I recently made an EV conversion of an old ATV for my kids. In the process of testing different locations for the throttle pedal I've used a neodymium magnet to temporarily fix it to the frame. Not knowing the throttle wasn't a potentiometer but an hall effect sensor, I've messed with the magnetic field of the magnet on the pedal enclosure. I'm wondering if this is fixable ! In any case this would make for another type of electrical switch video.
awesome videos !!! i have used some of the stuff for my own projects relays and solenoids for an easier time, but i do plan on making that hydraulic wood vise thanks for the idea

regarding "is it a short?": when you first apply a voltage to the coil, its inductance impedes the flow of current. As time goes on, that affect reduces until only the resistance of the coil is relevant. If the coil is long enough, and the wires thin enough, that resistance can be high enough to safely connect across your voltage source. If the coil is too short or has wires that are too thick, that resistance can be low enough that it will try to pull too much current from the voltage source. If your coil is short enough or has thick enough wires, you can reasonably argue that the result is a short circuit. This is why solenoid controllers exist. The controller may need to reduce the voltage given to the coil after it is initially switched to prevent excessive current draw.
@@GreasyReecey the correct way to use a coil depends on what you're using it for. For some applications, a series resistor can be an adequate solution to overcurrent. For others, not so much. The resistor would likely need to be a somewhat large-value resistor, at least by the standards of the voltages involved in the circuit. Unless the coil is so long that it has substantial internal resistance, your resistor would need to be a large enough value that putting it alone across the voltage source wouldn't be a problem. Putting a plain resistor in series with the coil will slow down the coil's response time, and resistors limit current by turning energy into heat -- which is often undesirable both on the "consumes more power" and the "produces heat" side of things. Note that electromagnets function based on the current passing through them, so if you are going to be giving the coil a high power, you will need a power source which can handle a large current, so you would be able to use a small-value resistor in such a case. However, if the coil requires a high current, that heat production will be high enough that you need a physically large resistor and possibly a heat sink to avoid it melting. At that point, a controller is definitely a better option.

Hi jeremy, ive been watching your videos for quite a long time and just realized ive never left any comments so i would like you to know that i thoroughly enjoy your teachings and how your family seems to enjoy all the things you do just makes my heart smile lol. Thank you for all that you do
Humanity is filled with wonderful souls. The problem is the news, it has a negative bias and therefore fills your mind with negativity. I haven’t watched the news or clicked on links in 4.3 years. Unfortunately, I have a lot of clients who watch the news and they tell me, “haven’t you heard,...” Honestly I try to tell everyone who will listen, how much happier you’ll be without TV and news.
I'm getting to the point in my electrical career where the concepts are intertwining and I can better describe how an electrical system works. You've helped do that for me. Thank you.
Dude, you have got to be by far one of my favorite channels to watch on RUclips . You know ur stuff so well and I can tell you love learning and teaching, you are an amazing teacher because it’s obvious that to truly love ur craft and love to share it with others, i too love this craft or what I call an “Art form” because of the limitless amount of creativity possible. I learn and do more and more every day with the help of your channel. You are immensely talented and inspirational. I love that you are continuously learning new things all the time yourself and never treat your audience like they’re stupid for not understanding something right off the bat, instead you take your time and make sure to break it down explain things in great detail with visual representation throughout the entire educational process. You are undoubtedly bettering yourself and the world, and not to mention your incredibly humble and passionate and patient, not to mention just seem to be genuinely a good person who is real AF. You explain everything so well and I find you beyond inspiring. Thank you for all the time and hard work your put into your videos and craft. I / we/ the world… is so lucky to live in a time where content like your channel is available 24-7 all day every day for FREE! If that an’t some amazingly dope shit I don’t know what is. Anyways man, keep it up dogg your a true G. I’ll stay watching, stay inspired, and stay learning from you as long as you do! Thanks again - SHMIKEDOGG
Understanding relays better after viewing your vid , also great family interaction Thank you for your part in showing melanated folks like us as normal as any other segment of society.
My teacher played this video for class and I'm so glad. Your video has been the easiest for me to understand and helped me get some motivation again. Thank you! 😊 PS your wife is so precious and beautiful! Her chairs came out awesome 👌
wow. You have just demonstrated what we really should be teaching our kids in school... And the way you teach is MAGNIFICENT. All I am seeing lately is teaching children how do judge others... I vote you to head up the nations school system.
You're such an amazing educator. This was a better explanation than I've had in high school and junior college electronics classes I paid for. Keep going, you've got a talent.
Remarkable timing running across this video! I am building a blacksmith power hammer to be powered by a 2 hp,240v,1ph motor. However, the contractor was damaged as we salvaged the motor & wiring from the wood shaper. Now I can replace it! Awesome as always! Dwayne (central PA)
This guy is a great teacher, and more importantly shows us that he is a good husband and father. Keep inspiring young minds man. Thanks for donating your time to teaching others all while being a great example.👍
King, this video is soooooo good and necessary! I Learned alot in a short time, I am in industrial maintenance and want to get more into electrical and motor controls..You and you're family are inspiring. Thank you.
Very well structured and presented! You are a natural instructor, teacher, mentor! A group of kids at the place you worship would love to have you teach them to build a crystal radio and then a one transistor radio and.... I was one of those kids and a mentor like you (Claude Meskal)was a huge positive influence in my life and career. All the best to you and the family my good neighbor!
That is the absolute best. "So what did you want to film?" 'I just did.' Thank you for sharing this light and touching moment. Very cool and funny. Great Job!
This video reminded me that one of the first "toys" i remember was a 4 pole single trow relay. My dad brought it home from work and i spent hours and hours playing with it, taking it apart and putting it back together. (Mostly unscrewing the screws and screwing them back in😅. The screws couldn't fall out, so it was child friendly)
IM WATCHING THIS 2 YEARS AFTER YOU MADE IT BUT YOUR WIFE'S REACTION WAS GREAT WHAT A GOOD SPORT YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME AND TEACH THANK YOU .......
I was wondering why the comments were so crazy positive and uplifting, more so than the already happy comments in most engineering channels, then I finished the video. What a great channel. I really like the intro to the Kiwi Co ad. "If you want somebody to be interested in something, you have to inspire curiosity". I've been putting together some Legos and Arduino parts to build some robots with my cousins girls, and this will be a good quote to keep in mind.
She is priceless…you two are. Thanks for bringing her in on this video. I find the information on relays to be just what I need today as I need a shut off switch for a VFD I added to a 2 horse 220 volt grinder. Jeremy to the rescue! I know I need a relay to control the larger switch. Thank you my friend.
I looked at your video not to learn how a relay works, which I already knew) , but to see how you explained it in laymen's terms and found your demonstration complete. Thank you.
"I can't describe a short circuit, but i know it when I see it." Great video, relays are an awesome electrical component, very important, they're everywhere.
I want to give you thumbs up for your sponsorship. You tie it into what you actually do.... you're not a scruffy guy selling shaving gear... thanks for that.
+1 Totally agree, he should at least apply to be a part time trainer in some electrical company, he has a strong and assertive presence and explains stuff that even a kid can understand.
I love hearing people explain how things work . Especially folks like this who actually know what they are talking about. Thank you. You doing a good thing.
I just fell in love with this engineer! You can see the excitement in his eyes as he explains this stuff and every concept is explained and integrated sequentially. I could have watched this video with no prior knowledge and come out being able to teach this stuff. Really really impressive Sir Fielding! :D Thank you!! My only prior knowledge was about the electromagnets lol
Jeremy does a good job of breaking down the mechanics of things so that anyone can understand. And he seems like a great guy. So much enthusiasm for what he does. He would be the best neighbor to have. I could hang with him in his shop all day long.
(You just secretly filmed me?!) I love you. That exchange was precious. Thank you for clearing up relays, that was awesome... And I totally understand now how to incorporate one into my solar charged battery and inverter powered boat air conditioning system. Cheers!
Not short circuit. It's a Load. Impedance of the wire is controlling the Current flow. Coil Resistance impedes the current flow. Limiting said current. Do I get a Gold Star ?
Simply amazed on how you explain everything, I am a mechanic for 20something years, recently moved to the electrical side of maintenance, thank you for the video.
Don't think you all know everything. I've been working on electronics, robotics, home electrical, HVAC, and I've had my ASE certifications as an automotive technician for 36 years. Jeremy has taught me things that I didn't even know until I started watching his channel. This guy is fantastic. Don't ever think you know everything, because if you keep an open mind, and stop thinking you're the best thing since sliced bread, you'll realize that there's plenty more things to learn out there.😎👍💯
The problem with trying to learn about technology is the presentation. This video was clear, simple, and had great examples. Now I've got to watch them all...
Thats awesome everyone showing interest and acknowledge your hard work and creativity ...key to why this man sleeps beautifully at night...your welcome
You are the best, the only channel I watch asap. This could be three different videos but in particular, if you could pull out your Amazing Randi meets engineer segment, we could get it up voted and do some good. Thanks either way, you are a great teacher.
Beyond your advance knowledge of electrical theory, Your on call knowledge of power control and motor control components, their associated rating, and applicable usage is impressive. Relating parts from everyday house hold items to explain key concepts…These are quality educational videos. I’m a maintenance technician, I work in manufacturing for a company in Texas…the company uses Italian made machinery…terms are different, and upper management and production associates are ESL, these concepts seem to click across all spectrums when electrical control components and systems can be related to things people used in everyday life. Even at the industrial level. Just listing all the ac and dc motors and their controls in a kitchen seems is eye opening to people. Thanks for the video.
Great video. I'm a retired guy taking an apprentice electrician course for my own edification. The course uses Pearson textbooks. Painful. Your video on relays and contactors put the way-to-detailed text into perspective. I also am blessed with three granddaughters, two are of age (5 & 8) who like to do projects. I will shop Kiwico for project gifts. Both their parents are engineers and prefer to have the kids doing thinking projects vice screen time. Thanks!
Is it a short circuit? Technically no, because the coil is acting as an inductor, so the battery's anode is hooked up to a reactive component and not just it's cathode.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent job. I have never scribble to ANY site, but yours is well worth subscribing to and watching. I do not know how anyone could give a thumbs down... They don’t know anything. Barry PS: I’m an EE and ME
i.e the resistance of the coil isn't changing. No alternative path with less resistance is possible (currently) so no it isn't a short circuit, it is simply completing the circuit.
A few ohms is still a short circuit. If you have a transistor that's gone faulty between emitter and collector and had a reading of a few ohms it would no longer be an electronic switch an would fail as it would just be closed at all times, no longer needing the base current to close the switch as it has gone short circuit. 👍
Some time ago I was working on concrete equipment and noticed there were nonfunctional vibrators on the sand, aggregate, and cement bins. These were powered by air but controlled by switches. I really didn’t know what I was doing but we took it all apart cleaned the components as reassemble. It worked. The simplicity of these in how they are constructed makes it more magic and harder to understand because something that seems this complicated can’t possibly be that simple. It’s incongruous and counter intuitive.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SIR. I watch a LOT of sponsored content on you tube but i dont watch a lot of the portion where the sponsors get their say in, i.e. the part where the influencer (thats you) says their advertising schpeel. BUT i did watch you talk about kiwico, and didnt even know it till it was done. I mean, sure..i heard you say that you were excited about your sponsor, but then i got caught up in what you were saying, how you said it and the fact your family unit was featured in it and i must say that you did a great job. What? did you think you were about to read a rant? some negative troll based opinionated lecture? I used a technique that i have used for a long time to get and hold your attention... its a little trick that i havent seen anyone else do except my mentor and Art teacher from 7-12, and YOU. nice work on the dont touch button... My teacher would write in big letters on the board "DONT READ THIS" and then in between those words he would put the real message. and then really give us the business when we would have to use the info for our project or whatever that would make it clear that we DID read it. Good hearted teasing cn sometimes bolster a shy persons confidence but it takes a master, something i suspect you know as well. Keep up the good work and when i can afford to feed myself AND pay rent again i will definitely patreon you. thanks for being you! beautiful family!
Wow, you've got power man! What a thoughtfully delivered message and on top of that an ad that is enticing and doesn't grind your ears red 👏🏼 Just discovered your channel and enjoying every bit of it.
A few ohms is still a short cicuit. If you have a transistor that's gone faulty between emitter and collector and had a reading of a few ohms it would no longer be an electronic switch an would fail as it would just be closed at all times, no longer needing the base current to close the switch as it has gone short circuit. 👍
@@SlyerFox666 Depends on what circuit you are talking about. The starter circuit on a car should have less than 1 ohm resistance (let's assume 60A at 12V, according to Ohm's law this would mean a resistance of 0.2 ohm).
In my opinion, it's an inductor therefore not a short-circuit. Another way of looking at it is if the path the current takes is shorter (less resistance) than the intended one, then it's a short circuit. Although that's still not quite right I dont think.
@@brandy1011 When you say starter circuit are you talking about an electronic circuit or just the actual wire ? Just in most DMM or even an old school avo meters good luck getting a reliable reading at .2 ohms without some pricey equipment. I used to have to measure the contact points between terminals for equipment used on the grid with equipment that could measure down in the mOhms and it was a beast. I'm thinking your talking about just the wires, if your figures are correct then it would make sense if your pulling a minimum of 60A CCA on an engine to start it up. The cross sectional area on that cable would be fairly thick reducing the resistance, as you want to deliver that full 60A to the motor you don't want much resistance so you want to get it as close to no resistance or short circuit as possible. So yea I'd say any thing from .1 - 1 or 2 ohms you can easily class as a short circuit. I think it's easy to forget everything has resistance, capacitance and inductance, there is no perfect resistor at the end of the day so you have to either think in ideals or reals.
Nicely done, I've been involved in electric AC / DC for 60+ years. I found your way of explaining how it works to be 1 of the best, and easy to understand for the novice.
bravo Jeremy this is the BEST show you have created,from Family included to the scamming, i have followed you for some time but even your content gets held down, i started 10 years ago relearning
Love your ability to explain in layman's terms. Ive worked as an electrician on and off my whole life, I know how to make it work. I went back to school for the nuclear technology program, even with that, ladder logic is still confusing when it's applied to real scenarios. Even more so is motor control shares symbols that mean different functions from PLC ladder logic. I work doing industrial maintenance and have to troubleshoot; PLCs, relays, solenoid, limit switches, step-down/up transformers. I'm always learning, but even though I may not always understand the "why" I am pretty good at figuring out the "how" so I keep things running. Again your very talented at communicating the "how". Your wisdom is much appreciated!
Your kids do not have idea how lucky they are to have such a inspiring, kind, motivating, patient, and easy to learn from father to teach/educate them. I'm in my early 40's and just love your videos. Thank you so much for your time and expertisee in explaining things so well.
It's embarrassing to admit how much I learn from this, as I work in electronics/ high voltage control systems ..... Great job ...fills in a lot of blanks
To ALL the positive comments about you, your family, and your skill I say “the same times 3!! I already knew most of what you explained, but still loved hearing how you teach. Now, a comment about solenoids, etc: years ago I worked with water treatment systems, and designed some special valve configurations. (I’m not a real engineer) Some people used solenoids to open and close water valves, but the problem was that to hold a valve open, required constant power to the solenoid. Power consumption wasn’t much, but the solenoids tended to burn out from the excessive use. An improvement was to use motorized valves. They took a few seconds to open, but stayed open with no power until the motor came on again to close them. I’m thinking you might want to do a video applying this concept to electrical switches, instead of water valves? We also used motors to open water lines 1/8” or 1/16”. Diameter that then pressurized a diaphragm in a 2-3” valve allowing 100’s of gallons per minute to flow. The tiny line works like the low voltage line, opening a high flow valve, instead of a 240v switch. Although pressure was still needed on the small line to keep it open, it didn’t consume water, but held it open with (static?) pressure. VOILA!! Same concept as your air activated system for your dust collector gates! Maybe I should have watched you video about that system before writing this, but I think it would be great if you do a video comparing the use of air pressure, water pressure, and electricity to open “relays” . Electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Keep up the great work!
A+ dad. The best thing you can teach your kids is critical thinking and problem solving. Handling of money is also important, I wish they would teach these in school. Kids are so unprepared for life after graduation.
If anybody really wants to learn something, and they're new to electronics & magnetism, Jeremy Fielding is where you need to go. I have yet to find a more clear, and concise way to simplify, and explain electricity, magnetism, and then how he does in this video. I mean, you will learn this shit in 5 minutes with this guy. Fantastic video for the newbie. Keep up the good work, Jeremy. Don't forget to make some cool videos for the experienced technicians like us, as well. Can't wait to see what you're going to cook up next. Ty buddy 😁
Thanks for this and all your great videos. Regarding your question, it is a closed circuit, the coil has some resistance that reduces current to a safe level. A short is also a closed circuit but the current exceeds design limits, usually caused by a fault. Regarding relays- some other terms. Slow to operate and/or slow to release, the addition of a capacitor across the coil can do this. (diodes and resistors can modify results). A closed contact is also called a make contact, open-break. Contacts can be arranged to be make before break and so on. Some relays have wetted contacts, they are sealed and contain mercury and must be properly orientated. When powering relays with electronics you should provide protection from the coils inductive kickback, you can use a reverse biased diode across the coil for this.
Surprisingly I just learned more about relays during this video than I did in 3 years of Auto-mechanics in high school. I could blame my teacher, but he was a great old man, so I'll blame hormones and horsepower instead. Thanks Jeremy!

I already know this stuf but your explantation are so simple an organised!! Every school should have a teacher like you!
Dude, you have got to be by far one of my favorite channels to watch on RUclips . You know ur stuff so well and I can tell you love learning and teaching, you are an amazing teacher because it’s obvious that to truly love ur craft and love to share it with others, i too love this craft or what I call an “Art form” because of the limitless amount of creativity possible. I learn and do more and more every day with the help of your channel. You are immensely talented and inspirational. I love that you are continuously learning new things all the time yourself and never treat your audience like they’re stupid for not understanding something right off the bat, instead you take your time and make sure to break it down explain things in great detail with visual representation throughout the entire educational process. You are undoubtedly bettering yourself and the world, and not to mention your incredibly humble and passionate and patient, not to mention just seem to be genuinely a good person who is real AF. You explain everything so well and I find you beyond inspiring. Thank you for all the time and hard work your put into your videos and craft. I / we/ the world… is so lucky to live in a time where content like your channel is available 24-7 all day every day for FREE! If that an’t some amazingly dope shit I don’t know what is. Anyways man, keep it up dogg your a true G. I’ll stay watching, stay inspired, and stay learning from you as long as you do!
Thanks again

Understanding relays better after viewing your vid , also great family interaction Thank you for your part in showing melanated folks like us as normal as any other segment of society.
My teacher played this video for class and I'm so glad. Your video has been the easiest for me to understand and helped me get some motivation again. Thank you! 😊 PS your wife is so precious and beautiful! Her chairs came out awesome 👌
You’re a good Dad and family man which is so important. Also you’re knowledge of electronics is awesome. Thank you for this tutorial.
Beautiful wife and family! You're definitely blessed my friend.
Amen !
Only 2 minutes in and I know I am hooked on your teaching style Jeremy
What a great and straight forward teacher! much love from an electrical apprentice/ tinkerer
wow. You have just demonstrated what we really should be teaching our kids in school...
And the way you teach is MAGNIFICENT. All I am seeing lately is teaching children how do judge others... I vote you to head up the nations school system.
You're such an amazing educator. This was a better explanation than I've had in high school and junior college electronics classes I paid for.
Keep going, you've got a talent.
I got beaten for asking questions in school I paid for it too
Remarkable timing running across this video! I am building a blacksmith power hammer to be powered by a 2 hp,240v,1ph motor. However, the contractor was damaged as we salvaged the motor & wiring from the wood shaper. Now I can replace it!
Awesome as always!

I love your down to Earth and simple explanations. Even your sponsor was perfect for the environment your inspire with your family.
Thank you.
This guy is a great teacher, and more importantly shows us that he is a good husband and father. Keep inspiring young minds man. Thanks for donating your time to teaching others all while being a great example.👍
love how you have your whole family involved in your projects! im in hvac school and your videos help alot- thank you!!!
What a beautiful family you have sir. I love the way you tap into your children's natural curiosity and fun loving nature.
King, this video is soooooo good and necessary! I Learned alot in a short time, I am in industrial maintenance and want to get more into electrical and motor controls..You and you're family are inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you my brother. Your dynamic insight on contactors and relays has educated me and assisted me trouble shooting at work.
Very well structured and presented! You are a natural instructor, teacher, mentor! A group of kids at the place you worship would love to have you teach them to build a crystal radio and then a one transistor radio and.... I was one of those kids and a mentor like you (Claude Meskal)was a huge positive influence in my life and career. All the best to you and the family my good neighbor!
That is the absolute best. "So what did you want to film?" 'I just did.' Thank you for sharing this light and touching moment. Very cool and funny. Great Job!
This video reminded me that one of the first "toys" i remember was a 4 pole single trow relay. My dad brought it home from work and i spent hours and hours playing with it, taking it apart and putting it back together. (Mostly unscrewing the screws and screwing them back in😅. The screws couldn't fall out, so it was child friendly)
IM WATCHING THIS 2 YEARS AFTER YOU MADE IT BUT YOUR WIFE'S REACTION WAS GREAT WHAT A GOOD SPORT YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME AND TEACH THANK YOU .......
I was wondering why the comments were so crazy positive and uplifting, more so than the already happy comments in most engineering channels, then I finished the video.
What a great channel. I really like the intro to the Kiwi Co ad. "If you want somebody to be interested in something, you have to inspire curiosity".
I've been putting together some Legos and Arduino parts to build some robots with my cousins girls, and this will be a good quote to keep in mind.
it's awesome to see a dad bring the whole family together on projects. Very inspiring...well done sir!
She is priceless…you two are. Thanks for bringing her in on this video.
I find the information on relays to be just what I need today as I need a shut off switch for a VFD I added to a 2 horse 220 volt grinder. Jeremy to the rescue! I know I need a relay to control the larger switch. Thank you my friend.
EE student here! currently a sophomore, thanks for inspiring me to continue learning more and more.
I looked at your video not to learn how a relay works, which I already knew) , but to see how you explained it in laymen's terms and found your demonstration complete. Thank you.
"I can't describe a short circuit, but i know it when I see it." Great video, relays are an awesome electrical component, very important, they're everywhere.
I want to give you thumbs up for your sponsorship. You tie it into what you actually do.... you're not a scruffy guy selling shaving gear... thanks for that.
I sure hope that you're a teacher, because I always learn things when I watch your videos! Keep up the great work!
+1 Totally agree, he should at least apply to be a part time trainer in some electrical company, he has a strong and assertive presence and explains stuff that even a kid can understand.
he's an online teacher at minimum.. He taught you right?
I love hearing people explain how things work . Especially folks like this who actually know what they are talking about. Thank you. You doing a good thing.
I just fell in love with this engineer! You can see the excitement in his eyes as he explains this stuff and every concept is explained and integrated sequentially. I could have watched this video with no prior knowledge and come out being able to teach this stuff. Really really impressive Sir Fielding! :D Thank you!!
My only prior knowledge was about the electromagnets lol
Jeremy does a good job of breaking down the mechanics of things so that anyone can understand. And he seems like a great guy. So much enthusiasm for what he does. He would be the best neighbor to have. I could hang with him in his shop all day long.
(You just secretly filmed me?!) I love you.
That exchange was precious.
Thank you for clearing up relays, that was awesome... And I totally understand now how to incorporate one into my solar charged battery and inverter powered boat air conditioning system.
Cheers!
Great video Jeremy. Brushing my old degree off after spending time in unrelated field. Engineering is my passion. Thank you so much.
Not short circuit. It's a Load. Impedance of the wire is controlling the Current flow. Coil Resistance impedes the current flow. Limiting said current. Do I get a Gold Star ?
So if the current is high enough to melt the coil wire, would it then be considered a short circuit??
Simply amazed on how you explain everything, I am a mechanic for 20something years, recently moved to the electrical side of maintenance, thank you for the video.
Boy has that lad got a super future with a dad like you
I feel smarter, and probably am, for having passively played this video. Great explanations with concise communication. No ambiguity.
2:20 Jeremy Fielding: "imagine having a switch like *this* on your dashboard"
Colin Furze: Who needs imagination when you have reality?
Don't think you all know everything. I've been working on electronics, robotics, home electrical, HVAC, and I've had my ASE certifications as an automotive technician for 36 years. Jeremy has taught me things that I didn't even know until I started watching his channel. This guy is fantastic. Don't ever think you know everything, because if you keep an open mind, and stop thinking you're the best thing since sliced bread, you'll realize that there's plenty more things to learn out there.😎👍💯
The problem with trying to learn about technology is the presentation. This video was clear, simple, and had great examples. Now I've got to watch them all...
It’s tough for me though too cus I’m unintelligent
@@AnxiousCowboy 😂
Man that shop dust collection system that uses the tools' power to activate the corresponding solenoid is ingenious. You are the man!
You are a good teacher, today is my first time seeing you chanel. Very interesting. I feel like flying. Thank you very much for this wonderful show.
Thats awesome everyone showing interest and acknowledge your hard work and creativity ...key to why this man sleeps beautifully at night...your welcome
You are the best, the only channel I watch asap. This could be three different videos but in particular, if you could pull out your Amazing Randi meets engineer segment, we could get it up voted and do some good. Thanks either way, you are a great teacher.
great video i hope ur kid know how lucky they are to have you teaching them this stuff i love how happy ur wife got with clamp beautiful family
You and your wife look so happy together, consider yourself a lucky man!
Beyond your advance knowledge of electrical theory, Your on call knowledge of power control and motor control components, their associated rating, and applicable usage is impressive. Relating parts from everyday house hold items to explain key concepts…These are quality educational videos. I’m a maintenance technician, I work in manufacturing for a company in Texas…the company uses Italian made machinery…terms are different, and upper management and production associates are ESL, these concepts seem to click across all spectrums when electrical control components and systems can be related to things people used in everyday life. Even at the industrial level. Just listing all the ac and dc motors and their controls in a kitchen seems is eye opening to people. Thanks for the video.
You are the dad I want to be, thanks for inspiring me!
Great video. I'm a retired guy taking an apprentice electrician course for my own edification. The course uses Pearson textbooks. Painful. Your video on relays and contactors put the way-to-detailed text into perspective. I also am blessed with three granddaughters, two are of age (5 & 8) who like to do projects. I will shop Kiwico for project gifts. Both their parents are engineers and prefer to have the kids doing thinking projects vice screen time. Thanks!
Is it a short circuit? Technically no, because the coil is acting as an inductor, so the battery's anode is hooked up to a reactive component and not just it's cathode.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent job.
I have never scribble to ANY site, but yours is well worth subscribing to and watching.
I do not know how anyone could give a thumbs down... They don’t know anything.
Barry
PS: I’m an EE and ME
5:25 short answer “no”... DC on a coil is a short circuit but the coil has some resistance so no, it isn’t short circuit
agreed. Technically is is a short or called shorting the coil but its also completing the circuit so no?
i.e the resistance of the coil isn't changing. No alternative path with less resistance is possible (currently) so no it isn't a short circuit, it is simply completing the circuit.
from what i understood, its not a short circuit because its doing something useful, its traveling along an intended path and is not accidental
why would DC be called a short circuit on a coil ??? so AC on a coil is not a short circuit ??? explain please...
A few ohms is still a short circuit. If you have a transistor that's gone faulty between emitter and collector and had a reading of a few ohms it would no longer be an electronic switch an would fail as it would just be closed at all times, no longer needing the base current to close the switch as it has gone short circuit. 👍
Some time ago I was working on concrete equipment and noticed there were nonfunctional vibrators on the sand, aggregate, and cement bins. These were powered by air but controlled by switches. I really didn’t know what I was doing but we took it all apart cleaned the components as reassemble. It worked. The simplicity of these in how they are constructed makes it more magic and harder to understand because something that seems this complicated can’t possibly be that simple. It’s incongruous and counter intuitive.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SIR. I watch a LOT of sponsored content on you tube but i dont watch a lot of the portion where the sponsors get their say in, i.e. the part where the influencer (thats you) says their advertising schpeel. BUT i did watch you talk about kiwico, and didnt even know it till it was done. I mean, sure..i heard you say that you were excited about your sponsor, but then i got caught up in what you were saying, how you said it and the fact your family unit was featured in it and i must say that you did a great job.
What? did you think you were about to read a rant? some negative troll based opinionated lecture? I used a technique that i have used for a long time to get and hold your attention... its a little trick that i havent seen anyone else do except my mentor and Art teacher from 7-12, and YOU. nice work on the dont touch button... My teacher would write in big letters on the board "DONT READ THIS" and then in between those words he would put the real message. and then really give us the business when we would have to use the info for our project or whatever that would make it clear that we DID read it. Good hearted teasing cn sometimes bolster a shy persons confidence but it takes a master, something i suspect you know as well.
Keep up the good work and when i can afford to feed myself AND pay rent again i will definitely patreon you.
thanks for being you! beautiful family!
You all are so adorable! I'm here because I always learn so much. Watching you and your family is the best, though! Thanks, Jeremy AND family!
Wow, you've got power man! What a thoughtfully delivered message and on top of that an ad that is enticing and doesn't grind your ears red 👏🏼
Just discovered your channel and enjoying every bit of it.
Love that you brought your family in this video, brother.
Mrs. Fielding - "why you gotta mess with me?"
Jeremy - "because it's so fun!!" LOL awesome answer!!😜😝😂
curiosity is great but i like the way you make complicated systems or concepts simple
5:28 Hmm, it looks like there's a lot of wire in that coil; seems more like a long circuit to me :P
the wire has resistance -- few ohms at least--, so not a short-circuit
A few ohms is still a short cicuit. If you have a transistor that's gone faulty between emitter and collector and had a reading of a few ohms it would no longer be an electronic switch an would fail as it would just be closed at all times, no longer needing the base current to close the switch as it has gone short circuit. 👍
@@SlyerFox666 Depends on what circuit you are talking about. The starter circuit on a car should have less than 1 ohm resistance (let's assume 60A at 12V, according to Ohm's law this would mean a resistance of 0.2 ohm).
In my opinion, it's an inductor therefore not a short-circuit. Another way of looking at it is if the path the current takes is shorter (less resistance) than the intended one, then it's a short circuit. Although that's still not quite right I dont think.
@@brandy1011 When you say starter circuit are you talking about an electronic circuit or just the actual wire ? Just in most DMM or even an old school avo meters good luck getting a reliable reading at .2 ohms without some pricey equipment. I used to have to measure the contact points between terminals for equipment used on the grid with equipment that could measure down in the mOhms and it was a beast. I'm thinking your talking about just the wires, if your figures are correct then it would make sense if your pulling a minimum of 60A CCA on an engine to start it up. The cross sectional area on that cable would be fairly thick reducing the resistance, as you want to deliver that full 60A to the motor you don't want much resistance so you want to get it as close to no resistance or short circuit as possible. So yea I'd say any thing from .1 - 1 or 2 ohms you can easily class as a short circuit. I think it's easy to forget everything has resistance, capacitance and inductance, there is no perfect resistor at the end of the day so you have to either think in ideals or reals.
Nicely done, I've been involved in electric AC / DC for 60+ years. I found your way of explaining how it works to be 1 of the best, and easy to understand for the novice.
I'd love to be this guy's neighbor and nerd out in that garage!
Imagine finding this guy in your garage
This guy is great. He brings excitement and joy to his videos which make them entertaining in addition to educational.
15:25 Sneak filming the wife😂💖
bravo Jeremy this is the BEST show you have created,from Family included to the scamming, i have followed you for some time but even your content gets held down, i started 10 years ago relearning
"No, really. My dog ate my homework!"
Steven Korner 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
IKR LOL
You are so good at explaining things. Lightbulbs were going off constantly in my head. Thank you so much!
you are by far the best youtube engneer there is. like hands down the best.
Love your ability to explain in layman's terms. Ive worked as an electrician on and off my whole life, I know how to make it work. I went back to school for the nuclear technology program, even with that, ladder logic is still confusing when it's applied to real scenarios. Even more so is motor control shares symbols that mean different functions from PLC ladder logic. I work doing industrial maintenance and have to troubleshoot; PLCs, relays, solenoid, limit switches, step-down/up transformers.
I'm always learning, but even though I may not always understand the "why" I am pretty good at figuring out the "how" so I keep things running. Again your very talented at communicating the "how". Your wisdom is much appreciated!
Your kids do not have idea how lucky they are to have such a inspiring, kind, motivating, patient, and easy to learn from father to teach/educate them.
I'm in my early 40's and just love your videos. Thank you so much for your time and expertisee in explaining things so well.
Father of the year! You've got such a beautiful family.
It's embarrassing to admit how much I learn from this, as I work in electronics/ high voltage control systems ..... Great job ...fills in a lot of blanks
To ALL the positive comments about you, your family, and your skill I say “the same times 3!! I already knew most of what you explained, but still loved hearing how you teach. Now, a comment about solenoids, etc: years ago I worked with water treatment systems, and designed some special valve configurations. (I’m not a real engineer) Some people used solenoids to open and close water valves, but the problem was that to hold a valve open, required constant power to the solenoid. Power consumption wasn’t much, but the solenoids tended to burn out from the excessive use. An improvement was to use motorized valves. They took a few seconds to open, but stayed open with no power until the motor came on again to close them. I’m thinking you might want to do a video applying this concept to electrical switches, instead of water valves? We also used motors to open water lines 1/8” or 1/16”. Diameter that then pressurized a diaphragm in a 2-3” valve allowing 100’s of gallons per minute to flow. The tiny line works like the low voltage line, opening a high flow valve, instead of a 240v switch. Although pressure was still needed on the small line to keep it open, it didn’t consume water, but held it open with (static?) pressure. VOILA!! Same concept as your air activated system for your dust collector gates! Maybe I should have watched you video about that system before writing this, but I think it would be great if you do a video comparing the use of air pressure, water pressure, and electricity to open “relays” . Electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Keep up the great work!
You have no idea how happy seeing you and your family teach me things so deftly. Thanks brother.
A+ dad. The best thing you can teach your kids is critical thinking and problem solving. Handling of money is also important, I wish they would teach these in school. Kids are so unprepared for life after graduation.
you and your wife laughing together is so wonderful and cute. good for you guys
If anybody really wants to learn something, and they're new to electronics & magnetism, Jeremy Fielding is where you need to go. I have yet to find a more clear, and concise way to simplify, and explain electricity, magnetism, and then how he does in this video. I mean, you will learn this shit in 5 minutes with this guy. Fantastic video for the newbie. Keep up the good work, Jeremy. Don't forget to make some cool videos for the experienced technicians like us, as well. Can't wait to see what you're going to cook up next. Ty buddy 😁
Thanks for this and all your great videos. Regarding your question, it is a closed circuit, the coil has some resistance that reduces current to a safe level. A short is also a closed circuit but the current exceeds design limits, usually caused by a fault. Regarding relays- some other terms. Slow to operate and/or slow to release, the addition of a capacitor across the coil can do this. (diodes and resistors can modify results). A closed contact is also called a make contact, open-break. Contacts can be arranged to be make before break and so on. Some relays have wetted contacts, they are sealed and contain mercury and must be properly orientated. When powering relays with electronics you should provide protection from the coils inductive kickback, you can use a reverse biased diode across the coil for this.
Surprisingly I just learned more about relays during this video than I did in 3 years of Auto-mechanics in high school. I could blame my teacher, but he was a great old man, so I'll blame hormones and horsepower instead. Thanks Jeremy!
