Flywheel Battery

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!

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.

i'm a bit sad that you didn't use a clip from electroboom for the "FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER"

Unitl you said "desk toy" I absolutly waited for you to explain, how you'll integrate all that in your bike! :D

wow this video alone taught me exactly how an alternator generates electricity and how a rectifier can make direct current.

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.

I am starting to think Tom is obsessed with flywheels

1:38 "This small toilet I bought of Amazon". You can't unhear it now!

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

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

I can never hear the term 'full bridge rectifier' without hearing electroboom say it in my head

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.

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.

Very nice concept. I must say, your explanation on how alternator work is the best I have heard so far.

WOW, that slow motion of alternator powring LED at 11:17 is so SATISFYING to watch!

I'm glad that the captions heard what I did too. "Heavily inspired by this small toilet I bought off amazon"

Thanks, for sharing young man. LOVED, SUBSCRIBED, & DING!!! @13:44 this material is called 80/20 and my boss LOVED it. He made a frame with 80/20 that was 2"x2" and other sizes for a machine that wrapped foam with material that conducts electricity. The newest cell phone, plasma televisions, and even antennas (for GM/NorthStar) use these technologies. Everything needed to make the flexible copper-plated material except the foam was made in-house. Afterward, I was tasked with making maybe30+ more in my six-year stint. They shipped these inexpensive foam wrappers all over the globe. Retired now for 15 years.

Blowing my mind one video a t a time. Well done sir, true inspiration for me!
