This series is a true keeper. Thank you! Yes, take his advice and do them in order, for sure! Also, don't forget you can read/copy the transcript if you do better with reading along!

[@yama-fanboy]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@JDFloyd]

Thank you for the class. I am embarrassed to admit I needed this class. Thank you Professor Hobo.

[@captaincurt3180]

YES!! I played around with simple circuits as a kid, but my profession took me in a different direction, so it is always a good idea to review & re-focus on how NOT to let out the Magic Smoke!

[@matthewsautbine9339]

Agreed. Thank you Good Sir Hobo for explaining things in a simple manner for those of us that are not electric savvy.

[@jimboforest4911]

Sorry. Bud. It's. Over. My. Head. Wasn't. Good at. Maths

[@dross24MA]

Never be embarrassed by the complexity of this topic! Many of us have been through multiple attempts to lear it all and to extrapolate what was said to what we need. Onwarrrrd!!!

[@joolz7379]

Thank you Professor. As a girl, I wasn't taught anything about this kind of stuff growing up, so I appreciate you filling in the gaps now.

[@lonnieschreiner5879]

Thank you for going back to the basics and building from there.

[@Gwen3344]

Thank you so much for this! This education is what so many of us non-techy people are desperately needing and seeking. I've learned enough over the years to generally understand these concepts, but struggle to put them to practical use. I am encouraged by what I saw and heard in this video. I've been a subscriber for years, but today I became a fan. Be assured, I will pass these tutorials along to others! *One humble request:* please explain amp hours and watt hours in terms of use cases, including which one matters for determining what size power station and panels to buy; and how exactly to make those calculations. Thank you!

[@gsp49]

I'm sure he is going to get to that.

"Powerful" Presentation of Voltage Pressures by my favorite Professor @Hobotech

[@darmou]

Totally 'electrifying' content lol

[@ConwayCreatorWebDevelopm-oq1ii]

Finally, something worth watching & learning from. Teach more

[@jsrogers702]

Thank you very much HoboTech. Your knowledge is so amazing and appreciated.

[@criticalhadlock886]

I loved this! Thank you. Very well done and dumbed down for the rest of us. A Festivus for the rest of us!

[@racebanning6390]

😂🤣😂🤣👍👍👍

[@Chee-toe]

Thank you so much for doing this series. I’ve tried to understand concepts of electricity but have not succeeded. As a female in the 1970s, we were not invited to attend shop classes etc. I appreciate this opportunity to learn now as I am in my 60s. Never too old to learn.

[@gsp49]

One automotive tune up class in the 70s helped me all my life, Ohms law and all that. I'm in my 60s and agree, back then it was considered a man's profession.

[@snicker12]

This was very helpful and informative to a newbie in the electric and solar world. Thanks for this.

[@jarmelbarnett6922]

Fundamentals are the backbone of knowledge! Thank you for this session and the ones to come.

[@seanrafferty6672]

Very educational; much appreciated

[@rayholan4737]

Thanks, Professor. Your first class answered a number of questions I didn't realize I had. Good job. Looking forward to "staying in school" at Hobo-university

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

Thank you for this series! Perfect pace and presentation. Like others have said ... I have general/vague knowledge ... this along with the reviews is so helpful!

[@Eric_Tennant]

My Solar bike is 48v. love the e-whiteboard.

[@tdapple1]

Thank you 🙏 for this Professor 🧑‍🏫.

[@ccamesr]

Very practical ,enlightening ,educational and a great real person wit and humor

[@erinsable]

thankyou SIr. Your a really good teacher. I appreciate it. thanks.

[@pierredenonville8915]

thanks for the information. Looking forward to the next lesson.

[@walkbyfaith75]

Thanks for the video. This was a great learning video on Volts

[@mr.c6674]

Thank you for the basics information. This helps a great deal Sir!

[@dennisspino2607]

Thanks for the info, you put it so it is very easy to understand

[@TheBreamer999]

Greetings from Prince Edward Island Canada. I vote to keep these videos. I bought the Buletti AC 180 based on your review, very happy with it. I do miss the dune buggy video at the end of each review, with the ZZ Top music. I'm 61 and tech has escaped me over the years but I'm catching up thanks to your videos.

[@HOBOTECH]

I liked the outro too but it was hurting my watch time. That's bad for KZbin suggesting my videos.

[@DavidsVanHomeAdventure]

Thanks for the class

[@jasonbroom7147]

Very ambitious undertaking, very well-executed!

[@keithanthony9903]

Sweet I’m excited for the new series!!!!

[@jasonbeymer4025]

This is an amazing tutorial. I have a background in electricity & solar and you made this so informative and friendly.

[@jobethk588]

Thank you!

[@DanaK80]

Thank you for this!

[@LaidBackPedalPusher]

Thanks. I'm beginning to understand. Hi, Odin!

[@raybroussard]

Great job let’s see part two!

[@bobjohnson1824]

Thank you

[@RT-mn2pb]

Thank you. Terrific video. I especially like that you focus a lot on voltage limits and voltage ranges. Most people will think "oh it's a 12V system, so everything is exactly 12V everywhere". Nope. For example, our point that controllers will drive voltage down but not up. -- Suggestion: you could add a summary video about the main practical points about design or product selection from all of the educational videos, with pointers to which video to get more details.

[@dai-ut5zl]

thanks for the effort

[@johnstrohmeyer6420]

Excellent content. I can’t wait for more.

[@MrFormeypi]

Starting to understand this crazy world of electricity. Thank you

[@mrcoma42]

Thank you, this is just what I was thinking I needed to know. really looking forward to your next videos.

[@pjh432]

Very helpful very much appreciate you doing an educational series

[@mikesmith1550]

thank you! Very helpful for us newbies. Keep 'em coming!

[@calmperson101]

Drawing is an interesting outcome... You rock! Cheers!

[@jamesdean7756]

This was brilliant. Many of us newbies needs this kind of detail and we all start out as noobs.

[@peterhogan9811]

Absolutely valuable info and helps promote safety, thank you

[@ReverendGreg]

Well done sir! I'm waiting for your next installment.

[@lorirodgers9474]

Thank you!!!

[@EnhancedSimplicity]

Appreciate this video! 👍🏾

[@charlesurrea1451]

I'm seriously flashing back to those long talks with those old guys at the electronics shop back in the day. I remember them using terms such as valves and pressure. I've always related voltage as being the speed, how fast the electricity is moving through

[@gunrunner5095]

I like it! It's always good to cover the basics.

[@gsp49]

He skipped over the very basics, I guess we were supposed to learn that in 5th grade science class. Remember the strip of zinc and a lemon?

[@NovaDeb]

Good video. Very informative.😊

[@capfisher6626]

Its nice to re-Fresh the off grid solar parameters As I've built my system a few years ago, and it runs autonomously, and sometimes when I go back to it, I forget some of the things that I learned as I've moved onto other projects 😳 Keep up the good work

[@Eric_Tennant]

@HOBOTECH Collab Idea! Doing a long solar bike tour in November if your ever looking to live like a real hobo for a week or so.

[@HOBOTECH]

We can chat. Been wondering when you were going to do another tour. I know is too hot down there, but in summer come up to the AZ mountains. I have acreage to camp on.

[@billwilkins8307]

Great timing, starting to think about home backup and solar. Thanks!

[@michaelmathers6739]

Thanks

[@18rcurry]

Thank you.😊

[@craigclarke1628]

Fantastic video and very educational even when I thought I had a great understanding of the subject. Love the use of the electronic white board.

[@roosterprice]

Well done

[@rmorales1029]

Nice job! Looking forward to the next one.

[@spidrawebster]

Thank you so much. I'm a subscriber but I've had such a hard time finding basics that lay out the groundwork to understanding electricity enough to make good decisions while choosing solar and other options.

[@dbf4076]

I love love love these videos. I need to learn more.

[@joem7755]

This is Awesome.. I have been a long time sub and always wanted to see a rundown on how you figure some of this stuff out. For many its gets confusing and what things to look out for before burning things up.

[@johnpitre1295]

Great job !

[@SingleTrackMined]

Great presentation! This information can never be emphasized too much. It's also important to note that 48v, unlike the lower voltages, is deadly. I've worked with electricity for a long time and I go back to basics often. Thanks, Professor!

[@billy-go9kx]

It is not the voltage that kills you. it is the current. That is what the USN taught me. In reality it is the combination of the two. You can touch HV as long as you are not grounded or near a ground to spark to.

[@fredwebster1091]

thanks

[@coryanderson2371]

I really like your show and I like watching you and learn a lot. Sometimes I can't remember what you told me what to do. Yes, I watched it so I could learn more. But that's pretty tough to remember. I'm things like that. Thank you.

[@Snerdles]

I always thought it was build a man a fire and he will be warm for a night but set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life...

[@mojorider8455]

thanks for the explanations, I "kind of" knew some of this but not in real clarity and it's total application. I just want to avoid the magical smoke and any kind of fire!

[@Mangler316]

Nice use of the SmartBoard.

[@bshwin]

Great Video!

[@blugnu1]

Thank you!, from a Very basic vidiot!

[@Sam_Mebane]

Preach on professor!

[@stepheneger8884]

You're the GREATEST!!!

[@KatyInNH]

This info is super duper

[@Off-gridPA]

Good Stuff!

[@OCHO.008]

Very good 🎉

[@richardpeatman7260]

Excellent!

[@iglapsu88]

Nice. My Volta Power Systems Architecture on my RV is a 48 V nominal system. This is good education. Looking forward to the discussion on current/amps and resistance.

[@campmansoutdoors6927]

Love the new outfit professor, you should wear it from now on!! 🤙

[@wendelguthrie]

Thsnks

[@hardworkingamerican8847]

Never seen someone draw an 8 like I do . Galactic cousins or maybe it was some funny smoke at one time .

[@ajmaxx5996]

Second, the professor is in session

[@garycopa5884]

beautiful

[@RVerJerry]

Nice board.

[@thomasraden3793]

My ebike has a 220 volt charger. It consumes 150 watts while charging. Full charge takes 4-5 hours. Connecting this charger to an inverter, you probably need an inverter of at least 300 watts to fully charge your bike battery without too much heat dissipation. We are talking about huge amounts of amps here, at least 18 amps from a 12 volt battery. I will try an Ecoflow river 2 max to see if it can charge my battery full.

[@manuelester7420]

Hobo what's up with that cyber truck? 😁 Thats really a Pontiac transport. 😂

[@daviddjerf2856]

Looking forward to SUBtember!

[@jofrazier-hansen4097]

Shared video.

[@kb6lcw99]

Professor!

[@benjaminhrabina4194]

Puff puff pass the ‘magic smoke’ lolz 💨 💨

[@roboticscorpions]

Awesome Tshirt are you going to add that to your merch site..please🙏

[@soulmanm12954]

Would you mind doing a short explanation on charging the Lectric bike brand of batteries using solar and/or solar generator. I tried asking Lectric and they would not agree to using any product other than their ac to dc charging setup! I hate going ac to dc when all you need is dc to dc for charging! Thank you for the videos! Look forward to the series!

[@HOBOTECH]

I did one on using a sogen kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaask6mEmaiFnMk

[@5FWS5]

Thanks for that. My big issue designing a mobile(van) system is finding the SCC that I want in the 3000watt range that will work well at the usually low VOC from the limited roof space on my van. Usually these SCC's lowest input voltage are higher than the usually two or possibly three max solar panels that will fit on a van roof. Im shooting for 800watts of solar panels, 8kw - 15kw 48v batteries with alt charging. I want to use my van as a mobile backup power station for my critical loads at my home and to full power my off grid cabin.

[@HOBOTECH]

The 60A HQST I reviewed would have no issue with 800w of panels in series.

[@5FWS5]

@@HOBOTECH Yeah I meant to say All-in-One charger controller. Im looking at seperate components now. Ill check that out Thanks!

[@jeremydean6103]

Awesome

[@VinoVeritas_]

1:47 The flow of electrons is called current. The faster the flow, the higher the current.

[@Lori-t6i]

I really want to understand, but I never do. 😢 I would need to watch this for a week and then I might get it. 😢

[@edtechsensei2303]

I like your smart board. Used one for years in my classroom. I was famous for my horrible drawings. At least your car is recognizable.

[@neilrankin9945]

It may be helpful to explain Ohm’s law to those unfamiliar with electrical theory.

[@HOBOTECH]

Watch part 2

[@WhskAZCL]

Mr. Hobo teach us how to use our power station we bought to offset some of the power consumption. I would love to know if there is such an ac to ac grid tie inverter so we can use the stored energy for our internal power consumption

[@HOBOTECH]

I just reviewed an ac coupled grid tie inverter last month.

[@carolbator2443]

Thank you. I bought a Pecron e1500lfp and I have been looking at solar panels for the roof of my van. Confused by VOC and VMP. Now, I am more certain that VOC is the important number. Finding the right panels to run in series to get VOC between 32 and 80 volts is part 1. Looking forward to learning about amps. Will be measuring the available space on my van roof to see if there is any way to get 400 watts up there with the right combo of volts and amps. My BIG QUESTION now is "If the solar panel is not putting out all the rated watts, does that affect the voltage? the amps? both?" If I can only get 200 watts on my roof and it is partly shaded so the panels only produce 50 watts, will I get nothing out of the charge controller?

[@HOBOTECH]

Amps are reduced, not volts when output is lowered.

[@eugene5438]

That graduation gown looks like it came from NAU. 😁

[@RickElliott-o9p]

Nobody wants the magic smoke, or do they? Thank for another fun video.😂
