Is this book good for a completely new hobbyist with a programming background? My physics concepts regarding current electricity is non-existent after years of departure from the subject but I'm keen on learning circuitry solely as a hobby and possibly to put my programming skills to more physical use. Is this book the right choice for me to get started from absolute scratch? I still remember some basic calculus and stuff.

I learned all of this in elevator school

That series was the best. Had them all.

I've always been interested in this stuff, but just decided to delve so I can start making some little projects for fun and potentially a bit of profit. I have a feeling that book and I will be friends. I want to get that Grob book also, because I feel like I can finally grasp math, and you mentioned it goes more into calculus/algebra. (I'm middle aged, and um, 'life happened' as they say)

I just picked up a copy of this recently. At the moment I'm working through Charles Platt's Make: Electronics but I was planning on doing some of the projects in Mims' book after.

I still have the original version of this book, it has a green cover which looks more like a notebook, and yes there's still some useful circuits in there. It's a good book to start with if you're interested in electronics.

The stuff around 29:20 contradicts your 'evergreen' statement. You even say so yourself pointing out this is outdated.... 🤔

Love that book, Thank You for the post!🎉

Great review!

Your a Saint of the Gods Thank You.

Someone please translate this book into Portuguese and sell it, if no one does it I will

lmao I literally own this because I know the author and then it randomly showed up in my suggested

Art of electronics?

well that's good but... Fun fact.. Everytime this man says... You know

Thank you so much!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Invent mean putting out of your hat, meaning coming from nowhere or nothing. Like magic. There is no such thing as invention. There is design, organisation, architecture, engineering, no magic. You don't says tree invent their leaves, or plant invent themselves. Human are primitive, we've never invented anything, we've just seen what was before our eyes. If the design is original, it come from rule, understanding, reality. There is no invention. Unless you want seduce the kid inside yourself and build a fetish of yourself.

i was given this book by my dad when i was 8. its been read cover to cover so many times since. i couldn't have asked for a better sense of electronics fundamentals than this book gave me

The Only Book that Takes a Novice by the hand and Instills Confidence, excitement, Understanding without scaring with heavy maths, yet gives a Kaleidoscope of ideas with circuits and components and that a novice or even a professional can create, or derive ideas from, is The book written by Mr.Forrest M. Mims.III called "A Handbook of Integrated Circuit Applications" of Engineer's Notebook II series. It is truly the EVERGREEN of all Electronics Books. It gives the Confidence and ground work to Understand and walk into depths of Electronics. After 50 years I still keep it at the top of my library.

Thank you so much. SUBSCRIBED

You should title your videos better

Who cares digital or physical, come to the point !!!??

Ever hear of the Radio Amateurs Handbook? That is the best reference have seen. Never heard of this one so.....

It's got FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER

Terrible book, written in Pidgeon English! Wise Up!

lol, you're just saying random shit! Oh look another table, it's got silicon on it! An now he's taking about ferrite and wires and batteries, oh and a really complex integral equation that you won't have a clue about unless you've studied Maths at university! Load of balls!

I failed algebra. Twice.

Great book

When I went down the path to learn electronics in 2016 someone recommended this book, so I picked it up. It’s been an invaluable resource but … I’m STILL reading it.

4:55 “Moron switches” are always important to cover, as we are all morons

I love that book! But there is another in my top tier with it, maybe even edging out this book: How to Diagnose and Fix Everything Electronic, by Michael Jay Geier It contains so much information and intuition regarding what tools you should have, how to use them, and how to THINK through problems and systems. It’s an absolutely amazing book.

Evergreen is a wonderful song too, originally sung by Barbara Streisand. Luther Vandross has a version of it.

i have this book, i had to buy it for my education. i opened it maybe 2 times. this video made me realize that i should probably open it more often

Self study is important. Nikola tesla, and Faraday learned a lot from self study. Like you said it's multiple people. Thank you for the video.

I follow boylestad basic electronics for my basics for now... It's pretty good for that.

i have it but never finished reading it this giving me motivation to do so thanks

I want a reference guide with all the most commonly used components and some of their data sheets along with possible alternate components.. chapter with all the ic’s split into audio anps, oscillators, timers, regulators, dual op amps, just all the different random components and possibly some supporting component diagrams and stuff.. cuz theres a common knowledge about certain components.. but that knowledge stops with each individuals field of interest.. like everybody knows what a 555 is but still. Obsolete items are still out there and being used.. its not going to be too long until through mount wont be a thing anymore so the resistor color code will go away and the new code will be the one to know..

Feels good to find someone on the internet that talks like a real person with genuine, positive intentions.

I appreciate the recommendation but I’m 9 mins in and this video just feels like a table of contents audiobook. Definitely could have stood to plan out this video a bit more and trim it down.

I'm in Electrical Network Analysis right now and I'm realizing a lot of the basics were poorly explained to me. So I just bought this book. Hoping it helps!

Best channel on RUclips!!!!

Been rippin since we were kids bro, I love it!

could not get it in z-library. but the pdf is available in annas-archive

What do you think of the series of handbooks on "basic" components written by Cletus J. Kaiser?

Can you add a link to the book to the video description?

No inventor, creative person is going to want to read through this. With ai doing the heavy lifting of stuff most inventors and creators find tedious, books like this will basically become redundant. And so will the people who learned them.

What’s a good follow up to this book? FPGA? Analog and Digital signal processing?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by a resistor not being able to resist AC but being able to be used for loading? To me, those seem like one and the same. A resistor in an AC circuit still follows Ohm's law right? I think you may be conflating diode drop voltage with transistor turn on voltage. Diodes almost always drop about 0.7 volts but there is no hard and fast rule for transistor turn on voltage, you just have to look at the data sheet for the one you're using.

I don't mean to be mean or disparaging but the information in this video is quite inaccurate. You talk a lot about the difference between air and iron core transformers, you should at least mention why iron cores are used in normal transformers and why the Tesla coil does not have an iron core. The point of the Tesla coil was not that is was an air core transformer and thus it transmits energy wirelessly, technically an iron core transformer also transmits energy wirelessly, as the primary and secondary windings are not electrically connected, Iron cores are used in a transformer so that the energy in the primary winding is transferred efficiently into the secondary by confining and directing the magnetic field lines. With an air core transformer, the magnetic field is not confined and so a lot less energy is transferred between the primary and secondary. In a Tesla coil, low coupling is intentional to allow the secondary coil to oscillate, as well as to simply prevent damaging the secondary coil. This leads me to the next point. A Tesla coil is not a regular transformer, it is a resonant transformer. You talk a lot about how the capacitor "increases the speed" of the electricity. I'm not sure what to say about this other than that it is technically not accurate. The capacitor itself would do nothing to change the input frequency. The primary winding of the Tesla coil and the capacitor form an LC circuit, the frequency is a result of resonance. The resonant frequency of the secondary side of the Tesla coil is determined by its physical characteristics and is fixed. The resonant frequency of the primary side of the Tesla coil can be adjusted by changing the number of turns on the primary, which changes the inductance and allows you to match the resonant frequency to that of the secondary. The matching resonant frequencies and the resulting oscillations are what allow a Tesla coil to achieve such a high output voltage. You talk about having a conical winding vs a flat winding on the primary and how a conical winding is better. The shape of the primary as well as its proximity to the secondary determine will determine the strength of the coupling, or, how much energy is transferred between the primary and secondary. The shape then becomes a design choice, you can increase the coupling between a flat primary and the secondary by moving the secondary closer to the primary, but that may cause arcing between the primary and secondary. You can avoid arcing by moving the windings further apart but that will decrease the coupling and so you can make the primary conical to increase the coupling. A conical primary isn't necessarily better or worse, its just a balance of achieving optimal coupling and minimizing arcing between the primary and secondary. Technically you can run a small, low power Tesla coil without a top load but you will quickly ruin a high power coil without a top load. The top load, in most cases a toroid, raises the capacitance of the secondary side of the coil and allows it to store charge and produce bigger arcs. It also helps direct those arcs away from the coil. The size of the top load is not critical but will change the resonant frequency of the secondary. The top load capacitively couples to ground, completing the secondary side circuit. The spark gap allows the capacitor to build enough energy, then discharge when a certain voltage threshold is reached, that threshold being determined by the length of the gap. When the spark gap discharges, it creates a relatively low resistance channel of plasma that allows the capacitor to dump it's energy into the circuit, the energy is then exchanged back and forth between the primary and secondary at the resonance frequency of the circuit. The energy is eventually dissipated mostly as heat due to resistive losses and the spark gap quenches. The power supply then raises the voltage of the capacitor again and the process starts over, this happens many times a second and so the spark gap appears to discharge continuously. The spark gap can either be placed in parallel with the power supply as show in the diagram, or the capacitor can be placed in parallel with the power supply, with the spark gap in series with the primary coil, but the spark gap absolutely cannot go where you suggest. Consider again what happens when the spark gap discharges. Normally, when the spark gap discharges, a closed circuit is formed by the spark gap with the capacitor and the primary winding of the Tesla coil in series. If you were to place the gap where you suggest, every time the spark gap discharged, you would essentially be removing the primary winding of the Tesla coil from the circuit by shorting around it with the spark gap. In that configuration, the Tesla coil would not function. I am interested to know why you think it would make more sense to put the spark gap after the capacitor. The discussion on isolation transformers is very lengthy and not particularly relevant to the science behind Tesla coils.
