Finally! I found a video that thoroughly and completely explains commutators! They've always been the one thing keeping me from understanding how DC electric motors and generators work! Now i finally understand! Thank's Edison Tech Center, you rock!

This is the BEST video on AC and DC. Any video that is better is about the Band!

That was explained really well. Thanks!

Definitely the best video on AC but wtf at 1:58

8 hours of research vs a 4 minute video 4 minute video wins

Have been studying a distance learning course trying to understand this from illustrations for over an hour and this just taught me simply in minutes! Thanks!!!!!!!

Great Video! I was always under the impression that generators generated AC voltage. This video finally cleared me of that notion. Now, to understand self-excited vs separately-excited generators and their application.

My physics teacher showed this to us in class and I asked her what video this was because it was such a good explanation. She never gave me the link, so today I spent an hour trying to find it. It is the best explanation I've seen, so thanks!

Excellent information one of the best tutorials. I love the old school videos.

Finally, a great short video explaining this!

I just want to appreciate this mannn.. THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO FOR THIS CONCEPT I HAVE SEEN TILL DATE..... 👌👌

Thanks , this was the only video through I understood the movement of Ac and DC , otherwise I was fully confused , this is the best video of Generators , and I have liked this videos and will share to my friends also

It explains in terms of the coil cutting lines of flux. Good idea to keep things simple!

Best explination out there, Masive time saver!!

1:57 well that's me scarred for life

This vid has finally made me understand ac and dc current flow., thanks .

such an easy-to-understand explanation, thank you T_T wish all my lecturers were like this..

Thanks alot We really want such method to understand. God bless you

Best explanation I have ever witnessed in this topic.

simple and brief. thank you so much.

Awesome how he explained it in an easy too understand way . How come it took me so long to get this simple principle ???

great vid mate! ty alot! helped me out

Best Way of explanation I ever saw.....

U ARE LEGEND THANSKS A LOT GUYS IT HELPED MEH UNDERSTAND THANKS!!!!! :)

best video with best explanation

Amazing video - Thank you so much!

Explained very nicely and simple way can be understood easily

Brilliant video! Very special thanks

thank you so much.. definitely the best video on ac and dc :) thaaaanks

well I'll be got damn if this hasn't been the best video I have ever seen in my life! And it's just a simple explanation... wow.... lol...

It's a mime, it doesn't speak, and we don't speak about it.

I found the perfect video. Thnak you!

Excellent video! I'm off to the site for more insight!

This was really helpful!

Perfect, Thanks a lot.

A very nice video to understand the difference between A.C AND D.C

the only video that finally got to me understand this

Great explanation, Thank you

Amazingly explained

oh lord best video to explain ac n dc differently

great video ! Thank you

Well hot damn learn something new every day. I was just curious what the hell those spring things pressed up against in the motor.

Great video!

very educative thank you.

EXCELLENT VIDEO .

Lmao, I haven't been able to understand this for like 2 years and now I suddenly get it

0:34 good detail making flow of electrons opposite to the direction conventional electric flow, many people overlook this

Thanks a bunch!!

Thanks ....finally i understood

Dr Stone brought me here Learning so much!

nice video.😌😌Thank you.

Very very useful and understanding

The best ever!

Best to understand...

Excellent job

the best video. but sir u should clarify about the connection of wires with the split rings

really helpful video🤗

Thanks a lot I understood it

Nice Explanation

awsome. special thanks

Great animation about alternating current. Of course it was produced in the name of Edison, King of Direct Current and electrocutor of animals.

one more question, why there is a need to have the split in the commutator? is it to separate momentarily the opposite electrons flow between the coil and the external circuit? thanks in advance, your reply would be appreciated

I love this video

really helpful

Very good sir.

The easiest explanation ever.

finally i understand the difference between AC & DC generator.

What a genius

Thank You :)

superb sir Thank you

nice work

Thank you so much

Thankyou somuch brother this video helped me somuch😁😊 May you always follow GOD's guidance 😁😊

Very useful one

awesome animation

Great video that you have showed me expect the clown that was smiling... (shivers!!)

thanks !

any one can help me why at this position(vertical position of the conductor) conduct parallel to the field lines

I have sat in the same spot for hours i hope this one helps, will update fo sure

ur killin me smalls

It's awesome

Does this mean that commutators are only required in Electric Motors that work by the use of direct current?

Very nice

Since both commutator segments are really close together, why doesn’t the magnetic flux influence the flow of the current? In which case it’ll still remain an AC.

thanks a lot

Great sir

thank you

Nice video 😌 👍

Really ,, thanks alot ^_^

Very useful vedio

PLEASE somebody answer me If the current direction changes, shouldn't that mean that the direction of the coil rotation changes too? i got this paragraph from bbc bitesize When the coil is vertical, it moves parallel to the magnetic field, producing no force. This would tend to make the motor come to a stop, but two features allow the coil to continue rotating: the momentum of the motor carries it on round a little a split-ring commutator changes the current direction every half turn Once the conducting brushes reconnect with the commutator after a half turn: current flows in the opposite direction through the wire in the coil each side of the coil is now near the opposite magnetic pole This means that the motor effect forces continue to cause anticlockwise rotation of the coil.

how comutator changes AC into DC ? could you explain please.

4 minute video beat a whole semester of schooling...

1:58 Joker is watching u O.o

I am so very very confused. What compels that rotor to move within the field, and how are those rings completing that circuit without touching the wires connected to the bulb?

how do i download these videos?

But how does the aperture move?

tnx a lot

At 1:04 he says conductor is parallel to the field But isn't it at time perpendicular to it I am confused

commutator / split ring is ........a mechanical rectifier....... BING !!! light bulb!!! I get it now thanks !!
