Dude this made me feel like a kid in all the right ways.

You know the saddest part of this all? Tesla died alone and poor. He made his design free for everyone to use for the betterment of humanity and got literally nothing in return.

We need an army of guys like this. The thing that often gets overlooked in education is the role of the teacher as inspiration. He knows things, and this is good, but he also conveys the enthusiasm and joy that comes with play and experimentation. For me, fifty nine some years ago, it was a Bell Telephone lineman feeding me old telephone parts and encouraging me to build my first working telephone. I will always remember him.

I'm an electronic engineer working in the field and I still feel like a kid when I see videos like this! Great job!

I was a Physics Laboratory Technician in local schools for decades. This is hands down the best demonstration of electromagnetism I've seen taught.

Got "inducted" into the hall of fame. Wow, that's some poetry.

I'm a retired power engineering and have commissioned countless induction motors and generators of all sizes up to many megawatts and still find this video about the induction motor interesting and entertaining. I have also watched part of the series on the history channel and found that very good viewing. Jeremy - you are a great presenter.

I've been an engineer for 30+ years and this is by far the best explanation of induction motors that I've ever seen. Thank You Jeremy for your watchable and informative videos. I hope these motivate new generations to understand the physical world and how it works!

Great series. I'm almost 75, and still learning as much as I can. Thank you Jeremy. When people stop wondering and learning...SEND FLOWERS.

its so odd, he speaks so calmly and clearly but his excitement is so real and genuine its infectious

My first degree was a professional diploma in Electrical Engineering (from the National Technical University of Athens), and then got to study Computer Science where I am still active today (as researcher/instructor/consultant and developer). Of course, because of my training, I am very well aware of all the principles and applications of electro-magnetism. Even though I didn't like the electrical machines courses that we were taught as undergrads, I really loved your presentation! Congratulations for this beautifully made video that has "soul".

The way you talk about engineering makes me co-feel the excitement you have to the subject. I enjoyed your video, please keep making more.

Your excitement is infections. Now I understand why induction motors last so long.

Best explanation of electric motors I have ever watched.

8:00 The old analog car speedometers worked similar to your model. A circular magnet was spun by a flexible cable driven by the output shaft of transmission. This magnet was surrounded by an aluminum housing that was constrained to rotate only 1/3 of a turn by a torsional spring. The faster the magnet was spun, the stronger the FORCE imparted on the aluminum housing, thus the farther the spring was stretched, and the farther the housing rotated. The speedometer needle was glued to the housing, and served as the speed indicator.

Your video quality and movement from one principle to another has gotten so good over these years I've been following you. Thank you for all your efforts.

Clarification: The history channel asked me if I would make a KZfaq video about revolutionary engineering, related to their series on engineering coming out this month. I think their show is awesome, but I am not "in" the show. 😀 Sorry about the confusion if that wasn't clear. You should definitely watch the show if you can!

I'm an electronic engineer, and already knew *everything* that you went over in this video, yet I still watched it to the end, and totally enjoyed it. *VERY* well done!

So I watched sooo many other videos just trying to understand how these motors work and your video was the light bulb moment for me. Thank you so much for this video because I finally understand it!

I love how simply you explain all this. Good job man. Just watched your video about free energy devices and that was the best explanation I've seen

I would have loved to have a teacher like him on my high school times. Not only teaching fundamentals in a super magnetic way, but providing excitement for knowledge.

I hated EVERYTHING about school, but I could watch Jeremy's videos all day and actually learn. Thanks Jeremy!

I’m the same way with machining and metalwork. Metallurgy and techniques from the past. I love the machining and metalwork in vintage sewing machines. You can see all the surface finishes and specialty machines they use

This is the best demonstration and explanation of this phenomenon that I've ever seen. I wish you had been my teacher in school. You've earned another subscriber.

I clicked onto this video not expecting to learn much more than I already knew. Not only was I unquestionably wrong in my judgement, your explanations were impeccable and your enthusiasm is frighteningly infectious. Great stuff Jeremy!

I've been into electric motors and magnets since I was in elementary school but I never took the time to learn how an induction motor works. I really appreciate your video for finally teaching me, thanks! Love your passion, too...keep up the great work!

you just made this topic incredibly understandable like a walk in the park. thank you so much sir!

Way back in high school I was looking for a project and came across an old ceiling fan that my dad rescued from an old building. It was built by the Century Fan Company sometime between 1930 to 1935. With some help from my dad who is an Engineer we restored the fan and it now hangs in my shop getting used when I need to move the air around. Dad explained to me how it worked but the way you explain it makes me realize that it's an induction motor. Dad probably told me all that but I was 17 at the time and thought I knew everything like all teen agers. LOL. Great video!

Jeremy Fielding is the kind of "influencer" we all need. What a great teacher you are. I'm glad to see your success. I wish I had you for a neighbor.

As an electric motor mechanic and winder, I absolutely love seeing videos that celebrate how important electric motors are. If they disappeared overnight, society would crumble lol.

You were born to teach. I thoroughly enjoy your enthusiasm; your smile and the pace of your talking. You also use good camera angles. All around, great videos and I can't wait to watch more

Jeremy, I want to thank you for your videos, they are very well presented in a manner that most everyone understands the concepts and ideas. Good job and keep up the good work!

This is science, engineering, experimentation, teaching, fun and love all bundled together ! Thank you Jeremy. You are a Gem.

Mr. Fielding, you are the professor EVERY aspiring engineer and science nerd should have in school! You make these concepts easy to understand and fun to learn. I recommend your channel to every parent and young child I know who expresses an interest in science, engineering and building stuff. Keep up the great work!! P.S. The History Channel could NOT have picked a better presenter for one of their engineering videos. That is AWESOME!!

Well explained, you are a good teacher.

Excelent explicat. Pe înțelesul tuturor. Bravo,faci o treabă foarte bună . Felicitări!

Jeremy I'm so proud of you. I remember when your channel was just getting started. You came from humble beginnings and your passion and energy and work has brought you to an amazing place. I still love your videos. I love your enthusiasm and the way you break things down. Please keep up the good work. You are and will influence a new generation of scientists and curious young minds.

And that alone is worth becoming an engineer. "Magic" explained and demonstrated by experiments that you can easily replicate and verify on your own, step by logical step. Wonderful.

I love people like you can adequately explain things that I don't understand. Thank you for the Post!

Great job. I’ve been in electrical maintenance for 32 years and still working part time at a motor rewind shop that repairs the big 3 phase induction motors, i sent this video to my boss cheers

The sheer joy and excitement in your eyes when you talk about engineering is what made me a subscriber. Gotta watch more of your vids. Great stuff and I never knew this about the history or how electric motors worked. Thank you.

I’ve been fascinated with magnetism for most of my 75 years. Read most of Tesla’s books and books about him. Pure creative genius. Magnetism is the mystery behind induction. I keep guessing and learning. Thanx for your series.

Same here as "markserbu" below. I really appreciate your simple and exceptional display of the induction motor.

I am really enjoying watching your clips, as they are very easy to understand and you explain complex ideas through simple demonstrations. Lots of love. Thank you.

Jeremy "Magnetic" Fielding. What a great guy with a great channel. I will boldly rank this one at the very top of my home made science channels list. Jeremy, you ROCK!

That's just a fantastic demo of the EM principles behind the most ubiquitous application in induction motors Jeremy. Certainly, this takes me back more than 60 years back when I was in secondary school when I got hold of a toy motor and never have been tired of being fascinated by the latest advancements in replacement of the internal combustion in EVs.

Why is this SO wonderfully interesting?! Thanks for posting.

Your videos are always good but this is honestly one of the best educational videos I've ever seen. Thanks for making it.

You thanking the History Channel is ironic. They are the ones who should be thanking men like you that take the time to share your knowledge and educate others. Keep up the good work. Your style of teaching is great, after decades with a basic understanding of how things work all come together and I fully grasp the concept when you actually show the visual presentations. Maybe I knew some of these things all along but your models definitely solidify my understanding. A simple thank you is in order. Better than any college degree I could go in debt to obtain.

What a great video! I wish I'd had teachers who were even a fraction as good as Jeremy is at not only explaining how things work, but making the explanation absolutely fascinating! Great attitude and compelling enthusiasm.

His joy and wonder about engineering is infectious! Keep doing it!

My name is Eddie and I've been watching KZfaq for so many years and have never posted a comment in all my years until now... This is the coolest most informative video I've seen... You broke it down so we I totay understood exactly what you were telling me thank you so much... Can't wait to see more of your videos... And I can't wait to make my own motors and inventions with this concept thank you

One of the most inspirational presentations I have seen in a long, long time - if not the best! Jeremy, you are so good! It is not the induction motor, it is the infection you are spreading with your enthusiasm based on solid knowledge. I am amazed! Thank you Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy. I have watched all of your videos that I can find and want to compliment you on the clarity and simplicity with which you present them. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing your talents - - - 39 years in education.

Thanks for explaining how it all works.I really enjoyed that!

You have a joy for learning and it shows. Thank you for sharing what you have learned

Jeremy! Your passion is making the world a better place. Thank you for making these videos.

I love how this man's enthusiasm and voice draws you in and makes you want to listen to him and learn. This was great and I wanted it to go on longer. Tesla must have been shocked by all of his experiments and discoveries.

I admire your work sir. Thank you for teaching us

Great video! I’m an electrician and love to watch stuff like this to keep learning. The wheel with the magnets reminds me of an ac compressor in a car. Turn on the ac and the electromagnet pulls the plates together at the pulley to engage the condenser. So awesome to understand why things work the way they do haha

I've been an electronics tech for years. I never stopped to think about how induction motors actually work. You explained it in terms anybody could understand. Thanks for making this video. Nicola Tesla is my hero. If not for him I would have to have invented a bunch of stuff myself.

Hi Jeremy, I really loved this presentation. As a retired Industrial Electrician (Mining) having worked in the UK and Canada, I've had experience with many types of motors and still find them fascinating. The Linear Motor and Mag-Lev mass transportation systems will revolutionize travel in the near future making short Airplane flights obsolete.

Keep doing what you're doing Jeremy. I look forward to learning more

Best video and the best teacher I have luckily stumbled upon. Good teachers are hard to find. You have a special gift.

I've got to say, you're a very good explainer and your enthusiasm contagious in the best way possible.

I love engineering. I love learning anything, however, thought by someone with this much sincere excitement and passion for the topic!

Great video. Awesome presenter. So engaging, its amazing what just smiling and having a clear curious interest in your subject matter can do for a video. Instant sub 👏

BRO! What a great lesson! I'm 52 and didn't understand this stuff much... THANK YOU! Awesome video brother.

Jeremy, you make this so interesting. I've instructed electricians for 32 years and really enjoyed your presentation. You are a wonderful teacher and best luck on your history channel work. I am sure it will be a big hit.

I am not a good teacher by any means, yet I have held quite a few 'classes' on theory of physics, it is not easy! Hats off to you because you teach me quite a bit, you are in "layman's terms" a Gr8 teacher by nature. A real gift.

Your explanation and visual experiment is awesome, I work with motors every day as a maintenance electrician, and although I have always understood the theory, your explanation really makes it easy to fully understand. Very impressive. Really enjoy your enthusiasm as well. Thanks for the video...subscribed

You need your own show. I love how well you describe everything.

This guy is a great teacher because he loves what he does. It looks like most of the people commenting are adults. I encourage each and every one of the people commenting, to grab a kid and let them watch this with you.

Never thought about being motor rich in my house. Great video. If you were a teacher, you would easily be able to get kids excited about engineering. I'm going to set my DVR for the series.

Brilliant! Like the other viewer said, you made me feel the child-like wonder again. Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you! Jeremy, i love a shop like yours. Thanks for your info.

Jeremy, I've never heard your background, schooling and employment. I truly hope you are a teacher, as that is one of your gifts. The other gift I see is a great mind. Thank you for your videos!

We need sooooo many more Jeremys in the world ... this never gets old watching the child like adventure and excitement he emits

Very cool. I love your inspiring method of communicating. Will be checking out your videos and will look into viewing the History Channel production soon. Thank you for your time, energy, and care. Stay well.

One of the best videos on KZfaq👌👌👌 tons of life long lessons on this one. Play this in the classrooms.👏

Jeremy, you are a brilliant teacher. I am glued to the screen every time you do a presentation. You are the very best in so many ways. Thanks for what you do.

My god, you really know how to elicit that child-like fascination; at least from me. This was so simple, yet totally fascinating. The simple experiments/demonstrations really hammered the points home.

I like the way you go over topics. Amateur radio operators use magnets and transformers in many of the items that we use, including antennas and power supplies.

Please tell me you're still teaching kids. In this day & age, we NEED people like you!!! God bless you

Thanks much Jeremy. "Professor Eric Laithwaite: Magnetic River 1975" is a must watch after this video.

Jeremy, c’est incroyable comment tu passes le message harmonieusement. J’ai hâte a tes autres videos et ton enthousiasme est inegalé. 👍

Mr Fielding I absolutely love you. Your love of science is absolutely admirable.

I love how passionate and the joy this brings you. Awesome video

I'd love to spend a day or two with this guy, just listening to him tell me how things work, and other stuff of which I have no clue. What a cool guy!!

Jeremy, from the first day i saw you stripping down old washers and maKing shop tools from their parts, i was hooked! Some folks have expanding minds, you however, possess an ever blowing mind that is inhaling the universe as you share it in terms though sometimes beyond me, in interesting, elementary and in bites i can actually chew on. You have one especially valuable item that is not a tool pre se but speaks volumes of how your mind works, and that is your logo. I recall so clearly you philosophy making what you need from what you have like scalable wooden gears, It has always been a joy to watch you and want to tell you how much I missed you while you were in transition from that incredible garden shed of a shop to what you have come to at this point. Dude, i am a disabled senior who's mind you spark with your apparent grasp of all thing and ability so share them. Thank you Jeremy, i look forward to more of your insight, knowledge and experience. Be well, Ray

This dudes enthusiasm is amazing and very helpful for learning purposes… thank you👍🏻

I greatly appreciate the simplicity and completeness of your presentation.

Great work about induction! Most folks say a changing magnetic field induces a current in a wire but it is an EMF (voltage) that's induced.

Outstanding video, Jeremy. I really like the demonstration with the two wheels. I had some pretty great science teachers in highschool, but none did a demonstration of electricity and magnets the I understood as well as that.

Love these demonstrations! You explain it so well, Jeremy!

You were made to teach. I enjoy how you approach explaining things.

This guy should be teaching online. He can connect with the kids very well. Explains it in an interesting way.

Congrats Jeremy on your collaboration with the History Channel! That’s huge, man! I don’t have cable but I hope to find a way to watch it

video well done. Best instruction I have seen in a long, long time!

I love your channel, Man!!! This is one of the best channels out there. Keep up the good work!!! All the best!!!
