Oh man I would give anything to have your brains. Watching your videos is like new world for me. I have to start learning some basic electronics. Keep up the good work.
Good video, you keep improving the way you explain progressively, before I had to pause the video and let everything soak in, but now it is just much clearer to understand!
Say I'm charging a 12v car battery with a step down DC to DC Converter using a 19v supply and I don't want any feedback to kill my converter, which value Schottky Diode do I use? Thanks
Nice, finally I understand why there are so many types of diodes... BRB spending even more money on components because I don't have any schottky diodes
Greetings all, just wanted to interrupt and ask a small favor. RUclips has changed their grading scale again and it is more important now than ever before to take a split second to press the "like" button for all your favorite channels. It is just one small way we can say thank you to these content providers for sharing their vast knowledge with us for free! I have seen many several of my favorite channels just stop uploading content or insert ads every 30 secs and all we have to do to prevent that, is simply say thanks by pressing "like." Please and thank you.
Combat engineer .... very well said my friend. I think it is the best way of saying " I like what you present and please keep them coming" to our favorite youtube channels .
George Kot I agree. completely. it takes lots of time to make great videos. and ppl still need to feed there self and their families. they can't keep making videos as often. and not make a living. RUclips should get off their high horse. and stop being such money grubbers ! and spread some of the wealth. its the ppl making videos that makes the money for them. without the videos . what would they have?
GreatScott! I completely disagree. Is not a matter of generator\consumer. A diode is a component and as all the impedances by convention V and I are opposite. You will measure a positive voltage drop if you put the minus of the multimeter on the cathode of the diode and the plus on the anode, when the positive current symbol indicates that the current is flowing from the anode to the cathode (of course electrons are in the opposite direction). Isn't it ? To convince me please provide literature reference. Same observation for Vout with arrow versus ground at minute 3:03. Best Regards. Pier Aisa
Talk about the tunnel diode. I'm old enough to remember it use to be in every oscilloscope located in the trigger circuit. The main problem with them was the short life span.
I've never even seen that symbol used for zeners! It might be worthwhile to also show one of the more common symbols at some point. Also, it seems more likely that you're protecting from excess gate to source voltages than gate to drain. Many mosfets don't even list a gate to drain limit; which makes sense if you think about it.
love your videos the way you explain everything is really good like i'm 14 years old and i even i can understand al your videos easy keep making videos
GreatScott! wow you reacted 2 minutes after i placed my comment thats nice it doesnt happen on that many channels on youtube and of course no problem for the feedback
useful usage of Schottky diodes (although normal diodes can work there too): Using a shift register to poll multiple buttons, you need diodes to prevent the shift register from creating a short to ground when multiple buttons are pressed.
This helped me with my YT channel content of modifying a black and decker light. The COB lights I wanted to use kept pushing resistance back to the voltage regulator board and shutting it off. Using 1 schottky diode per COB strip on the + side made everything work perfectly. Now the negative terminals get warm (50C). But the GSM6232 variable voltage regulator doesnt even get 45C. Thinking of using 3 more on the negative side. Thanks! (DruCanDoIt) is my future channel. Building content. Have 3 videos edited and ready to go so far.
Great Scott you are really great,it must be that Albert Einstein was from your family 😊 Super Video Bruder,sehr cool,ich schaue deine Videos mit voll Genuß 😀
Yet another great educational video mr. GreatScott:-) Perhaps you could make an in-depth video about the pros and cons of using schottky in battery powered Applications? For example: The lower the forward voltage drop, the higher the reverse current. Or why it's a good idea to place a diode across the pos. and neg. pins AFTER the fuse in your device. (If you reverse the polarity by mistake, the diode will act as a short circuit and blow the fuse. And it won't impose any voltage drop using this method) Perhaps you could also talk about: Gunn Diodes Shockley Diodes (not a typo) Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes Varactor Diodes (I'm not shure if i have mentioned them all) Thank you for your contribution to the tinkering community!
Bo Holbo Rasmussen - Those type of diodes are perhaps much less commonly used than these two. Don't forget about light emitting diodes and photo diodes....
Wonderful explanation. It's a pleasure to watch your videos. I do not know what you are doing in life but you should be a teacher. Would it be possible to explain in video the control of the liquid crystal segments? Supply voltage, consumption current as well as some integrated control circuits without going through arduino please. Congratulations, thank you from Belgium.
6:15 if you put one leg over the diode and the other leg under it and twist the res a little bit, you will create a better contact because the pressure is slightly higher. :D
Interesting symbols, in North America schottky diodes typically have little J's on the cathode end and zener diodes have angled wings. Are the symbols you used from a European standard?
In Europe, and most other states, the ISO standard is used. In North America you use your own symbols though some are the same. Resistors for instance you will note are different as the ISO standard is an empty rectangular box whereas in North America it's a zigzag
If you use a schotky diode with a coil, you can increase the amount of current the coil is energized with each cycle. I thought this was magic when I learned about it by taking apart an old massager. Low took the diode out of the circuit. High put it in the circuit. That was when I got really interested in how these components worked. It seemed counter intuitive before I learned about those sweet sweet coils.
the ihk exams for electronics professions like mechatroniker for example expect you to to calculate with an Izmin which is 0.1 times the Iz you calculated for the zener diode in this video to protect it from the eventuality of over current
So, I have a 33.6v #eSk8 li-ion battery for my electric longboard. I have a 120A latching relay to turn it on and off but the coil requiress 24v. I've used a voltage regulator to get the voltage down from 33.6v to 24v to work the coil, could I have used a zener doide instead? bearing in mind the battery would always be in an 'on' state to the 'centre off' switch I'm using to feed the coil.
Hello, I really like Great Scott, I just noticed that the direction of the voltage Vf, (which shown at 1:35 minutes in the video), is reversed in the diode design. Sincere friendships.
Great video, as always but the voltage drop arrow you've drawn at 0:17 has to be the other way around (assuming you take voltage drops to be positive ;)). Keep up the good work!
What bad behavior is instruction, why do not you propose that you no longer teach in schools with paper? For wastefulness direct your criticisms towards the industrialists. It's like diesel that is banned here in Europe, while the eight biggest container doors in the world pollute more than all the cars in the world but that we do not talk about and we do not impose depollution. It would be time to blame the real polluters who do it with impunity while we poor citizens are the cash cow of governments. Rest assured I do my best not to pollute and I am eco-friendly but there you exaggerate by targeting Great Scott.
didiersee do you perhaps mean container ‘ships’ not ‘doors’ . (otherwise it conjures up a wonderful picture of these large smoking doors plying the oceans of the world!)

Same here. I skip electronics classes often, and now i love it.
You showed in only 7:30 minutes what I took 2 months in Electronics class to learn. Congratulations!
Yeah, this should not have taken so long to explain.
Wish he was our teacher
Love this lesson, remember when I first learned all this back in the late 70's, it was so amazing to me. It's magic!
Never actually seen what happens when the "speed limit" on a diode has been reached. Well now I have.
Great and clear explanations as usual.
Thanks
Great explanation for the application of schottky and zener diodes. Revisiting this hoppy from a long time ago this was a good refresher.
Great video, keep up the good work. I really appreciate the detail you put into your projects and lessons.

Very informative practical demonstration of these two diode types
Perfect tutorial I gained a lot.
Many thanks
Great work being done on this channel. Been a real help in my studies. Thank you for posting.
Love the neat printing and circuit drawings! Very neat!
Very useful knowledge about zener and schottky diode...thanx garte scott....!
Great Scott is a fitting name. Great videos, thank you!
Thanks, Scott! This explains some of the problems I'm having with supplying power to my project, using a MD100 DC-DC converter.
I could tell this was an older video because he didn't say "I will see you next time!" with nearly as much enthusiasm.
Thanks so much for your detailed explanation and actual circuit examples.
This video does help me a lot.
Your explanations are so clear. Love it.
My life is complete now, great information with resitor and zener diode, i didnt know that and i blowed up a circuit :)
All of your vids are fantastic and help so much.
These Electronics basics videos are really helping me out.Hope u will make the next one about SCR's. Keep them coming and best of Luck
Thanks, but I already made one about thyristors.
Ok i will check it.

This is really helpful for my oral exam on tuesday.
So, the channel is called "great Scott!"
That begs the question... When are you going to build a Flux Capacitor Dr. Brown?
Very good intro for new comers. Keep up the good job.
Great vid as always!

*Scott* you are *Great*
Minute 1:38 By rule and convention when a current flow in one direction the voltage drop is in the opposite direction. Regards
No, that would be a generator. Consumer have the same direction for current and voltage.

The S diode symbol (the one youknow I think) is the symbol for a "breakdown" Zener-diode, the one used here is for a "knee"voltage Zener-diode.....
