great to see you again MAESTRO DAVE,your teaching is awesome inspiring, take care yourself we need you, your KNOWLEDGE IS PRICELESS, greetings from jalisco,mx.
Duane is probably one of the best teachers I’ve ever seen. The most complex things explained so simply and concisely, so that they are easy to understand. Excellent video.
I am working on adding a 2 battery to my vehicle to run my Mimi fridge more efficiently, this actually helped me out , I was planning on skipping the fuse and switch, but I realized that it is something crucial to avoid a big disaster. Thanks for sharing this information. 👍
Absolutely your video help understand the groundside better. _____I just painted my father's car today, so I was happy about that. Hope your day was productive as well Sir!!
I want to thank you for your amazing videos especially about electrical diagrams and topics related to them. They are so well explained and cover the topics so well. Your videos give me an opportunity to learn about something I've always been interested in, but have never had the chance to study or to have anyone tutor me.
Thanks Dwayne this vid is sort of like Politicians arguing over what is IS . I get what ur saying but I also understand conventional/ electron theory and it’s probably easier and mostly conventional used By the way ur looking healthy CHEERS AGAIN THANKS 😊
Realfixesrealfast good evening take care and have a great day Realfixesrealfast 👍 Great tutorial thank you very helpful video thanks 👍 . From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
Hi, great video, I just found your channel. I’m trying to diagnose an AC problem on a 2011 Kia Soul. To you have a metrics flowchart that would help me with the diagnosis.? Thank you.
Ground is what creates voltage...You're implying the positive terminal of the battery has voltage, but it doesn't unless you are referencing that terminal to a "ground terminal". So yes, ground does do something, it creates a difference in potential (voltage). The positive terminal of the battery represents "no pressure" unless you reference it to something with more electrons. That something with more electrons can be, in this case, ground. Creating something is doing something.
Austin, you are correct. Electron differential is what really needs to be taken into account. However most tech's don't understand electron flow, let alone consider it as relevant. For example look at the difference between electron theory and conventional theory. I'm sure you know the difference. Why do we even have conventional theory? It's because most people never understood the real electron theory so by sheer volume they developed something that made sense to them and was easy to explain, and they called in "conventional" theory, (even though it was backwards). That simply made it easier to agree with as to how they thought it should be. So, we as teachers must always struggle with trying to teach fundamental principles that are not exactly correct but academically understandable. Kinda like politicians struggle with what is right or wrong. Or, which is easier to accept. I hope you understand. Thats why I asked foe comments at the end. I am trying to see how this is being understood.
Agreed. Actually ground does everything. It provides all the electrons for the current to flow. Electrons move from ground (negative) to positive terminal.
I love your experiences expressing the function of GROUND. For many years, I thought of this process of electrical engineering and the flow of electricity ⚡️ to ground. Especially in the form of confusion in my apprentice experiences in the 80’s rebuilding starters, alternators, and generators, and working on FORD VEHICLES, and the experiences of Positive Ground. Common error as an understanding of the polarities not being standard. I believe you created an amazing understanding for any communication to empower understanding the fullest understanding of auto electrical power flows and paths. Thanks again, I appreciate and enjoyed this wonderful presentation. 🙏❤️😇
That's a great day for me to see you teaching, always a great and useful lesson. My question is how can check the better way the ground with multimeter when look in any connector, in the volt scale or in the ohm scale, for example I find more than one ground in the tail light connector with the ohm scale like voltmeter scale, thanks and stay safe
Not entirely correct. A conductor does not do anything same as the " ground". There is a difference of potential between the positive and negative pole of the battery. What is stopping the current flow is resistance. The switch has a high resistance when it is open. It is not infinite same goes for the load. It too has a resistance. If you have a high enough voltage source and sensitive enough equipment you will see current. Your explanation is too simplistic. Your ground is a conductor just like another wire. It does not have zero resistance. Otherwise there would be no such thing as ground faults. Serial ports have a ground reference at least in the pc world. We used to have serial ports fail if the devices on either end were powered from separate transfomers. In diffeeent buildings. There was a difference in ground potential between the buildings resulting in excessive current on the serial port. It would blow. How was it remedied? A 3/0 bare conductor bonding all buildings to the same potential. A simple answer is never corrext.
I would expect that the phrase ‘know your audience’ is key here. Surely someone with your ‘expertise’ would not be asking ‘what does ground do’. Think of the level of expertise of someone who asks that question. They would understand Duane’s explanation….and look at your post as a bit of confusing mumbo jumbo.
@@Inisfad It's called lies to children. But the explanation is misleading and will need to be relearned. By his definition a conductor does nothing too.
The world needs more "real" teachers, like you!
Thank you sir 🙆
We all learn from the masters

Always good stuff!
This is the best definition that ive seen thats clear and simple....i love that this video feels like an old school 1980's or 70's science class video
Absolutely your video help understand the groundside better. _____I just painted my father's car today, so I was happy about that. Hope your day was productive as well Sir!!
Hello from Mexico....It's always a lot of gratitude for the learnings Gracias.

You are welcome, and thanks for commenting. I'm glad they help
This becomes especially important to understanding and diagnosis of circuits. Thankyou
Definition of the word "is." Takes me back to the Bill Clinton days.
True, you are correct, technically ground is a point of reference. Appears to be a question of semantics in my opinion.
This has now become pellucidly clear. Thanks much.
I like your choice of words.
Man. You look recovered. Im very happy for you.
Thanks. I appreciate it.

Thank you for your teaching sir...👍👍👍
Love these videos.
Thank you very much for the lessons
Good Dwayne. Thanks. Unfortunately they stuck a horses**t Stacey Abrams commercial in there.
Helpful information thanks ☺
Very informative.. Great video..
OUTSTANDING!
Great as always
thanks so much for your help
Realfixesrealfast good evening take care and have a great day Realfixesrealfast 👍

Well explain sir ,
Thanks for sharing... Cheersa.
You are the best at teaching auto electricity. Can you do one on the Can Bus network
What type of questions do you have ?
@@realfixesrealfast basic introduction on how it works

you didnt include a link to the video for the flow of electrons
Thanks for reminding me, I put it up there now.
If you don't understand the basics you have will a poor foundation to build upon . Thanks for a good foundation.
I believe that this is the best tutorial on the subject . Period ! Thanks 🙏🏼 🎯

Thank you for taking the time to comment, and for your appreciation of what I do.
Ok
I am Gary from AISKITS team and I hope to work with you. We produce high quality auto headlights and auto supplies, can I send you an email?
Somehing?
Thanks Dwayne for the lesson. I have been a professional technician for 44 years now and always get something from your videos!
Hi Russell, I am always amazed how we can still learn the olde we get.

2:07 What’s this new word SOMEHING? If you can’t take time to proofread your titles, I’ll just go watch something else.
