Shouldn't take that long considering recycled content, this video starts in another video of yours "Capacitors Explained - The basics how capacitors work working principle" starting at the 27 second mark. Kinda disappointed I really liked this channel but tired of seeing the same videos as they get shorter and less detailed because they are pulled from previous videos and being cut down

[@akaycod4753]

⭕ bobrn bunk bunk bb ka ek hiss liya h jb bj bj b 😮iii

[@Chris-nd8hd]

as an engineering student, this channel is a gold mine

[@kingeezy13]

As an Electrical Engineer. This channel is a great reference.

[@maswarservis]

That's right

[@luisitoduenas1010]

I want to be an EE

[@caltreloar9328]

As an electrical engineer you shouldn't be watching videos called what is a capacitor hehe

[@iwuvu5940]

I’m glad I found this guy

[@daarom3472]

as a capacitor it's great to finally get some recognition.

[@aaronalquiza9680]

as a beginner in electronics, i love the small bits of easily digestible concepts. thank you!

[@KastaRules]

It is is incredible how you manage to explain complex subjects in a very quick and simple way. Thank you!

[@danielsau7599]

So nice to have these quick informative videos that remind you stuff from time to time. Thanks a lot for the work

[@TyphonNeuron]

These short videos are so good, clear, concise. Thanks.

[@AnthonyRose]

I recently started restoring pinball machines. Your channel is a great reference for me if I need a refresher on circuitry components. Thank you!

[@blister762]

We could have used KZbin back early in my military days learning electronics. You teach at a level a grunt can understand. And I ain't gonna lie you're reviving my interest in electronics that I lost a few decades ago. Good job. I haven't check every video but do you cover Ohms law and filters like a band pass?

[@gsmeeuwsen]

Nice job, Sir! Love your videos!

[@walmartnibba4726]

big help. currently learning the basic of AC power and capacitors have been my enemy. This video really helped explain some of the gaps in knowledge I had

[@brandonfarfan1978]

Nice explanation on capacitors. Thanks.👍

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Thankyou for this video. It's informative and answers questions.

[@maswarservis]

Very important information. Thank you for sharing

[@VectorGameStudio]

I love the short, packed videos

[@MDMAx]

One of these days I expect the Engineering Mindset to make a shortest video possible: "Today we're going to learn nothing. Ok guys, that's it for this video, continue learning or check out our previous video and I'll see you in the next one."

[@EngineeringMindset]

I'm busy building a 2,000 sq.ft studio workshop, so I've had someone chop some clips and schedule them to keep the KZbin algorithm gods happy. We'll be back with some new long form content in the new year. I already have two completed and waiting to publish

[@MDMAx]

@@EngineeringMindset i was just joking around. You could make such a short video for April fools day :)

[@rafaldo2459]

I thought the short video format was great. A quick insight into a topic, easy to digest. I found it very practical. Thanks for helping me wrap my head around this.

[@matanpazi3777]

Nice video, would've been interesting to see a few other examples, such as the capacitor in series etc.

[@redbumbabboon1]

This is a short video he has a longer version explaining charge and discharge.

[@CalleJonte]

Very well made videos from a learning perspective! If I in sound engineering want to try and get rid of noise while building a electric circuit, could I first add a component (that wich turns off the flow when it increases(forgot the name, sorry)) and then add a capacitor? Or would there be problems with cut off in sound signal? Loss of musical information?

[@redox3551]

Can we please get a detailed explanation of universal motors next? Thank you for your efforts.

[@terebiomimasu]

Awesome.

[@AnasAl-Dhafiri]

Thank you sir

[@scootergirl3662]

Thanks to this channel and other like channels on KZbin, I don’t have to shell out money for another degree, but this time in electrical engineering

[@invokerkichu2429]

Hey bro.... Can you please do a video on how a welding machine works and what are its principles?

[@Speedblur_]

This video was short and i know that the youtube algorithm is fucked for that (or at least was) but this actually helped me prove a point quick and easy. Thank you.

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🤶 The Engineering Mindset My teacher Thank you From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

Merry Christmas, Nick!

[@rassimsimou1594]

Good

[@alienvaigyanik5470]

Sunder sir

[@marcthenarc868]

Got to admit that your videos about LEDs were much longer than that and they're, well, LEDs. A few examples on using a capacitor wouldn't hurt.

[@EngineeringMindset]

We have sooo many videos on capacitors already. Please see our channel content

[@marcthenarc868]

@@EngineeringMindset Understood.

[@YouTubeviolatesmy1stamendment]

A capacitor stores electrical energy all right that's it for this video

[@impossible_._tech866]

Bro please tell about how the electric rice cooker works

[@raffymcfee9846]

then what is the microfarad something in them?

I see.. so that's why my travel adapter light still turns on for a while after I unplugged it 🤔

[@minteinvention4928]

Please 🙏🥺🙏🥺 integrated circuit to make

[@EngineeringMindset]

Please see our other videos

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

But you didn't say they are used as a filter also.

[@rupalinath4627]

Please any one tell me the meaning of polarising

[@EngineeringMindset]

A magnet is polarised, North and south. Electrons are negative so they collect on one side creating a negative and positive polarity

[@shaiksafwan3062]

Thanks blud

[@tomhc3570]

Sounds like you're saying capasta or capassa 😂 Maybe an accent thing, good vids tho very clear

[@swagmanexplores7472]

I have the capacity to contemplate the capacitance of a capacitor 🤔

[@pdempsey]

What's the difference between a tone pot and a volume pot on an electric guitar? Ask for a friend.

[@eatxmyxcake4642]

I have a TV that won’t power on, but when I use a hair dryer on the capacitor for a few minutes it will start up. Why is this?

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

heat

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

This video saved my $60k .... Found a bad capacitor in my car, changed it out and now it started up and i don't have to buy a new car

[@petraspetraitis3355]

Well in my words a capacitor would be an alarm clock for EE's. Or an explosive device. (That's a joke warning for those whom don't understand ones)

[@magicbox9371]

No explanation of how to charge

[@arielmario3132]

Hello, good afternoon, your videos are excellent. I would like if you could please make a 3D video of how an analog ESR meter works on capacitors circuit, thank you very much.
