I get it now. When you short the inductor, you're making it start to flow more current. Inductors like to maintain current flow, so when you stop the tap to ground, it'll continue trying to flow that current. It has nowhere to go except theough the diode and into the capacitor. Capacitors resist voltage changes due to their love of sinking current, so they accept all that extra current with ease. More current flow into the capacitor increases the voltage above the original level because of the blocking diode. Perfect demo! Thanks.

Even the EE degree viewers appreciate your "basic" videos.

[@IMSAIGuy]

I've always thought, if you can't explain things at a simple level, you don't really understand them.

[@aviateur17]

@@IMSAIGuy Agreed, and you do a wonderful job. I really enjoy your videos!

[@clems6989]

Yea, certainly. I'm a EE but I work in machine automation. These videos really help fill the gaps..

I never got a degree after getting my Good Enough Diploma. IMSAI Guy has helped me Lots.

The better we understand the BASICS the better we will understand everything that is going on. Great vid now bring on the "rest of the story". thanks, Carl

[@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE]

I've taught photography and understand the difficulty or where to pitch on the ability/experience curve. You do well to cater for all levels and thank-you for your work. As a returner and beginner ham, this video was a great mix of refresh and leaning. I shall watch the rest of this series with interest. Thank-you.

[@Rsoeiro]

You have a teaching gift. thank you so much for all your videos! thank you sir

[@BryanByTheSea]

I have been watching your videos for the last couple months. You really should have 10x the subscribers. Great content.

[@shobhitverma2478]

My journey for understanding ends here. Thanks so much for such a nice explanation.

[@sofiaengvall]

How does this just have 3k views and 263 likes? Well, now there's one more like at least. I'll be watching a lot of your videos, great explanations!

[@bobkozlarekwa2sqq59]

Boy, one video a day - you are on a roll. Much appreciated

[@inductr]

Always fond of inductors, now even more! For switching played with SSR DC type, and found that it was snubbing so only some frequencies work, was confounded at first hehe. So the switching element cannot snub alot I guess, stealing the pumped emf?

[@pbaemedan]

Good video, I would recommend you explain the difference in storage elements. The capacitor is storing its energy in the electric field and the energy in the Inductor is in the magnetic field. You did explain this, but it is the rate of change of voltage and the rate of change of the current. It is the back EMF from the Inductor that adds to the voltage on the capacitor to boost the voltage. I enjoy your instruction, thank you. It will be interesting to see what we are going to learn in the remaing parts.

[@washerdryeradvicechannel8041]

Always very interesting content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@inductr]

This is just great inductor magic! Love the demo

[@alocin110]

You are a GREAT teacher. Hats off to your knowledge and sharing. Thank you so much. I liked your video.

[@IMSAIGuy]

You are welcome!

[@dellodel9502]

First thanks for the leçon . 1- For the second method ( 2 transistor ) . I think that PWM SIGNAL must be always SO FAST because we have the ability to slowing down ( decreasing ) but we dont have it for rising ( increasing). 2- Can we use an RC oscilator for generating a square wave signal ?. Thanks.

[@BenWard29]

You should call this the Tappan Zee Bridge...

[@BJcanal270]

Very informative content!!

[@clems6989]

Amazing, the way you simplify these concepts. Great Job ! BTW, is there a pool ball on your bench. Ir a magic 8-ball ..? Thats what i use for all major decisions....lol

[@garysewell5465]

Great video. Thank you

[@q12x]

Brilliantly explained !

[@David_Hogue]

Even as someone working with a small team of software engineers I have a hard time deciding how to approach subjects. Too high level and I might not get my message across and maybe they won't ask questions. Too basic and I worry they'll check out because they perceive it as me talking down to them.

[@ytrew9717]

it would be easier to understand if you used different types of connectors or wires for the circuit and for the voltmeters and if you use some pins to put your circuit just in front of the schematic so we know where we are on it. Like in 10:06 there are 3 connectors to the same pin. I'm completely lost. It's a shame because it's a nice idea to tape the wire to show what it does.

[@ruhnet]

Excellent! Thanks

[@toffpv]

I finaly understand !!! Thank you for this video.

[@IMSAIGuy]

I'm glad it helped someone

[@Calm142]

Thank you sir.

Thank you

You are my hero

[@commandoo1]

any way to get regulated ac voltage from a transformer.

[@commandoo1]

i wan to get 24 voltsAC from step down transformer.but when ever in put varies out put also changes.any possible solution to get stable 24volts AC.

[@IMSAIGuy]

the old HP power supplies (Harrison) had a pre regulation before the transformer. it was like a light dimmer circuit that used an SCR. you might look at some of those schematics

[@StigBSivertsen]

You know what? Even I understood that... Awesome 👍

[@IMSAIGuy]

Glad to hear that!

[@HelmutTschemernjak]

This was a super great training video, can you put your PayPal account into the description for supporting your Lab. Regards Helmut

[@IMSAIGuy]

Sorry, only Patreon at this time.

[@ytrew9717]

also, it's not a good idea to use a compact coil, in a white plastic on a white background, I don't see the difference between input and output. It would be better to add a real coil and 2 wires connected to the coil for input and output to see what's going on.

[@magnuswootton6181]

its funny how a dc dc converter has ac in it.

[@jdmccorful]

Real good stuff!
