After watching your video I couldn't help but muse over decades of "Academia" looking down their pompous snorkels at the mere mention of ANY information garnered from the internet. I'm long retired now but back in my early years I was owner / operator of a Land Mobile Radio / Marine Electronics shop. Back in those days we actually did component level diagnostics and replacement. Four evenings a week I was teaching an Industrial Electronics course for the Florida's adult ed program. A stick of chalk and a blackboard were the tools of the day. It's from that perspective that I can unequivocally state that your entire presentation is nothing short of superb! Absolutely every aspect of your presentation is STELLAR! Video, content structure and above all ... content depth & accuracy worthy of any institute of higher learning. Hey, I subscribed!!! Chris S.

Thumbs up for an excellent use of the Predator thermal vision sound effect.

The concise, informative and TO THE POINT nature of your videos is something that a lot of other KZfaq contributors could learn from. Two thumbs up. Okay at least one for sure.

Hey - I never realized that you included a reference to my switching time video in here! Thanks!

You are one of the best teachers ever.Even though it is not in my primary language I could always understand you videos and humor very clearly.I know that making these videos must take a lot of time especially at this quality.so Thank you!

Great video with oscilloscope waveforms and detailed explanations covering the relevant minute points. Thank you for all the practical demonstrations. Good knowledge for an electronics engineer. Please cover popular ICs, diacs, triacs and other lesser used components

Thanks for the reference to my TRR video! Nice job as always!

Afrotechmods consistently boils down the essential points to make it vastly easier for a beginner to understand what is going on.

Wish I knew of these videos back in college. Great job explaining and showing!

I enjoy the way you demonstrate in a no nonsense way these differences. I did not realize there were the differences between a normal diode and a shottky. Thank you again for your information.

This is an outstanding tutorial and without exception the best explanation of the schottky diode I have heard in both my personal and professional experience. Job well done.

Great tutorial, particularly the end. I always love to watch the magic smoke escape...

Thanks for taking time to give us this video. Only thing missing was the sparks. You had the smoke.

Excellent tutorial!

Very informative. I have been using diodes for years and only knew about the switching speed, never realized the other aspect of voltaqge drop (I still try to use Germanium diode when I find them for the smallest voltage drop)... Thanks again for a very clear description of pro's and con's.

You are a great teacher! Thank you

Probably the best video to date I've seen clearly describing the difference between a diode and a schottky diode - in just 6 minutes!

Thank you. It is a refresher course me. After many years it takes me back to my younger years. Excellent and precise explanation.

For a beginner your tutorials are gold, keep it up!

Hi, I trained as a telecommunications tech way back in the late 70's. I have lived decades thinking I knew all about this stuff, but haven't been actually building circuits or anything even like that. (I've been dealing with more & more optical fibre technology lately) I found this video re-educational and a useful reminder that pigeonholed old knowledge is vague and unreliable. Thanks!

Everyone says or writes about the fast switching without any examples. Seeing it first time in your video made sense instantly :)

Well done. Excellent speech, audio, and presentation. Thank you.

Informative refresher. Thanks Love how you fried the diode for a close. A man after my own heart.

Nice. Been having some issues with the Schottky blocking diodes in my solar panels. I use a Fluke 117 multimeter in "diode checker" mode and found it to be really good at checking diodes pulled out of a solar panel. Thanks for making this video...it helped. Badass Predator music insert with that thermo imaging clip!

Love the oscilloscope, really put everything together!

I work in an electronics store and had to use this video to learn more about Schottkys, thank you!

I have schottky diodes but had no idea what the difference was. Nice clear explanation, thanks!

I bought a bunch of stuff from Amazon on your behalf the other day. Keep up these great videos! Looking forward to the zener video.

I studied electronics many moons ago but for some reason Schottky diodes were never covered in the course. Not a problem with this excellent tutorial 👍

The predator references and sound effects are most definitely appreciated :).

That poor diode at the end. You took its magic smoke away. They can't work without their magic smoke, and once it comes out, you can't get it back in.

Such a concise and efficient explanation! Thank you!

Glad to see you're still a fan of Arnold.

Thanks sooo much. I was aways wandering what they are. All the other videos I saw on the concept were confusing, thanks so much again! You are like the Khan Academy of electronics, but much better!!!😀

Quick, concise and practical. Very well explained :)

i loved the predator thermal vision sound effect, oh and you video was also very educating, academic grade.

Love your videos. Really usefull information. Can´t await the next videos comming up.

Thank you, most enlightening. I do software but am keen to learn more about electronics.

This was very informative and well presented. thank you my friend and have a great day.

great video!! thanks. saludos

I wish all electronics videos were this well tutored

Excellent yet simple description. CHEERS!

Brilliant. These videos are perfect for beginners in electronics.

As always, GREAT videos. Thanks for the Schottky tutorial...

Thank you, just what I needed for my class :)

first time watching any of your videos, subbed because you obviously deserve more subs

Great job, thanks for taking time to share this info.

Sweat! This was an excellent video covering the basics of Schottky diodes. This will be a big help with many of my beginning electronics students.

You make things very easy to understand. Way better as expensive books in my own language! So thank you very much for all those vids. :)

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!

SED, Smoke Emitting Diode

Perfect 👌 I loved the predator background in the temperature cam 😃

Liked and subscribed. Great to see a clear, to the point video on electronics

Very nice tutorial, it helps me really a lot. Thanks much!

this is best tutororial on youtube i finaly know why is schottky diode deferent than regular diode

Great explanation and vivid video demo. Thanks a lot!

Very clear talking .Very Good Teaching .

Love the Predator heat vision effect :D

very good, simple and explanatory - good job !

simple, interesting and educative all in one ! keep up the good work :)

Keep the good information flowing.

Thanks for making this video. Have a nice day.

Great job!

Whoah, this video takes me back to my early days in amateur radio, figuring out diode mixers for UHF / microwave freqs. At one time you could buy these at a local Radio Shack.

It's so good to have you back Afro. I was beginning to wonder if the CIA had you pushing too many pencils.

Chotchkie's diodes have to have at least 15 pieces of flair to function properly

love the melt down at the end, thanx.

Please make videos more often I really enjoy ur work keep it up :)

Excellent presentation. Our fellow technicians used to say that the magic smoke came out of the I.C.'s, Transistors or diodes. LOL.

A great video,perfectly explained thanks

It took me longer than I want to admit the Predator heat vision sound effect. Great touch.

informative and short ... this is what I'm looking for !!

How I wish they taught his in high school. It’s such a practical application of science and math. It’s so fascinating.

You are so good AND interesting and informative.

Very nice Video. It's all about quality, not quantity.

Excellent video Very precise and well explained. Thanks

Thank you for the video, it explained everything very well !

You're awesome. Keep making more videos like this.

Awesome video man! The predator soundtrack for the thermal image killed it!

Great Tutorial. Thanks

I use schottky diodes as ring modulator. they work perfectly. cheers from Indonesia

Great video and explanation! thanks, much appreciated.

Nice sound effects, great video.

great video with great illustrations.

At the end the otherwise..... was awesome!

You are Great Sir.....what a video sir.

Haha, awesome. I had thoughts and questions along the way and you rectified them all and along the way. Haha.

Helpful Topic,Thanks

Well-done, excellent explanation

First time here, already subscribed! Great content!

Very well done short video. Thanx!

Maan I've seen this at school it was so complicated but when I look this video its a lot more easy to understand

Ahhh ... the magic smoke escaping ! Keep up the good work !

Another awesome vid. Thank you.

I like the predator sound effect your using when you switch to heat vision lol

On half way of video, i was like, well why do silicone diode even exist? and then you explains it. Great video, helps me a lot thanks. subbed.

Excellent video!

Great description! Thanks!

It is goog view about schottky diod. I was also searching for varicap diode, but couldn't found in your videos.
