Dave attempts to give the low-down on different capacitor types in under 10 minutes, can he do it? (Hint - Dave likes to waffle...)

  • I seriously love your educational videos.

    You really knows what you are talking about, it's so rare to hear videos like this.

  • @Bracerjack Thanks. Hopefully more tutorial videos to come.

  • Are there labels on electrolyte capacitors to tell neg from pos polarity? Can you tell which side is which just by looking at where the wires go?

  • @spelunkerd Yes, all electro's should have a negative marking.

  • You'd be good on a childrens show because of your voice :p

  • @NawnExistent I'll take that as a complement!

see all

  • "Crikey, look at that capacitor over there! Today, we are going into the capacitor's territory, but you better be careful they can be aggressive and HUGE!." You are the crocodile hunter version for electrical engineering. I'd watch your shows if it was on T.v.

  • @lesterliston27 watch part two

    watch?v=TDDoi70cxw0&feature=re­lmfu

  • Ceramics????????????

    

  • Thank you for making this video, I don't know much about electronics/circuits, but I love to learn about them... excellent job... CHEERS!

  • Excellent tutorial on capacitors. Thanks!

  • great vid as always the question we all want to know gigabyte or asus?

  • Thnx for educateing us :) Sub + Thumbs up only.

  • Love the video - but are you able to do a demonstration with a simple circuit? I have no knowledge of circuitry or basic electronics but I'm learning on You Tube! Would it work on a simple magnetic generator - the one that lights up a LED? I'm trying to keep the LED working for longer when the magnet stops moving and hoped the capacitor may store some of the generated electric. Would it work?

  • good job mate hope more from you

  • necessary evil
