time wisely :')

rofl you right

You have no degree.

Honestly, this video is a great summation of everything that’s learned in the first two years of an electrical engineering degree. With that said, it in no way prepares you to do any circuit designs or anything, but it’s still a great video

I didn't even learn about HVDC during my degree.. Only now in my career I am

Then u never thought u'd live to see a mother of all fuller bridge rectifier

Oh that’s great I never thought of that 🤭

That's exactly what happens in Itaipu. Their 10 Paraguay-side generators run in 50Hz and export 80% of their energy to Brazil in HVDC, then it is converted to 60Hz

But it does not matter? You can still convert AC to AC

​@@Aguy644to a different voltage yes, very easily. But if you want to, for example, convert from 500KV 50Hz to 220KV 60Hz you need to convert to DC first. Otherwise you will get 220KV 50Hz, and what will happen is the same as in 5:49

I quote : "Otherwise Explosion" - Medhi, 2018

Rule number two: repeat rule number one.

What's that? Could you speak up a bit?

Rule number two, use headphones anyway because neighbors will call the emergency service when they hear a guy getting electrocuted

@@kanjitard I had made a Halloween electric chair prop, I put a strobe in the dummy and a speaker underneath with electrocution sounds and screaming.

Yup, M.A.F.B.R is just 12-pulse rectifier, while there are also 18-pulse and 24-pulse available. Some of them are RIGHT UNDER YOUR DESK!!! Powering the CPU with 1,5 volts or so, but hundreds of amps.

God yes i want this as a shirt!

But 50 hz messes with older electronics. Ever hear of sluggish sonic games?

@@spidercubed9718 Some equipment uses the mains frequency to drive their clock (eg: old consoles, and even some modern electric clocks), it is actually quite a sensible source for a cheap, stable, known frequency ... until you ship your product to a country running at a different mains frequency, then your electric clock (or CPU clock) runs at a division/multiple of *that* mains frequency. So Sonic, programmed to run at 60 FPS (footfalls per second) in N-America/Japan, can now only run his little blue legs at 50 FPS* in the rest of the world. Luckily, the rest of the game is equally slowed down to match, so he doesn't notice. But the player does notice, as most people's brains aren't clocked to local mains frequency, (ElectroBOOM being the exception: since he is so often wired into the mains, it makes sense in his case.). * the relation to *real* FPS in terms of TV Frames Per Second is because analog TVs would sync. to the mains frequency, which is why it was *very* important for the power company to keep the frequency *very* stable (and synced at least across each broadcast region, as the transmitter also had to sync to the mains frequency so the TVs could receive its picture), which takes us back around to why the mains frequency was such a reliable source of cheap stable frequency ready to be used by console makers who didn't initially think of exporting their products globally then hit little frequency snags when they eventually did.

@@vikiai4241 Love your explanations xD

Iam from Europe to but we got 50/60 hz

I live on a small island and the power is pretty "dirty." Our stove clock gains minutes every few days as a result, it's crazy.

@@MannyFresh1x Thank you.

Underrated

👍🤣🤣🤣

While applauding, a little correction: sine wave, not sign :) And there is actually one thing to elaborate on the Mehdi's speech too, the shown inverter output is called "modified sinewave", which is a fancy name for that impure square wave, doped with deadtime between semicycles and voltage set near-peak value of the equal sinewave. There is also another, rather a glib inaccuracy in the video, using the MWO transformer in demonstration. It is bad for such, because they are famous for actually consuming whole lot of real power when idling. That's because they are not designed to ever idle - they always have the magnetron hard-wired in their secondaries. Thus they are designed with as little turns in primary as possible without the core saturating at the working voltage *with the voltage drop caused by the constant load*. Therefore, when they are "misused" without the magnetron-sized load, primary has the full mains voltage without the drop by the load, and the core goes into saturation and high real power gets turned into heat on primary.

sign wave lol

Cleverness is knowing what people mean without acting like a fukin spelling checking English teacher 😅😅😅😅

Sounds like an absolutely gigantic ammeter

Thanks for your clarifications Ricardo! It's always good to hear some input from people in the field.

Not to mention the fact that Edison is also wrong because AC-motors are usually more efficient and have less maintenance than DC motors. This is not that big of an issue in most households right now, but it might become a huge problem is heat-pumps and bigger airconditioners start becoming more commonplace due to climate change and rising power-bills. The mechanical components are usually simply the biggest power-consumers in just about every system.

Ei Ricardo! Sou estudante de engenharia elétrica, e me interesso pela área de transmissão. Uma dúvida básica que tenho sobre a transmissão DC: No controle da transmissão AC deseja-se uma maior ou menor corrente nas linhas devido a variações de demanda e também atenuação de efeitos capacitivos das mesmas. Para estes casos, basta a utilização de transformadores com mudança de TAP para controle de tensão. No DC, embora os efeitos capacitivos não existam, a quantidade de corrente devido a demanda ainda precisa ser controlada. Como é feito o controle de corrente nos cabos, de forma a garantir o fluxo de potência necessário?

Felipe Magalhães o fluxo de potência no link DC é controlado pelo ângulo de disparo dos tiristores nas duas extremidades da linha, mas acho que a sua pergunta é mais ampla. Em todo sistema de potência existe uma 'barra swing' que absorve as variações de carga de forma a sempre manter a geração igual ao consumo, afinal não há como estocar energia elétrica. Podemos estocar a água dos reservatórios. Normalmente a barra swing é uma grande hidroelétrica que fica configurada para operar 'livremente' enquanto as outras geradoras ficam modo PQ constantes, ou seja ficam gerando sempre a mesma potência ativa e reativa. Espero ter respondido sua dúvida

@@FayettiSiqueira respondeu sim! Muito obrigado 🙂

@@Anomoomin or, for a lifetime of inefficiency and shame, a voltage regulator would work... unless, y'know... tubes.

but switches will be destroyed, no null point to help break the circuit.

.... If you really want, you can build a distribution level rectifier by taking the mains, converting it down to a highly regulated 12V, then using only high quality car audio equipment. Course then you'll have noise from the circuits that get it back to AC again.

It’s so casually said

Diodes aren't voltage limiters or filters. They are on/off valves similar to a one-way check valve. Whatever the voltage is doing while the diode is on, aka forward bias, will be seen on the output. If the input happens to be a sine wave, you will see the peak of that same sine wave on the output of the diode while it is in forward bias.

Wrong, it's how high the voltage is that is the factor that causes jumping or arcing.

AC crosses zero voltage 60 times a second which will break arcs, while DC does not. The fact that it's DC doesn't cause arcing, but it is far more damaging when it does.

I just loved the "things started to go boom here and there" part.

From what I know thyristor is the name of the family that includes: SCR, ASCR, GTO and IGBT. it's like calling a BJT a transistor, which is.

@@Danial3w no no, it's the other way around, some of the SCRs may use thyristors, but some may use IGBTs, triacs and whatnot

Thyristor is common in the UK, probably portmanteau of thyratron (a gas filled switching valve) + transistor. Thyristors/SCRs are the only semiconductor devices capable of megawatt levels of power, and are heavily used for high power controllers for large motors etc.

You are using more energy to charge up the capacitor while lighting the bulb, which discharges between peaks. Think of the capacitor as a battery that you charge up while 'lighting' the lightbulb, the capacitor (battery) then powers the light bulb while the wires are providing no voltage, discharging it in the process. You then have to recharge the capacitor on the next cycle.

Too bad he didn't go grapple a 12.5kv line outside. That would've been more fun
