What Parts Fail and Why Part 1

I am excited to collaborate with Dr. Peter Jones of Electromagnetic Videos in this 2 part video series on what parts fail and why. In this video I discuss some failures of devices that I have seen and the components that actually failed in them. Then Dr. Jones will discuss why manufacturers don't make things that last longer so be sure to check out his video also. We also cover when most items fail and if in fact that extended warranty is even worth it. It is so neat to be able to have great discussions and collaborate with the brilliant Dr. Jones. I live in Georgia (US) and Dr. Jones lives in Canada so this may be as close as we get to meeting in person, but this project was a lot of fun to work on and help put together.
Hope you find these videos interesting and Thanks so much for watching!

Phillip, it was a pleasure and great fun working with you on these two joint videos! I think our slightly different perspectives on things failing really complemented each other. Your real world examples really bring theory to reality! Thanks for all you hard work on this video! -Peter (from 1000 miles North of you!)

Thanks so much for all the work you put into this. It was an absolute pleasure and fun 1000 miles down south also!!

Great video. I like the collaboration

[@patrickcardon1643]

You can add the old favourite, the RIFA, to the list 😁

Capacitors and diodes. Sometimes a transistor but rarely. Electrolytic caps ?? They scare me when I'm concentrating and that loud pop! Lol 😂. Cheers from Australia 👍
