Holly smokes!!! This is a great tutorial series!!! Keep 'em coming!!! I'm learning soooo much!!!

[@CharlieTechie]

What a great and clean tutorial! Thank you for all your work. Looking forward to the rest of the series and the other videos you have made.

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

part 2 of my SMPS tutorial is now uploaded !

[@berthold64]

Could you make a video tutorial about kirchoff's law?

[@Inspironator]

Sir, Thank you for breaking down a very complex topic into smaller, more understandable pieces. I am looking forward to viewing your other videos. Liked and subscribed! Cheers.

[@lukesmith9059]

You have some really great videos, thank you for taking all the time to share your knowledge! Don't stop making them :)

[@AshleyMillsTube]

This is a fantastic series of tutorials! Thanks for this.

[@duhbe]

Thanks a lot for this series of videos. Very clear and well structured. I hope you will address other subjects...

[@TheCopperbolt]

Du bist ein hammermäßiger Erklärbär! Weiter so!

[@yogeshbhoite4402]

detail explanation is done here which was difficult to understand from books thanks for your effort .

[@MohammedAbualgassim]

These tutorials are wonderful ... Thanks

[@viesturssilins858]

This is extremely well done and thought out. Thank you for your good work! I eagerly await your following videos!

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Well thank you for your positive feedback. I'm working on 10 new videos as we speak and a lot of stuff will go online in the next weeks. But I could still use more support, so please show this to your friends and share it online if you want :)

[@viesturssilins858]

The Post Apocalyptic Inventor Good luck with your plans! I like your structured approach to subjects. It is nice to have a hierarchical knowledge tree of different solutions to a problem or types of possible uses for a component. Makes for easy understanding, good recall and pleasant base for reasoning about circuits based on that knowledge. There is lot of stuff to know in electronics and if helps to organize it! By the way, I found out about your channel from the EEVblog forum.

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Yeah you're absolutely right. The world of modern electronics is vast and it is very hard to get an overview. I know a lot of people who are professionals in electrical engineering and yet have no general knowledge about basic circuit topologies outside their particular field. I fought many years to acquire some general knowledge about electronics and I'm still working actively on structuring that knowledge. These videos are the result of that structuring process. The EEVblog Forum is a great place. It's the only Forum that I really like.

[@jorgewashington2981]

Superb video series. Thank you.

[@izzzzzz6]

looking forward to part 3. You make electronics easy to understand, thanks.

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Hey thank you for the feedback. If you like the video, then please share it and show it to your friends :). Part 3 is already in the making...

[@lior.camera]

looking forward to part 3 !!!

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

I appreciate it :). Part 3 is online since yesterday. So watch it any time you like!

[@TekCroach]

Excellent and very educative. :)

[@sankalpsethi4574]

Very well explained! Deserves more views.

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Thank You very much. If you can, then share my videos with your friends, maybe i it will help me get more views :)

[@sankalpsethi4574]

Sure will, also subscribing to your channel (Y)

[@JustIppo]

Recently started on the understanding of smps. Thumps up man and keep up the good work. looking forward for part 3 . i hope you gonna eplain sometime step by step the full function of an smps like computer ps. i like yr work. thanks from greece !

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Hey part 3 is online now. I will also analyze and explain the power supply unit of a PC in one of the following videos in detail.

[@JustIppo]

thanks a lot my friend :) already watched your last video. was so detailed as expected :)

[@oariv]

Excellent man

[@mrmoon7484]

Awesome! Thanks Man!

[@sri20141]

Great work.. Keep it up

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Thanks for the kind words. I can always use some feedback to keep me working on new videos. I guess part 3 will be online before the end of this week. You can help me with this by sharing this video and showing it to your friends :)

[@lior.camera]

you are great !!!

[@TranBinhDuong]

Thank you for your work. Please guide me how to winding a switched-mode ps transformer as Flyback or/and Forward-transformer...

[@Otiesh]

Great to know. However, I wonder if there is any new technology for AC to AC step down converter of higher wattage, like 3000 watts stepping down 230V to 120V. because the only ones that I know, are those with a very huge transformer which actually adds a heavy weight to the device, is there a lighter version.

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Otiesh Francis Yes there are modern topologies which can be used for that. But it would be no direct conversion from AC --> AC, but it would be AC--->DC--> DC--->AC. First the 230 V grid voltage is rectified and charged to a capacitor. The capacitor is used as a DC voltage source for a full bridge converter. That converter operates at a switching frequency much higher than the grid frequency, so that a much smaller transformer can be used. The output voltage of the full bridge converter is a lower DC voltage. After that comes an Inverter circuit that again creates a 50/60 Hz AC ( with V_eff = 120 V) from the DC output voltage of the full bridge converter. The overall weight will be much lower, than that of an old 50/60 Hz transformer, but designing such a circuit is no work for beginners: Building a high power full bridge converter and a sine wave inverter are no simple task.

[@Otiesh]

Thanks and I appreciate....If I may ask you one more question? I have a QSC plx2 3102 power amplifier rated at 120v and in my country we use 230v, the amplifier is of a switched mode power supply and I have tried to do a search on how I can convert its power from 120v to 230v and as told by many, it is not possible. could you have any info' on power amps that use the switched mode technology power supply.

[@godsontogo5664]

I liked this tutorial but it didnt't help me much since i'm a high school student trying to know the basics of electricity circuits. I will very appreciate it if you could make a video for us beginners about diodes and their functions rather than these complex circuits. I'm subscribed to your page from now on and i hope to see some more educational videos like this. Thank you!

Viva Deutschland!

[@SudiptaMandalsuri]

you should improve the sound quality. Please make it more louder

[@Leonelf0]

Are you from germany?

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Yes Sir!

[@Leonelf0]

The_Post_Apocalyptic_Inventor Your accent is good, good pronounciation etc :D Are the "_"s in your username intentional?

[@ThePostApocalypticInventor]

Yes they were inentional when I first created my account. But by now I think it was a mistake to do this :D
