The value of this channel is unbelievable. I learned more in 6 minutes than during 5 hours of reading. Amazing, thank you.

Thanks KyleCarrington

You have a very "art of electronics" practical way of explaining electronics, that is very rare these days. Contemporary EE instruction (that I have taken) is all theory and math leading nowhere. Keep up the great work!

Rick,

As usual, terrific demo. Very clear. They keep getting better and better. Thanks, my friend.

Like many have acknowledged, you have a great gift of teaching by "doing and showing". Somehow this sort of transferring knowledge is very rare these days. Although I have studied much of these in college, you bring this down to earth to even those who may not have any theoretical background in EE.

Admire your style and the content of your vid and of course thanks to Google for providing the platform to share such fine work of passion. BTW are you still a practicing EE?? just curious!

Nice demonstration Rick. There’s so much good stuff on your channel I think we need an index to find our way around.

Well done, again.

The higher Beta means it takes less signal to achieve an output level. The Betas used in this example may have been to far apart to show what you were expecting to see. Also these two transistor are by different manufactures, so the Beta is not the only difference in specifications. You are not thinking wrong.

Thank you. One question, I know you have a lot so don't feel forced to answer. Why didn't we see a much higher output with the higher beta transistor? The wave forms, once biased correctly, seemed to have similar output. Was this just the test setup, and it could have been pushed to show a higher output that other lower beta one would show clipping at? Or do I just not understand that part of it, wich is VERY possible.
