Marble run as a metaphor for electricity.. that's super clever!

[@gilbus4989]

I have had electronics classes. I think your descriptive explanations are better that those of some instructors I have had. By the way I just stumbled into your website. Knowing you guys are engineers is what attracted me to your website. Thanks.

[@super_burk]

Keyword: attracted

[@rexgexnortowmader5165]

Very informative. I enjoy your interpretations. As another comment says, your explanations are FUN as well as A Learning process!!! GREAT JOB I'LL KEEP WATCHING

[@seanmostert4213]

Great easy to follow video, thanks for sharing

[@mohamedosama9312]

very nice lesson. I liked the way you make things very easy i followed a lot of tutorials but this tutorial is the only one which made me understand the electricity very easily. thank you very much Xyla for this beautiful tutorial.

[@bryanwhatley]

You crack me up!!!! Love listening to your videos and how you are yourself when teaching and explaining the concepts. Please keep them up. The whole team of you guys are doing a great job.

[@segaran133]

GREAT.I LOVED IT.

[@shwetaroy9084]

My favorite teacher

[@thesoundpainterbkny3465]

I don't know what she is talking about but i'm in love with this woman!! :)

[@scottsledge6041]

Well done!! Very helpful explanations. A couple of times she says that the electrons are moving in a circuit, which is interesting - it's the flow of Current which powers things, the electrons moving or being stationary is not relevant.

[@billszymborski584]

Great video. I am trying to understand electricity and circuits. I am a DIY kind of guy and these things have always baffled me. Thank you!

[@HaroFan2011]

I see what you did there with the ancient text thing clever!

[@glukosan380]

you have soldered my heart

[@robertphelps41]

You are both A and I.....Attractive and Informative ! Nice content and presentation ! Keep up the good work...

[@JoeJ-8282]

I know you guys are a very new channel, with not very much content, (yet), but I foresee many great upcoming videos on all things electronic related, so I think I'll subscribe just to see what you come up with in the future...

[@bogeyj]

Great videos!

[@r.d.6290]

This lecture makes the brain and the bolt happy ;)

[@Hizbu-cg5tl]

wow !its wounderful

[@saberthetanker4085]

i cant understand but still watching lol she looks awesome explaining

[@user-ub6nw6tm4y]

very clever

[@koushikbanerjee2118]

I like it.

[@realinoindapaniii3832]

thanks

[@cybernatwa]

I am confused as started with "flow of electrons" being 'electron current' to convert over to 'conventional current' on Carl's Coaster. Either way will function providing you do not change method while applying the process. So with in your tutorial you are trying to say is a Charge (potential energy) provides force for electrons to currently migrate from negative to positive while encountering opposition / resistance through a load? Using Carl being up on the roller coaster experiences resistance sliding due to friction descending to the bottom??

[@stehpen_exe]

Super helpful. Could you make a video on different power sources / when to use electrical components like (transistors, capacitor, voltage regulators)? go LHS Alum !

[@ridonculous8374]

Alright alright... i subscribed 😗

[@dmouse451]

In the near future, will you have a video on the basics of how to use a multimeter? Great video - Thanks!

[@BeautyandtheBolt]

Definitely! Its on our to-do list!

[@scheuerman]

The number of protons in the nucleus defines to what chemical element the atom belongs. The example that she drew is a Helium atom. For a more in-depth review of the structure of atoms I would recommend reading or watching physics topics.

[@aarsenalfan]

Always loved preschool teachers. 🤣👌

[@OmBotCult]

Any way we will get an explanation of op amps?

[@BeautyandtheBolt]

We're working on one!

[@off-gridhillbillystyle3735]

Wow you should make further content. Like maybe Tesla coils or hho

[@ChristiaanVisser01]

I think I need extra home schooling lesson's from you in real life..

[@YTANDY100]

i didnt know there were cell phones in 2750bc , see i do learn things , hehe :-)

[@badwolf8112]

You say current isn’t the flow of electrons but then explain how electrons travel through a circuit. I feel electric charge is still a mystic concept

[@shaynekin]

For Carl's Coaster you said Current flows Positive to Negative, the drawing shows the same. But earlier in the video, when you had a picture of a battery you said Current flows Negative to Positive. What's up with that?

[@Z06TONE]

Yeah I caught that also 🤔

[@galneryusx2911]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ameerudinkkqaimkhani5340]

What is mean by 101??

[@timenavigator9643]

Thank you so much for presenting this information in such refreshing/revealing ways! Also, I may be in love with the “Beauty”...lmao hmu girl

[@BeautyandtheBolt]

You need to watch our channel more, Andrew is the “Beauty” and Xyla is the Bolt! 😂

[@GORF_EMPIRE]

Electronics made adorable!

[@alexabadi7458]

It has always been, you just don't know how to appreciate and enjoy it !

[@GORF_EMPIRE]

@@alexabadi7458 I've doe both enjoy and appreciate electronics long before this young lady It is her that is adorable.

[@MarcusAndersonsBlog]

@3:00 "... de to of de rurrrer to de bot m de rerrrrerrr... " Me: say "river" Her: rerrrrerrr Unbelieve.

[@EngRiadAlmadani]

nice

[@couchpoet1]

Hmm.

[@alexabadi7458]

I have 3 daughters and I've been trying to teach them electronic but without any success so far...

[@colviefilms7609]

I'm only 3 mins in and I'm already in love with her.

[@rickbowen1025]

Wow, atoms really matter

[@LachanceM]

Tomorrow I'm still learning how electricity works. Cause I'm dumb.

[@MonoAnji]

A superconductor doesn't have any electrical resistance. :)

[@glloyd1987]

Do atoms remind you of transistors in a way? Or is it just me?

[@enstyouube]

except for superconductor

[@pradipselectrolab2994]

Unable to understand, from where to start? So much is contained in your channel.

[@electromagic3111]

ily😉😚

[@jasonchu4400]

i'm not paying attention to the science i can tell you that..

[@technixbul]

Ha ... you look like Sky (Daisy) from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

[@andreydoichinov1683]

I understood everything except why her arms are red?

[@TechCityTv]

I know this is for girls, but I'm gonna start watching this :3

[@Thedrifter1986]

I wanna find a girl like you, a beautiful nerdy girl

Whiteboard = resistance 🤭

Very hot

CAT MURDERER!

[@NSMQ1998]

If she is my doctor I would study my hardest and get full marks😻

[@paulthomasairconditioningl892]

Good video but you need to speak a little slower.

[@AFMR0420]

That’s so not what an atom looks like. Actually an atom looks like nothing because its too small to reflect light.

[@AFMR0420]

Also, electrons don’t “flow”.

[@abboallawi2339]

OMG baby . you are amazing cat . i don't under stand anything . any way i;m interesting

[@chuyrodriguez9646]

Warning...please don't watch this video when drunk (for males) ...mind is in the gutter ...your welcome

[@md.golamdostogir5433]

can't you speak a little bit slower??????????

[@BeautyandtheBolt]

Sorry for the speed - we get excited sometimes. The closed captions should help (We're working on making sure those are accurate), but we'll try to make sure we don't talk too fast :)

[@Sopheris]

just play video at 0,75 speed ;p
