Oliver Heaviside is the most underrated scientist ever. In school they teach us about Galvano, Ampere, Tesla and so on, but never Heaviside.

@@stuckonearth4967 It's not just Heavyside. Elon Musk naming his company Tesla may be the only reason we know that name. The masters tried to sweep him under the rug and discredit him too. The crime is not being self taught it's anything that redistributes power or wealth from the masters. This goes back to ancient times and the story of Prometheus who stole fire from the Gods in 500 BC. Zeues crucified him to rock and had an eagle eat out his liver, which would regenerate so Prometheus could be tortured again the next day at infinitum. The moral of the story is when you discover something and don't bring the current powers that be with you unveil it the power you unleash may become so imbalanced that it lashes out against you. So unfortunately advancements will probably have to include big oil and the most polluting companies or they may react so sharply against that new scientist, that he will join Heavyside, Tesla, and Prometheus.
but... surely there is a better way than one made up 200 years ago....? We've improved it's efficiency, but you'd think with everything we've learned in 200 years we'd have come up with something new?
Signature Edits I’m not sure the there is any way around the copper coils and magnets but the method in which we turn these generator turbines is insane. Our first idea has been one of the best. Use falling water. But then the next 2 are out there. 1.) Let’s dig up Old dinosaurs and plants from millions of years ago, light it on fire and boil a big pot of water to create steam. The steam will turn the turbine. 2) If we can split a uranium atom we can release a lot of heat to boil a big pot of water. The steam will turn the turbine. So let me get this straight you split the atom to boil a pot of water. Way to go
@@ronbrennick7351 Yes sir. Sorry Ron. Didn't mean to offend. You give great advice which I will follow starting . . . now. See you at the gay bar tomorrow.

Your videos should be mandatory in school as an introduction to a new subject, they usually make it SO much easier to understand a course. Many teachers know the subject, but they can't teach it. Your videos are usually "reference level" in both cases...
I think the important thing that people often miss is that when current in drawn from the voltage source (so power), a torque is created so that it impedes the rotation. So we don't only have to make spin the rotor "once" to give it momentum, but apply a constant power at least as much as the drawn electric power.
I don't think anyone misses that. If you could spin a rotor with one push and it ran forever and ever having a perpetual motion machine there would be no issues regarding power or the climate. Perpetual motion machines aren't even really pursued anymore except as RUclips click bait. All the solutions for clean renewable energy have been invented. Will we have the resolve to implement them or will we go down in history as the monsters that set in motion the destruction of all life on Earth. Knowing full well it was happening and how to stop it, but did nothing.

3:30 It's also worth to mention that when there is something connected drawing current from the generator, it gets harder to spin (I guess you'll cover Lenz's Law in a future video). That's why infinity energy generators don't work. When there's no current flowing, all the force you apply is turn into motion, and since nothing is consuming energy, the coil would continue to rotate indefinitely, if there was no losses due to friction and drag. However when something is connected, creating an electrical circuit, part of the kinectic energy of the coil is turned into electrical energy. Thus if the torque applied is constant, the angular speed of the coil will reduce, or conversely, to make the speed constant, a higher torque is needed.
This a good point and something that might be worth doing a solo video on. I remember we did experiments like this in physics class. Let a pendulum swing through a magnetic field and it swings normally. Replace the head of the pendulum with something conductive like copper and the pendulum swinging stops really quickly, the breaking action is really evident. What's going on is that the magnetic field induces a current within the copper, little electrical loops. Because this takes energy, the energy has to come from the motion of the pendulum. Hence the pendulum stops moving very quickly because those current loops are actually using up a lot of energy. The point of the lesson was the same as yours: perpetual motion energy-making machines don't work. That energy really has to come from somewhere, and there ain't no free lunch.
@urmthrwan Yes, in theory it would be possible if you also eliminate the mechanical losses (friction and drag). It makes sense considering that the power is given by the product of the voltage across a device by the current passing through it: P = V x I. Usually, the power is zero if there's no load, meaning there's no current regardless of the voltage generated. In this setup though, there would be no power dissipated because there would be no voltage drop between the ends of the coil, regardless of the current passing through it, so the power equation becomes zero too. I don't see any practical application of this kind of generator though.
Pushing a wire side ways in a magnectic field should cause current, brilliant and very clearly explained. Now I know exactly how the relationship between current and magnetism works, great video...
Thank you, this is what I wanted to know! I kept trying to look up how rotational energy is actually converted into electrical energy, but all the results and other RUclips videos just kept skipping over the electromagnetism part! Y'know, the part that actually converts the mechanical energy to electric energy. This is such a fantastic video!
Thank you, your video explained it really well, i love how you made it clear that magnetic induction/spinning coils around is the actual source of energy. I was really confused trying to understand how Nuclear Powerplants work
Have to be honest, first time watching one of your videos I felt like they was meant to be just for kids, but now I really enjoy each one of them. They are explained so well, in such details without all that misleadings examples that are used to supposedly help us understand.

In calculus I always heard about the "Heaviside step function" and I honestly thought it was "heavy-side" like heavy vs light and had something to do with taking the value of 1 rather than 0 at 0 until I quite recently (but not today) learned there was a physicist named "Heaviside" who invented electromagnetism and vector calculus.
Taylor Polynomials is another interesting coincidence where the mathematician's name describes the concept he contributed to mathematics. A Taylor polynomial is tailored to match the function.

Wonderful explanation! This channel is the Oliver Heaviside of RUclips. On a positive note, the improved YT algorithm has actually provided me with something useful.
Usually it's the magnet that spins, and not the coils. It's easier to extract power from stationary coils. The magnetic field can be created by a spinning coil, but it operates at a lower voltage which can be passed into the rotor by slip rings or a transformer
Maxwell built a generator that spun continuously once started that produced a voltage at the outer rim of a round copper plate sandwiched between 2 ring magnets and drove a generator which also produced an electrical output but he never pursued it. In the 1980s Bruce de Palma perfected that setup at got 10 kv from that similar setup and he pursued it and died shortly after after releasing his plans to the world. Seems like a generator will also produce electricity if the magnet and copper are spinning together. Good video keep up the good work.
Voltage is actually the potential for charges like electrons in the electric field. A potential is always the difference of energy of the particle at a point compared to the energy at a reference point diveded by the charge itself. So if you multiply the voltage (or the potential) at a point by a charge you get its energy at this point. Or in other words the higher the voltage, the higher is the energy of charge at that voltage.
By energy i mean the potential energy und note that you dont always divide by the charge. For example there is also a potential for the gravitational field which is the difference of potential energy divided by the mass. So in general the potential of a force field in physics is the potential energy divided by the quantity which causes the force. The cause of the force in the electric field is the charge.
When you (we) take a walk down Main Street one can only wonder how ingenious the spirit of us human beings can be. This is not the least reason why I don’t miss a single vid of N.L. and the fabulous Clone Team.
Subscribed - I appreciate that you discussed all forms of power plants without dragging global warming into the discussion. Strickly speaking I can agree that Nuclear and Coal are "less environmentally friendly" but you could have mentioned that they generate the vast majority of our power grid.
Just wanted to throw some inconsistent encouragement your way. I'm not a scientist, or use what you teach in any way. I'm a meditation teacher. But as a teacher I recognize that you do more than just entertain us or help students pass tests. You are following a passion, discussing the nature of the universe. And despite the fact that it may not bring you wealth or much utility, it adds something important to the question of what it means to be human. You inspire, guide, and provide a positive example of humanness. You've touched hundreds of thousands of minds if not millions. You done good kid. :-) Keep it up. Much Love!
For those who might have trouble visualizing it, the best analogy for voltage and current(amperes) i have heard is a waterfall. The height of the waterfall is the voltage (the potential) The amount of water falling is the amperes. Even if the waterfall is 200 feet tall, if a single drop falls theres not a lot of power there but it has potential if a river were to fall from 200 feet. And the total amount of work that can be generated from such waterfall would be measured in watts(in electrical terms) Height × flow = work(power) V×I= W
Big ups for giving Heavyside the credit he deserves! Maybe even a little too much credit... Hail Heavyside! The unsung hero of electromagnetic theory and all the amazing things we've gotten from it! Even the equations describing transmission lines, which Heavyside derived, ended up name the “telegraphers' equations”. Again, not name for Heavyside! Snubs, snubs everywhere!
It's Tuesday March 26th 3:08 in the morning just finished watching your video good job on the explanation of magnets here in New York City learning thank you for posting this video I give this video a thumbs up👍
one crazy question nick ! imagine if we isolate a black hole ....and start "feeding" ELECTRON ONLY. what will happen if we continue to feed..also consider that black hole also SPIN. will it produce magnetic field also?
I believe it should be plausible. However, getting a black hole charged to the extent that it produces a magnetic field great enough to be used from the distances we can reach would require an immense quantity of charged particles to be sent within it. Nonetheless, as had been said above, they already do have a significant magnetic field.
Yep. By the way i forgot to add my answer. If you threw electrons into a accretion (sorry if spellings arent correct) disk, then those electrons will produce a strong magnetic field. But for a blackhole to have a magnetic field, it must have a charge.schwarzschild bhs and uncharged kerr blackholes wouldnt do that.
Nick Lucid, you are the best teacher i ever saw and these videolessons are so exeptionally clear, i wish you where my teacher in my school. A pity i am dutch, but the school where you work shall and will without doubt deliver science students noticable above the average, in number ánd level. You are unique on youtube, thats for sure!
I like how you broke down coils to a single wire. I once got lost in the vape world and atomizer designs. How different arrangements produce different results. Ditto with electrolysis and many other electrodynamics.
If scientists had to create a youtube channel, this would be it. I especially like this phrase that its okay to be a little crazy. He looks and speaks exactly like a 'mad' scientist would. A bit of madness makes things fun, always. Short videos that give knowledge bytes every time. Just perfect for me...
You saved me ! I was having trouble understanding this on my class lecture, but the way you put it gave me a better understanding of how magnetism works ,its quite fascinating once you understand it all, for me repetitive makes it click in my noggin lol cheers mate
Very nice video. I would like to just add one little thing. While not totally wrong, it's mostly backwards. The large majority of Generators in the power industry use the rotor as the magnet. The Stator is a series of many coils. So, whether it's water or steam spinning a turbine or a combustion engine's flywheel, the rotational energy is transferred to a magnetic rotor, not a coil.
I love your videos Nick. When will your topic of electrodynamics get over. I mean I love this topic, but I want to learn something new too.... Letting everything aside, I just love your videos!!
To through internet wifi in universe to be abundant then dark matter and dark energy so that universe doesn't collapse internet wifi in light year fast
The microphone you talk into converts a metal plate's motion into electricity. A magnet provides the field and a coil collects the current. Vibrations from your voice make the mic's plate vibrate, same in guitar pickups where the strings replace the plate. Scream close to a guitar string, and the amp will actually project your voice.
Great video. You should have also covered the sources of magnetism in the various practical power generation cases (e.g. electromagnets, permanent magnets, hybrid setup etc.)

Voltage is actually the potential for charges like electrons in the electric field. A potential is always the difference of energy of the particle at a point compared to the energy at a reference point diveded by the charge itself. So if you multiply the voltage (or the potential) at a point by a charge you get its energy at this point. Or in other words the higher the voltage, the higher is the energy of charge at that voltage.
By energy i mean the potential energy und note that you dont always divide by the charge. For example there is also a potential for the gravitational field which is the difference of potential energy divided by the mass. So in general the potential of a force field in physics is the potential energy divided by the quantity which causes the force. The cause of the force in the electric field is the charge.

When you (we) take a walk down Main Street one can only wonder how ingenious the spirit of us human beings can be. This is not the least reason why I don’t miss a single vid of N.L. and the fabulous Clone Team.
0:42 “you know what’s coming”
Thank you for helping me better understand that Dr. Stone episode
I started my iPad, and your video started on its own...
Your clone must’ve pushed play...
Thank you, pushing clone.
Nice refresher video here! Been a while since I'd visited these concepts. Look forward to more.
Shame that, we don't learn this in school.
Nice to have so many visuals to help with conceptualising. :)
you deserve more, your videos are interesting and easy to understand!, especially for beginners like me =]].
One of your best video! Congratulations.
How long does it take you to upload please more
I upload twice per month. It's best I can do. These videos take forever.
@@ScienceAsylum thanks for the amazing content
The Ms. Eliot edit was gold!! 🔥🔥💯
TIL: Most power plants are just a very very large water boiler.
Fact.
Subscribed - I appreciate that you discussed all forms of power plants without dragging global warming into the discussion. Strickly speaking I can agree that Nuclear and Coal are "less environmentally friendly" but you could have mentioned that they generate the vast majority of our power grid.
Anybody here now??
Just wanted to throw some inconsistent encouragement your way. I'm not a scientist, or use what you teach in any way. I'm a meditation teacher. But as a teacher I recognize that you do more than just entertain us or help students pass tests. You are following a passion, discussing the nature of the universe. And despite the fact that it may not bring you wealth or much utility, it adds something important to the question of what it means to be human. You inspire, guide, and provide a positive example of humanness. You've touched hundreds of thousands of minds if not millions. You done good kid. :-) Keep it up. Much Love!
Thanks!
I'm like question clone. Pointing out the details. Curious.... Lol
I cant believe, why there are not much, much more people who had subscribed this channel yet.. Must be up to a million at least...
I wish you were my school teacher
For those who might have trouble visualizing it, the best analogy for voltage and current(amperes) i have heard is a waterfall.
The height of the waterfall is the voltage (the potential)
The amount of water falling is the amperes.
Even if the waterfall is 200 feet tall, if a single drop falls theres not a lot of power there but it has potential if a river were to fall from 200 feet.
And the total amount of work that can be generated from such waterfall would be measured in watts(in electrical terms)
Height × flow = work(power)
V×I= W
i understood great
Me too. Me now know good.
Big ups for giving Heavyside the credit he deserves! Maybe even a little too much credit...
Hail Heavyside! The unsung hero of electromagnetic theory and all the amazing things we've gotten from it!
Even the equations describing transmission lines, which Heavyside derived, ended up name the “telegraphers' equations”. Again, not name for Heavyside! Snubs, snubs everywhere!
Yes more "to the time line!" haha
It's Tuesday March 26th 3:08 in the morning just finished watching your video good job on the explanation of magnets here in New York City learning thank you for posting this video I give this video a thumbs up👍
1:31 they look so cute from the side view 🤗
Anyone agree?
The clones are the best
Strength are the guys who make things funny and reduce their increase in ado about saying something,Keep it up bro,Well done
one crazy question nick ! imagine if we isolate a black hole ....and start "feeding" ELECTRON ONLY. what will happen if we continue to feed..also consider that black hole also SPIN. will it produce magnetic field also?
Black Holes do have magnetic fields
If they have a charge 👆
@@Private_Duck
If they have mostly electrons, they do have a charge.
I believe it should be plausible. However, getting a black hole charged to the extent that it produces a magnetic field great enough to be used from the distances we can reach would require an immense quantity of charged particles to be sent within it. Nonetheless, as had been said above, they already do have a significant magnetic field.
Yep.
By the way i forgot to add my answer.
If you threw electrons into a accretion (sorry if spellings arent correct) disk, then those electrons will produce a strong magnetic field.
But for a blackhole to have a magnetic field, it must have a charge.schwarzschild bhs and uncharged kerr blackholes wouldnt do that.
Nick Lucid, you are the best teacher i ever saw and these videolessons are so exeptionally clear, i wish you where my teacher in my school. A pity i am dutch, but the school where you work shall and will without doubt deliver science students noticable above the average, in number ánd level. You are unique on youtube, thats for sure!
Yet, none of them ever wanted to hire me full-time...
Who’s here from Dr. Stone ?
had to watch this for physics homework, wasn't looking forward to it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely getting a sub for this
I love the pause, and the timeline XD perfect.
Holy smokes! You broke it down splendidly.
Finally a Science Asylum video, after so many eons!!
Hands down the most underrated channel.
Really amazing to see how the causality works in the situations at the very fundamental level.
Great video!
I like how you broke down coils to a single wire. I once got lost in the vape world and atomizer designs. How different arrangements produce different results. Ditto with electrolysis and many other electrodynamics.
I’m in EE right now, and I would love if you made a video on the relativistic explanation of electrodynamics. Love your videos btw !
If scientists had to create a youtube channel, this would be it. I especially like this phrase that its okay to be a little crazy. He looks and speaks exactly like a 'mad' scientist would. A bit of madness makes things fun, always. Short videos that give knowledge bytes every time. Just perfect for me...
Finally someone that makes this clear and simple! Thank you mate, keep on going, your channel is amazing!
You saved me ! I was having trouble understanding this on my class lecture, but the way you put it gave me a better understanding of how magnetism works ,its quite fascinating once you understand it all, for me repetitive makes it click in my noggin lol cheers mate
Glad I could help 🤓
I find this guy to be humorous. Thanks for what you do.
Now I'm experiencing thirst and will perform the required steps to cure this.
I'm 14 and I just wanted to randomly create an induction generator, and I was wondering if I could have a little help.
Very nice video. I would like to just add one little thing. While not totally wrong, it's mostly backwards. The large majority of Generators in the power industry use the rotor as the magnet. The Stator is a series of many coils. So, whether it's water or steam spinning a turbine or a combustion engine's flywheel, the rotational energy is transferred to a magnetic rotor, not a coil.
I love your videos Nick. When will your topic of electrodynamics get over. I mean I love this topic, but I want to learn something new too.... Letting everything aside, I just love your videos!!
We'll be taking a break from it soon. I'm getting sick of it too. I want to talk about other things now.
My Teacher used your videos for examples. You’re a great teacher.
That's great! I love to hear when my videos are used in classrooms.
I'm a D.A.R.E. instructor and I use your videos all the time in class!! ...Naw just fuckin with ya...
To through internet wifi in universe to be abundant then dark matter and dark energy so that universe doesn't collapse internet wifi in light year fast
The microphone you talk into converts a metal plate's motion into electricity. A magnet provides the field and a coil collects the current. Vibrations from your voice make the mic's plate vibrate, same in guitar pickups where the strings replace the plate. Scream close to a guitar string, and the amp will actually project your voice.
Indeed!
Great video. You should have also covered the sources of magnetism in the various practical power generation cases (e.g. electromagnets, permanent magnets, hybrid setup etc.)
