    Thank You so much for mentioning Sir Jagadish Ch. Bose!
    As an electronic engineer and an Indian, I was surprised at his contributions to Radio Physics,and I'm even more surprised by his name being mentioned here!

    Your pre-production and post-production work as well as your actual on set work is very through and the outcome, no surprise, is that your videos are the coolest!
    The fact that you actually answer questions is,... the cherry on top!

    @yesschembri 12 лет назад +1

    Yep got that right! But it only creates half wave rectification (search it on google ), you actually need four diodes to turn AC to a 'nicer' DC voltage (full wave rectification with a bridge rectifier). May also add smoothing capacitors for a smoother output. Cheers, some Great videos to watch here :)

  • @kenmore01
    @kenmore01 3 года назад +1

    You didn't mention Schottky diodes. When you need super fast diodes, those are the ones! They tend to have voltage limitations of at best (last time I looked) 100V, but I found in repetitive applications like high frequency signals, you can series them and the capacitance (which is also relatively high), balances them. They basically have NO recovery time.
    Even if you hit breakdown, the offending diode (I say that with great affection for the diodes) will conduct more, thus causing the other series one to take on more voltage. No failure. Plus, they only usually have like 0.3V forward voltage which is half of a normal silicon diode. Lots of capacitance, but in a high powered circuit, that's not really much of a problem.

    @pprinceton11 All PN junctions (Diodes) Emit photons some in the visible range that you can see, LED are constructed with the junction exposed under a lens, where as a simple diode is encased in a non-transparent plastic case so the photons cant bee seen. this is a simplistic overview and you must take into account the voltage across the diode junction.

  • @tennisthehilife
    @tennisthehilife 14 лет назад +1

    I think I see it.
    1st row(red) = chips positive terminal
    2nd row(blue) = voltage source
    Diode is between 1st and 2nd.
    So circuit goes:
    voltage source -> diode -> chips positive terminal -> rest of circuit -> then back to ground/source

    Those Radio's that Recieve Radio waves using a Galena Crystal is called a Crystal Radio. I'm actually building a Crystal Radio now using a "1N34A" Geranium Diode and a 365pF Air Variable Capacitor, a Simple-to-Build Plastic-Core Inductor, and a High-Impedance Piezoelectric Earpiece. btw, Crystal Radio's were the First Radio's that were used in the 1910's, 1920's, and partially in the 1930's and 1940's. Crystal Radio's make their own power, however don't create alot of power.

    I've heard that many diodes have a voltage drop around 0.7 volts. If I want to use a diode as a polarity protector like explained at the end of this video, won't a circuit powered with 5 volts only get a 4.3 volt supply? How do I prevent this from happening? Are there diodes available with very low voltage drop?

    @MrfixitRick 15 лет назад

    Cool!
    The un-powered diode crystal radio circuit, with only a resistor, a couple of capacitors and a coil added to the diode, is capable of incredible feats.
    The same basic diode radio circuit, plugged directly into a computer, can act as an EM field detector, a light-sensitive discriminator, or even a microphone.
    The circuit can be also tweaked to act as a beta brain-wave modifier to allow better use of alpha and theta brain wave states.
    Check out my Spirit Radio playlist for experiments.

  • @panzerschrekIOI
    @panzerschrekIOI 12 лет назад

    you'll need lots and lots of them for it to work, thousands. What can be done though, is a kind of voltage barrier, taking in consideration the 0.7V that a sillicium diode needs to work, if you put two of those, it will need approximatly 1.4V to conduct. Germanium diode needs 0.3V, which you can combine to get specific values. It's not acting like a resistor, but still doing something :p

  • @MandrewP

    If I'm not mistaken, isn't that diode installed in reverse? It looks like the cathode is connected to the positive supply and the anode is connected to the chip's positive supply terminal.
