Damn I love your videos man, so easy to follow and you make everyday things so fascinating.

i invented a electric car with five wheels, use the fifth wheel as the alternator to recharge the battery but i don’t know if it would turn fast enough 🤔🚗🔋 the alternator would be on the road, it might drag the performance down 😐🤷‍♂️

i subscribed to your channel but i want to ask you something *why and how short circut happen?*

@@DonaldSleightholme better to use connect alternators to the engine instead of using fifth wheel just for that purpose

I'll buy you a couple Starbucks coffee worth if you do basic HVAC ladder diagrams and schematic energized animations. Even a basic HVAC circuit board would greatly help engineers and HVACR tech's alike. Thanks for all your hard work in your videos Paul 🍻

Glad you liked it!

animatated videos are much better than chalk and blackboard

now that's electrical engineering

@@tintinfan007 agree i now fully understand what happens on them besides the fact that they make power. lol

Same. Why you need school when you have “The engineering mindset” KZfaq channel

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, Der Steppenwolf, electricity is BEYOND fun; it is the basis of ALL we see as 'REALITY.'

Yeh more informative than 3 years of electrical engineering that i studied 😝

@@tomboytomgirl5356 Q QQq

Hey man I'm interested in electrical engineering and was just wondering if you had any advice for me. I've never been to college but I'm mechanic apprentice and was also wondering if there is more things to teach myself about electronics in a vehicle.

@iwishtobetexan6060 Well, there is obviously a lot of electronics in vehicles. You can learn about microprocessors, ac/dc motors, transformers, digital circuits, analog circuits, and some of the basic chips and how they are typically used.

but you can't apply for an engineering job with youtube's certificate I'm not an engineer, I do engineering stuff as hobby, that's why I watch this video

And thats why we're all doomed, i would much rather hire someone that seeks knowledge like you instead of yet another bot coming off some college because "he has to" and "engineering" seemed cool

Well I have a masters degree in mech engineering, and I still watch these videos to gain practical knowledge about existing solutions. Degree gives you theory. principles and knowledge about ways of designing stuff. These videos give that practical knowledge that you dont really get from universities, but if you want to calculate the thermal expansion of the engine block under load, a fitting degree could be quite useful in order to validate the results. Hence the importance of a degree should very much vary depending on the specific needs of a company.

Good lesson!

@@CitySwimmah well said, well spoken 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

There's no better place to learn about 3-phase than by watching videos about DC power generation!

Electrical science? I've never heard such a course. maybe elec eng.

@@davemwangi05 No...this was a course designed by Prof Derek Williams and I took part in it's delivery where we took the practical aspect of electrical engineering and examined the subject from a scientific approach...a bit different but turned out to be very sucessful.

​@@georgestyer2153 Oh okay. And here's this eng challenge that has always puzzled me, and I ask people and they seem puzzled as well. You know that case of current passing through a solenoid? We know that if you open the switch at time t, the magnetic field will collapse and generate a spark. Now, if such an inductor is placed in a vacuum, and then one opens the switch when it's 'carrying a high current, what will happen? and we know one cant destroy energy or create it. Really interesting question, try figuring out and tell me. or you already know the answer in your fingertips.

Nothing wrong with carbon!

That's a valid point. Maybe I can link this in as I cover the transmission gear set

@@ClockworksOfGL Yes, but I work with motion control systems, not in the automotive industry.

Wrong

Thank you!

Thank you!

G'Day Alex,,yes you are right,,but the reason you rev them is to charge a capacitor in alternator to supply field power to the Rotor,,once yo get a couple of volts charge in the cap,then ya ready to charge,,and the other systems take over,now we have the charge to excite rotor wingdings,,

I don't think so, , the cap does not hold a charge to start the system. it's the residual magnetism in the rotor which excites the system. it's not a refrigerator . That cap is only to block radio interference.

The capacitor charges up with the voltage, and when the voltage is dropping, it discharges to keep the voltage up. This makes smoothens out the waviness. The higher the capacitance, the smoother the output will be. Also, I agree, this was super helpful.

@@MrCoolerMan1 Hello... totally understand they mean to imply it’s a smoothing cap and for a description of operation all good... But you will struggle to find one in reality on an automobile...at least all the vehicles I have owned over the years...Cheers

Send them a link, tell them to play it in class

Somebody has a crush! oooOOOoohh!

😂👌

😹😹gud1

Glad it helped. Check out our other videos I'm sure you'll learn a lot

Glad you like them!

Sure did

They also used a more mechanical way of regulation, bi-metal strips with resistance wire around them that switched the rotor winding on and off

*blew

Good question, it will charge and produce 14v while idle but I don't know the exact rpm below which the voltage is unusable. There's also voltage drop through the diodes.

Firstly the warning lamp, normally 5 Watts, the "Cut-In-Speed" is determined by the amount of current and the speed of the alternator. Imagine that the current is limited through the rotor by the warning light, as the alternator spins, this allows the currant to become stronger due to the production of currant, then the warning light will extinguish as the rotor has full currant (3-4 Amps), then cut in speed is reached, some 900 Alternator RPM and not engine RPM as the pulley is smaller than the crankshaft pulley, if you want the alternator to cut in earlier, simply put a bigger bulb in the warning light, thus higher initial currant to the rotor QED cut in speed lower engine speed. Not to forget that the alternator is taking BHP from the engine, higher the output, the more it takes, turning the alternator without output can take 2 BHP, depending on what you are doing with it, I guess power plant to charge batteries then inverter to power the home. If you can find brushless alternators (CAV ) used some in military applications 90Amp quieter and no parts wearing out except bearings. I see many projects on the internet using car alternators, putting permanent magnets instead of wire-wound ones. The capacitor is purely for interference and not for balancing the peaks and troughs, although it does do that to some degree . Hope this helps
