How Things Work : How Is Electricity Generated?

[bernzeppi]

This must be aimed at primary school kiddies.

I built my first radio transmitter (amongst other things) at 13.

[anidujjudina12345]

@bernzeppi weldone however something that takes longer to lear is how yo humble yourseelf and not to look down on other people :)

[bernzeppi]

@anidujjudina12345 Yeah I do have a problem with that... I apologize.

My only defense is I just got off climate change denier blogs where ignorance is infuriating and I've let it bleed into other more altruistic endeavors.

I'll try and be more careful my fury isn't bestowed upon people who don't deserve it.

Ta.

induction of a metal (metal is likely to release electrons) in a magnetic field will create a flow of electrons in the metal (electricity)

[makeiteasyable]

thanks for sharing this

[livedandletdie]

0:40 No you're not smarter than me. Smartness is not measured in either IQ or knowledge it's measured in how well you can handle information. Aluminum isn't the name for aluminium in the USA it's still aluminium. They haven't checked their dictionaries yet. And if someone really wanted to know how electricity is generated they should study physics in school. And last but not least electricity is generated by changes of electrons in matter.

[camperkala]

@livedandletdie taking things a little personally?

[TheRunescapeforever]

Lol hold down 6

[COOLVIDEOWATCHER13]

soo gay and boring

[ottomoen]

@COOLVIDEOWATCHER13 I can't wait until humanity delves down into darkness either ;) 

[BobDiNoto]

I would like to speak with Steve about specific generation of electricity using permanent magnets and coils... I can not find an email address for Steve... Mine is : RGDSr@juno.com

[sphinxart]

What if one used the natural opposing forces of two permanent magnets to move the copper wire through the field, then you wouldn't need the electromagnets? Surely?

[baeronautics]

@dpattiris you can say nothing because the amount generated would be so little that it wouldnt power anything

[DjGisME]

I didn't know about aluminium wire. Is it more efficient through it's weight?

[1892839389482908424]

@DjGisME no. because their is such of a charge, the electricity wont be able to get through

[barmyflash]

@DjGisME Yes, aluminium can conduct electricity.The atomic number of aluminium is 13. Its electronic configuration is 2,8,3.The last three electrons are free to move within the metal.

[livedandletdie]

@barmyflash In reality Aluminium is a metal with many interesting properties it's diamagnetic which hardly many metals are it can form a superconductor at 1.2Kelvin it has many fun properties and it is highly reactive.

[Tyronedl2]

@dpattiris nothing happens, it must move thats the point.

Nice presentation, to simplistic tho. Generators don't have magnets, they have coils, to create magnetic field and those are powerd by diesel generators.

[surferboy36O]

@Tyronedl2 And what do the diesel generators use: magnets!

[kamikazeboy123]

can i use as small as 9 cm rod magnets to generate electricity????

[heartlessvietboy]

I want to go to school. = )

[gowompa315]

Thank you for taking the time to explain how electricity is generated... Do you have a video that further explains "armature"?

[dg964awd]

we are bored at the tehnologie class and we can`t understand a damn thing because we don`t have any sound in conclusion these video is lame

[jef2907]

May I ask a question? Normal Eeectricity only come from the magnets? I mean those around industrialized town.

I know you can produce electricity with coals.

[Tyronedl2]

@jef2907 you can produce electricity with water or light. Coal is used to heat up the water, to get steam, which runs steam turbine. Magnetic field (not necessarily a magnet, can be a coil) is just one step in the process of getting electricity

[oogle78]

Yes i am learning >:D

[hunterziegelmann]

I just saw one of those youtube commercials and it was some old lady calling somebody a prostitute... None-The-Less i'm fairly certain it was for pasta?

[OpTicSights]

lol yur in a room with the camera guy lol you could atleast being teaching a class !!!!

[foxtuner1993]

@OpTicSights

why is that? He is teaching me... Lol, thats really funny lol, I can't breath by lol!...Smartass

[bicnarok]

And where do the electromagnets get their electricity from, and doe they give out more than the powers used to keep them magnetised?

[bicnarok]

Where do the permanent magnest come from

[ActiveStorage]

@bicnarok they dont know. they like to say it comes from the "orientation" of molecules in the magnet which if u really think about it doesnt explain shit.

Its so funny when you finally realize that today's sciences dont know shit about such fundamental concepts like "mass" "charge" or "spin" yet we build rockets, supercomputers, construct matter on a nano-scales and play around with living cells. ridiculous

[pokeywoop]

@ActiveStorage Tr0l0l0l0l what a tr0l0l0l0l

[ActiveStorage]

@pokeywoop say again

[jimbobklyn1963]

wasn't this guy in the Sex Pistols?

[bicnarok]

@jimbobklyn1963 yep the drummer:)

[manolitomulat]

it still needs a generator...this is a very helful video..very informative

[lvngdead]

good handwriting

[briannaxbatman]

Thanks a bunch for this. :D Explained it better than half the stuff I had to read.

[bnladen09]

thank you sir for your video..yeah that's electromagnetisme but we can also generate electricity by thermoelectricity by the temperature deference between two spaces..can you make a video to explain how it works ?

thank you

[blueshift314]

@bnladen09 that doesn't create electricity directly. what that does is it is made to spin the armature through the magnetic field and that is what creates the electricity. what you are talking about converts heat energy into kinetic energy which in turn converts into electricity through the process i mentioned

[sucksqueezebangblow]

and when you spin a generator backwards it turns into aaaaa ?

[zeroamith]

hi nice video. thank u so much.......

[ABCba5tard]

he prononce aluminum funny

[littlec916]

@ABCba5tard he actually pronounces it correctly. look up the spelling of the word. its actually "aluminium" and not "aluminum". americans say it wrong.

[ABCba5tard]

@littlec916 yep ur right

[ElectricSmell]

@ABCba5tard It's spelled aluminium, hence the pronunciation. Americans seem to pronounce it by missing the 2nd 'i' in the word!?

[irooni100]

Thanks for the Video. certainly this Fellow is doing fine job by teaching us all some thing that may help us some day. and it is better for all of us to LEARN ,some thing than Simply WASTE our time watching other Ignorant Videos.

[funwidude]

Barrett commercial b4 vid......disgusting scum.

[MrImthe1]

good vdo. really nice.

[noir0222]

yeap i'm ready for my free energy now

[izilla]

How do you figure how much electricity will be generated?

[brycekworth]

Thanks so much! This is nice and simple.

[cherryxoxo12]

thank you so much i have exams and i need to know all of this this is so good

[Jmanga43]

Great videos i now have finally found a person who makes videos for us, people who are intrested in how things function

[tonydeadlock]

... ok so what moves the wire i understand that the wire picks up the electricity and carrys it to the machine but y does the wire move n what makes it move

[rottenpancakes]

@tonydeadlock Wind and water etc makes the wire move. You can move it yourself if you wish, but you will get tired pretty fast.

[dan020350]

So that is how electricity and magnetism work together and thus becomes 1 of 4 forces of nature, someone 's theory.

[dan020350]

I felt you don't learn this in college, thank you youtube.

[Hodak55]

Yea... I want to know how electricity works, and i want an video that is appropiate for an 11 year old. Does anyone know that kind of video or site? I went to how stuff works and learnt a bit, but i still dont fully understand.

[dan020350]

@Hodak55 Check out some of my favorites on electricity and magnets.

[Hodak55]

Could you please link it? Beacuse you got many videos on your favorites list.

[dan020350]

@Hodak55 Because the explanations and examples are are diverse its hard for me. But check out the skeptic Youtube user Desertphile, who supplies the explanation to victims of falling into the pranks by the perpetual motion community on magnets. "Seek and you shall find" :)

[brd1243]

he is the best . thank you

[pixiedust838]

wow. i actually felt like i was in class !

[sheldo25]

yes u would actually receive a large enough volt to kill yourself

is there anything this guy doesnt know?

[matlm]

So if I take two magnets and move a wire through it, will i get electrocuted?

[XboxNerd08]

not so.... only micro volts will be generated via one wire passing though magnetic field with no amperes

[Kempter1]

no you retard

[paulmedy]

this guy knows how to teach !!!!!!!!!

[libertarianPinoy]

very very cool, I wish he was my highschool teacher.

Now how do we make an electric generator? : ) What parameters do we have to consider if we want to achieve a certain voltage and ampere?

[abo133780]

well both voltage and ampere depends on the length of the wire, the power of the magnetic field and how fast he moves the wire.
