If Electroboom has taught me anything it's what a Full Bridge Rectifier does.
-
If only there was someone on YouTube with a passion for full bridge rectifiers
-
I had one of those levitating desk toys growing up. Mine had LEDs built in that were driven by the spinning of the toy, so it never needed batteries and would illuminate with bright red stripes when spun. The setup you've engineered is pretty awesome!
-
wow this video alone taught me exactly how an alternator generates electricity and how a rectifier can make direct current.
-
I am starting to think Tom is obsessed with flywheels
-
I can never hear the term 'full bridge rectifier' without hearing electroboom say it in my head
-
I wish this video was available, when I studied electrical engineering. It would have made understanding the concept a lot easier. This is hands down the best explanation of how a full bridge rectifier works, I've have seen. It's rare to see someone who can simplify things so that they are understandable yet not simplified so far that they are essentially wrong. Great job.
-
Thanks for really explaining how it all works, electricity has always been that thing I just assume about until it makes sense. Nice to see it so clearly and simply
-
The good stuff is called “turned ground and polished”. It’s high quality, exact measurement on the o.d., steel rod. Try that for your axis.
-
The word "Full bridge rectifier" needs a little more emphasis.

In 1995, I was a young "lad" just visiting a foreign country (England, London) for the first time, and wouldn't you know, the device displayed @ 1:38 had me captivated. I was only 15, but between this device and some lego's before a trip to Bath... amazing life experience. My grandmother took me and for some odd, but likely predictable reason, this kind of video triggers in me a great sense of appreciation. I wish you the best Tom. Lots of love and admiration for your efforts. I just hope you spend a fraction of a time wondering what some of your viewers have experienced... because it's pretty damn amazing to share these kinds of experiences.

This is the first time I've gotten full clarity on a full bridge rectifier, you've earned my follow

When he showed the diodes. I was already waiting for "FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER !!!"

To straighten a shaft in a lathe : spin at around 500rpm. Start with about a hands width protruding from the chuck. Check for wobble and pull the bar towards you. You will feel the bar vibrate as you pull the bar past centre slightly. Do it the right amount and you will overcome the tensile strength of the material just enough for it to remain on center. Pull the rod out another hands width and repeat. Always check by rolling the bar on a known flat surface. Wet hands for extra lubrication.
-
Love it, you made an easy to understand flywheel mechanical battery and by levitating it you decrease the maintenance cost (lubrication) and reduce the friction.
-
Very nice concept. I must say, your explanation on how alternator work is the best I have heard so far.
-
Unitl you said "desk toy" I absolutly waited for you to explain, how you'll integrate all that in your bike! :D
-
"This method of levitation was heavily inspired by this small toilet I bought off Amazon."
-
Blowing my mind one video a t a time. Well done sir, true inspiration for me!
-
Tom, This is the best video I've ever seen. Your entire presentation and explanations at each step are spot on and easy to understand. Great job keep up the good work.
