Thank you so much for watching. These kinds of videos are my favorite! I am so happy to be working with Kiwi Co on this. It would be a big help if you supported the channel by visiting their website, and trying a crate or two! Your family will love it, and it is 20% off www.kiwico.com/JeremyFielding

I'm an electrical engineer and I know this stuff ... but I watch cause I love the way you explain it ... you are a very good teacher!

The older I get, the more I think, "Damn, to think think I'm getting this for free while I'm aware of the price that people paid for this knowledge." Thank you Jeremy for sharing more valuable info with us while demonstrating to us your wonderful family. The combination uplifts my spirits.

If all families had parents that engage, inspire and interact with their children like you and your lovely wife, the world would have no problems. Great video - great family - great teacher: thank you, sir!

regarding "is it a short?": when you first apply a voltage to the coil, its inductance impedes the flow of current. As time goes on, that affect reduces until only the resistance of the coil is relevant. If the coil is long enough, and the wires thin enough, that resistance can be high enough to safely connect across your voltage source. If the coil is too short or has wires that are too thick, that resistance can be low enough that it will try to pull too much current from the voltage source. If your coil is short enough or has thick enough wires, you can reasonably argue that the result is a short circuit. This is why solenoid controllers exist. The controller may need to reduce the voltage given to the coil after it is initially switched to prevent excessive current draw.

"if you want somebody to be interested in something, you have to inspire curiosity" amen to that sir! Great video Jeremy, thanks for sharing.

Your wife's reaction to being filmed was heartwarming! You're the best Jeremy.

Probably the most in-depth, single sitting, instruction I’ve ever received for relays. This may as well have been a 1-2 hour class anywhere else.

great video i hope ur kid know how lucky they are to have you teaching them this stuff i love how happy ur wife got with clamp beautiful family

I came for the knowledge but left with relationship goals... on top of knowledge. You seem to have a wonderful family! Oh, man I get to touch the thing that say "don't touch"?! #disbelievinggrin That cracked me up!

Jeremy, you're a treasure. Like Destin Sandlin, Mark Rober and others, you create content that both informs and entertains like few others are able. Thanks for sharing your family in this video. You're definitely a very fortunate man, husband and father. In addition to contactors and relays (including solid state), a good follow-on to this video might feature MOSFETs and transistors. In addition to activating and switching currents, viewers should consider cycle life and parasitic draw of all these switches; especially in battery systems (which make up much of my applications).

This channel restores my faith back in humanity.

Loved this video. "SO" well explained! THANK YOU for the effort and time you put into this wonderful content brother!

Beautiful wife and family! You're definitely blessed my friend.

Thanks for relaying all this information! [Groan] 🙄

You should make some merch!! The Fielding logo would look sick on stickers, shirts and etc!!!

That is the absolute best. "So what did you want to film?" 'I just did.' Thank you for sharing this light and touching moment. Very cool and funny. Great Job!

I'm getting to the point in my electrical career where the concepts are intertwining and I can better describe how an electrical system works. You've helped do that for me. Thank you.

Dude, you have got to be by far one of my favorite channels to watch on KZfaq . You know ur stuff so well and I can tell you love learning and teaching, you are an amazing teacher because it’s obvious that to truly love ur craft and love to share it with others, i too love this craft or what I call an “Art form” because of the limitless amount of creativity possible. I learn and do more and more every day with the help of your channel. You are immensely talented and inspirational. I love that you are continuously learning new things all the time yourself and never treat your audience like they’re stupid for not understanding something right off the bat, instead you take your time and make sure to break it down explain things in great detail with visual representation throughout the entire educational process. You are undoubtedly bettering yourself and the world, and not to mention your incredibly humble and passionate and patient, not to mention just seem to be genuinely a good person who is real AF. You explain everything so well and I find you beyond inspiring. Thank you for all the time and hard work your put into your videos and craft. I / we/ the world… is so lucky to live in a time where content like your channel is available 24-7 all day every day for FREE! If that an’t some amazingly dope shit I don’t know what is. Anyways man, keep it up dogg your a true G. I’ll stay watching, stay inspired, and stay learning from you as long as you do! Thanks again - SHMIKEDOGG

Hi jeremy, ive been watching your videos for quite a long time and just realized ive never left any comments so i would like you to know that i thoroughly enjoy your teachings and how your family seems to enjoy all the things you do just makes my heart smile lol. Thank you for all that you do

You are so good at explaining things. Lightbulbs were going off constantly in my head. Thank you so much!

Boy has that lad got a super future with a dad like you

2:20 Jeremy Fielding: "imagine having a switch like *this* on your dashboard" Colin Furze: Who needs imagination when you have reality?

OMG! At 41yrs old, I finally have a way to remember Normally Closed Vs Open. Your room and door analogy is genius!!!

MAN! I do not subscribe to anyone on youtube. I don't feel like 99% of the channels are going to have enough quality content to be worth my time. You sir have an excellent way of conveying information that is attention grabbing and super informative. Thank you and keep it up. I look forward to seeing your videos as they are released as a subscriber.

My teacher played this video for class and I'm so glad. Your video has been the easiest for me to understand and helped me get some motivation again. Thank you! 😊 PS your wife is so precious and beautiful! Her chairs came out awesome 👌

What a great and straight forward teacher! much love from an electrical apprentice/ tinkerer

This guy is a great teacher, and more importantly shows us that he is a good husband and father. Keep inspiring young minds man. Thanks for donating your time to teaching others all while being a great example.👍

I love hearing people explain how things work . Especially folks like this who actually know what they are talking about. Thank you. You doing a good thing.

I love your down to Earth and simple explanations. Even your sponsor was perfect for the environment your inspire with your family. Thank you.

You're such an amazing educator. This was a better explanation than I've had in high school and junior college electronics classes I paid for. Keep going, you've got a talent.

This guy is a great father, I can tell. Thank you for your good energy!

Only 2 minutes in and I know I am hooked on your teaching style Jeremy

it's awesome to see a dad bring the whole family together on projects. Very inspiring...well done sir!

Very well structured and presented! You are a natural instructor, teacher, mentor! A group of kids at the place you worship would love to have you teach them to build a crystal radio and then a one transistor radio and.... I was one of those kids and a mentor like you (Claude Meskal)was a huge positive influence in my life and career. All the best to you and the family my good neighbor!

You have no idea how happy seeing you and your family teach me things so deftly. Thanks brother.

Jeremy does a good job of breaking down the mechanics of things so that anyone can understand. And he seems like a great guy. So much enthusiasm for what he does. He would be the best neighbor to have. I could hang with him in his shop all day long.

"I can't describe a short circuit, but i know it when I see it." Great video, relays are an awesome electrical component, very important, they're everywhere.

King, this video is soooooo good and necessary! I Learned alot in a short time, I am in industrial maintenance and want to get more into electrical and motor controls..You and you're family are inspiring. Thank you.

Thank you my brother. Your dynamic insight on contactors and relays has educated me and assisted me trouble shooting at work.

I don't know what to say! You are really a natural teacher. How did I le'arn more from your video! Well here I go binging again!!

(You just secretly filmed me?!) I love you. That exchange was precious. Thank you for clearing up relays, that was awesome... And I totally understand now how to incorporate one into my solar charged battery and inverter powered boat air conditioning system. Cheers!

love how you have your whole family involved in your projects! im in hvac school and your videos help alot- thank you!!!

Don't think you all know everything. I've been working on electronics, robotics, home electrical, HVAC, and I've had my ASE certifications as an automotive technician for 36 years. Jeremy has taught me things that I didn't even know until I started watching his channel. This guy is fantastic. Don't ever think you know everything, because if you keep an open mind, and stop thinking you're the best thing since sliced bread, you'll realize that there's plenty more things to learn out there.😎👍💯

Man that shop dust collection system that uses the tools' power to activate the corresponding solenoid is ingenious. You are the man!

This video reminded me that one of the first "toys" i remember was a 4 pole single trow relay. My dad brought it home from work and i spent hours and hours playing with it, taking it apart and putting it back together. (Mostly unscrewing the screws and screwing them back in😅. The screws couldn't fall out, so it was child friendly)

I sure hope that you're a teacher, because I always learn things when I watch your videos! Keep up the great work!

I already know this stuf but your explantation are so simple an organised!! Every school should have a teacher like you!

EE student here! currently a sophomore, thanks for inspiring me to continue learning more and more.

I have been watching your videos for a while. I forwarded this one to my son that is stationed in Okinawa with the Marines. I wanted him to understand what I'm talking about concerning some of the mods I'm putting on the truck, and an older RV; how they work. I think it is FANTASTIC that you are trying to pass on your passion for learning electrical and mechanical principles to your family. My older son completed his Advanced Machinery / Computer Aided Manufacturing certification at 14. The younger one is a different story, heading towards A+ certification. Blessings!

Wonderful channel! Amazing guy who explains the proper way for just about anyone to understand in lemmings terms! Almost forgot.... Great DAD he is. Sincerely Marek and family

a sign of humility ...... "in here is where all the action happens" 17:10 all the action happens in the heart and soul of one Jeremy fielding .... if you want proof that what i am saying is true ...... a family that creates together ...... 22:37

You are the best, the only channel I watch asap. This could be three different videos but in particular, if you could pull out your Amazing Randi meets engineer segment, we could get it up voted and do some good. Thanks either way, you are a great teacher.

You’re a good Dad and family man which is so important. Also you’re knowledge of electronics is awesome. Thank you for this tutorial.

I wish they would show this on tv as an example on both parenting and how to get kids off screens. You just go there and parent them. You're a great dad!

I just fell in love with this engineer! You can see the excitement in his eyes as he explains this stuff and every concept is explained and integrated sequentially. I could have watched this video with no prior knowledge and come out being able to teach this stuff. Really really impressive Sir Fielding! :D Thank you!! My only prior knowledge was about the electromagnets lol

You are a good teacher, today is my first time seeing you chanel. Very interesting. I feel like flying. Thank you very much for this wonderful show.

curiosity is great but i like the way you make complicated systems or concepts simple

Great video Jeremy. Brushing my old degree off after spending time in unrelated field. Engineering is my passion. Thank you so much.

You and your wife look so happy together, consider yourself a lucky man!

The problem with trying to learn about technology is the presentation. This video was clear, simple, and had great examples. Now I've got to watch them all...

What a beautiful family you have sir. I love the way you tap into your children's natural curiosity and fun loving nature.

Thank you for contacting us through this video. It's great to relay information to others for the greater good of all. You help to actuate the minds of us all!

Wow, you've got power man! What a thoughtfully delivered message and on top of that an ad that is enticing and doesn't grind your ears red 👏🏼 Just discovered your channel and enjoying every bit of it.

You are the dad I want to be, thanks for inspiring me!

She is priceless…you two are. Thanks for bringing her in on this video. I find the information on relays to be just what I need today as I need a shut off switch for a VFD I added to a 2 horse 220 volt grinder. Jeremy to the rescue! I know I need a relay to control the larger switch. Thank you my friend.

Jeremy I admire you dedication to the electric field and how you get your family envolve. Hope you are teaching to youngster. Congratulations.

Not short circuit. It's a Load. Impedance of the wire is controlling the Current flow. Coil Resistance impedes the current flow. Limiting said current. Do I get a Gold Star ?

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SIR. I watch a LOT of sponsored content on you tube but i dont watch a lot of the portion where the sponsors get their say in, i.e. the part where the influencer (thats you) says their advertising schpeel. BUT i did watch you talk about kiwico, and didnt even know it till it was done. I mean, sure..i heard you say that you were excited about your sponsor, but then i got caught up in what you were saying, how you said it and the fact your family unit was featured in it and i must say that you did a great job. What? did you think you were about to read a rant? some negative troll based opinionated lecture? I used a technique that i have used for a long time to get and hold your attention... its a little trick that i havent seen anyone else do except my mentor and Art teacher from 7-12, and YOU. nice work on the dont touch button... My teacher would write in big letters on the board "DONT READ THIS" and then in between those words he would put the real message. and then really give us the business when we would have to use the info for our project or whatever that would make it clear that we DID read it. Good hearted teasing cn sometimes bolster a shy persons confidence but it takes a master, something i suspect you know as well. Keep up the good work and when i can afford to feed myself AND pay rent again i will definitely patreon you. thanks for being you! beautiful family!

I want to give you thumbs up for your sponsorship. You tie it into what you actually do.... you're not a scruffy guy selling shaving gear... thanks for that.

I looked at your video not to learn how a relay works, which I already knew) , but to see how you explained it in laymen's terms and found your demonstration complete. Thank you.

Mrs. Fielding - "why you gotta mess with me?" Jeremy - "because it's so fun!!" LOL awesome answer!!😜😝😂

I'd love to be this guy's neighbor and nerd out in that garage!

Love that you brought your family in this video, brother.

I feel smarter, and probably am, for having passively played this video. Great explanations with concise communication. No ambiguity.

5:28 Hmm, it looks like there's a lot of wire in that coil; seems more like a long circuit to me :P

15:25 Sneak filming the wife😂💖

I was wondering why the comments were so crazy positive and uplifting, more so than the already happy comments in most engineering channels, then I finished the video. What a great channel. I really like the intro to the Kiwi Co ad. "If you want somebody to be interested in something, you have to inspire curiosity". I've been putting together some Legos and Arduino parts to build some robots with my cousins girls, and this will be a good quote to keep in mind.

Thats awesome everyone showing interest and acknowledge your hard work and creativity ...key to why this man sleeps beautifully at night...your welcome

"No, really. My dog ate my homework!"

5:25 short answer “no”... DC on a coil is a short circuit but the coil has some resistance so no, it isn’t short circuit

Understanding relays better after viewing your vid , also great family interaction Thank you for your part in showing melanated folks like us as normal as any other segment of society.

Simply amazed on how you explain everything, I am a mechanic for 20something years, recently moved to the electrical side of maintenance, thank you for the video.

Is it a short circuit? Technically no, because the coil is acting as an inductor, so the battery's anode is hooked up to a reactive component and not just it's cathode.

This guy is great. He brings excitement and joy to his videos which make them entertaining in addition to educational.

Remarkable timing running across this video! I am building a blacksmith power hammer to be powered by a 2 hp,240v,1ph motor. However, the contractor was damaged as we salvaged the motor & wiring from the wood shaper. Now I can replace it! Awesome as always! Dwayne (central PA)

I can't give this enough up votes. Thank you!

The segway to the ad was so wholesome. This man is very quickly becoming my favorite maker

Wonderful video. Thanks for producing. These videos take huge time and energy and thousands of people enjoy and learn from them-often with no knowledge to the creator… so thank you again. Keep up the great work.

THANK YOU SIR,THIS IS VERY HELPFUL TO ME IN MY FIELD A/C,AS WELL FOR MY KIDS BLESS

you are by far the best youtube engneer there is. like hands down the best.

I love his explanations! Even the commercial was interesting! Immediate subscription!

Beyond your advance knowledge of electrical theory, Your on call knowledge of power control and motor control components, their associated rating, and applicable usage is impressive. Relating parts from everyday house hold items to explain key concepts…These are quality educational videos. I’m a maintenance technician, I work in manufacturing for a company in Texas…the company uses Italian made machinery…terms are different, and upper management and production associates are ESL, these concepts seem to click across all spectrums when electrical control components and systems can be related to things people used in everyday life. Even at the industrial level. Just listing all the ac and dc motors and their controls in a kitchen seems is eye opening to people. Thanks for the video.

Nicely done, I've been involved in electric AC / DC for 60+ years. I found your way of explaining how it works to be 1 of the best, and easy to understand for the novice.

Jeremy, I am impressed that you are helping your family learn and understand these systems that you build. They will be better for it and their life will be richer. I love the look on their face when they use these tools. I have worked with my hands all my life and still do I have been a auto mechanic since I was 14 years old. I still do it today at 62 years old. I worked in a machine shop for over 36 years and finished my career as a Mechanical Engineer. I loved every minute of it. I restore classic cars in my garage and utilize my small machine shop I set up there. Keep up the good work and I will keep learning from you.

You all are so adorable! I'm here because I always learn so much. Watching you and your family is the best, though! Thanks, Jeremy AND family!

wow. You have just demonstrated what we really should be teaching our kids in school... And the way you teach is MAGNIFICENT. All I am seeing lately is teaching children how do judge others... I vote you to head up the nations school system.

Great video. I'm a retired guy taking an apprentice electrician course for my own edification. The course uses Pearson textbooks. Painful. Your video on relays and contactors put the way-to-detailed text into perspective. I also am blessed with three granddaughters, two are of age (5 & 8) who like to do projects. I will shop Kiwico for project gifts. Both their parents are engineers and prefer to have the kids doing thinking projects vice screen time. Thanks!

Your kids do not have idea how lucky they are to have such a inspiring, kind, motivating, patient, and easy to learn from father to teach/educate them. I'm in my early 40's and just love your videos. Thank you so much for your time and expertisee in explaining things so well.

IM WATCHING THIS 2 YEARS AFTER YOU MADE IT BUT YOUR WIFE'S REACTION WAS GREAT WHAT A GOOD SPORT YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME AND TEACH THANK YOU .......
