This is the perfect for children and those DIYer's still new to electronics to introduce them to how transistors and capacitors can work together. I love how you made it so very basic starting from a manual switch! I had tried to explain how capacitors and transistors work to my kids but I'm afraid I did not really reach them. I wish I thought of something so simple and basic as this! Or I wish I seen your video sooner so I could show them lol. Thank you, very useful video!
Great video. I really like how you explain common electronic circuits in a mechanical-electrical way. Very clear to see what's going on, rather than with solid circuits. I am curious what other circuits you can "mechanize" :)
Who really downvoted this? What is not to like. It's good information that most people can't explain so simply like lucid has done. Another great video Ludic.
Thank you for making this channel. I can tell you do it mostly because you love electrical circuitry but you share the knowledge you have with others. I would like to see you get more subscribers and support. Great job sir!
This is really good. I knew that this circuit works but could never quite see how. Your explanation and setup was so simple yet so clear that I finally caught on. Thanks.
That is great. You make really interesting videos. I teach an electrical maintenance Tech School program in MN and these are great ideas for class. I also install Solar PV systems and use DC - DC converters from time to time. Mostly 12V to 24v.
Jesse Palo I did this with a weak solar cell But I tried a different circuit no power came out and I made sure the solar panel worked and everything was OK except for the fact I was getting no charge no power = no pump Do you know what recommended solar cell I should use Its from a led flash light from the dollar store
Your problem is that solar cells require a special kind of charger to get the energy out. Since power = voltage * current, you want to maximise both at the same time. When you connect a load to solar cell, the solar cell voltage drops close to zero, so 0 * x current = 0. You need to pull very little current so that the solar cell voltage goes down around 20% from the maximum voltage you measure from an open circuit solar cell. It's hard because the voltage differs based on sunlight etc, and in practice you need a special charge controller. Look up Maximum Power Point Tracking and you'll find plenty of articles explaining it. :)
Thank you very much, I always enjoy your content. Could you explain how the charge pump of a microwave oven works since it only works with one capacitor (in a microwave it doubles the voltage of the transformer from 2200 to somewhat around 5000 volts to power the magnetron)?
in the first half of the phase it charges the capacitor trough a high voltage diode and the second half it is in series with the capacitor. this way 2.5 kv sine wave becomes 5kv half wave
Strange how you say your current passes thru capacitors, but current does not pass, only a weak charge before the caps load out. How doe current pass at all time thru the capacitors ? Current does not pass, only initially because they push the charge on the other side that is there already, but no current passes from the other side of the capacitor. How does it manage to pass in your schematic ?
Hitman Notoriety AC doesn't switch on and off, the flow of current changes direction X amount of times per second depending on the frequency. That's why you get a sinusoidal wave with AC.
can't we charge both of them in the same time? what would happen if capacitors charged in parallel from the battery and connected their output is connected in series? Cheers.
I seen on youtube that there is a circuit that uses a relay, and can switch back and forth by wiring the terminals a certain way...i think that would work here very well.
please help give me ideas how to double the volts using 2capacitors without transistors... i checked and copy the other created voltages doubler but it wont works in my mini project. i used dianamo motor 12v as a source of voltage then so on etc... waiting for your reply and the part two of this video thnks and god blss u.
Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks so much..............................................................................................................................................................................................................
You could use a relay and turn it into an oscillator to charge the capacitors many times per second. Other than that, really cool idea. I want to try it!
probably the first time in my life properly understood any circuit on internet, will give it a try, good work (y)
CLEAR AS THE FACE OF THE SUN.
I LOVE YOU. THANKS

Another great video Ludic.
It could be because he gets to the end, and the circuit doesn't work...
Thank you for making this channel.

Great job sir!
It would be great if you could show us how to use the transistors for switching, you explain things so well!
Yes we still wainting for that circuit !!!!
Elmer Salinas the easier way is ti use a microcontroller
Shredder woah, really? Which one?
Elmer Salinas i suggest you arduino uno
Shredder oh cool! I have one, I'll give it a try!
THANKS Dear Friend 🙏🏼 Very well explained 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks. The most important point of the subject is simplicity and clarity.
This is really good. I knew that this circuit works but could never quite see how. Your explanation and setup was so simple yet so clear that I finally caught on. Thanks.
Good one brother! Looking forward to the transistor switching video. Thanks.
Very tidy explanation - I now fully understand doublers - thank you.
This is great! You explain it in an easy to understand way.
Your videos are excellent at explaining electronics.
Thanks for doing these experiments. Now I know what a charge pump circuit does.
Awesome !!!!! Capacitors in parallel and series, switching !!!
Good way to visualize how it works!
Thanks for the clear demonstration.
very nice lesson !!! more like this please !
Really quite a good example.. Very good :) Thank you

Very well explained and demonstrated.!
Awesome way to explain it. Very good vid
Great tutorial brother,new sub

Lejf Diecks I've taken about 6 microwaves apart. Saving alot of the parts for fun. I'll have to look it up, not sure what you are talking about.
its single stage half walton-cockroft multiplier
in the first half of the phase it charges the capacitor trough a high voltage diode and the second half it is in series with the capacitor. this way 2.5 kv sine wave becomes 5kv half wave
John, thank you very much for your answer. Exactly to the point.
Harvey Alm its called being careful you idiot.... Im 16 and deaf, i was 13 when i played with MOTs. Never electrocuted
Very nice, easy to understand!
great explanation! thankyou
*GOD I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS* !!!!
Thanks so much!
Nice idea bro.This is Delon circuit for voltage doubling.
Should the DPDT switch be "make-before-break" or "break-before-make"? Thanks for the great videos!
This gives me some ideas. Great video.
This is quite a nifty design! And i could stack them to get a real high voltage!
👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝
thanks for sharing this it's really osm + like
great demonstration!
you have best way to explain thank
Nice Video !!
Strange how you say your current passes thru capacitors, but current does not pass, only a weak charge before the caps load out. How doe current pass at all time thru the capacitors ?
Current does not pass, only initially because they push the charge on the other side that is there already, but no current passes from the other side of the capacitor.
How does it manage to pass in your schematic ?
You are the best, Thank you so much
You need a transistor to flip the circuit on and off.
thanks friend. it's very clear
With a fast switch rate, it would look like it's perpetually on :) Thanks Ludic
The lights in your room turn on and off 60 times a second, giving the appearance of it constantly illuminated. 60hz....on and off cycles per second
Hitman Notoriety AC doesn't switch on and off, the flow of current changes direction X amount of times per second depending on the frequency. That's why you get a sinusoidal wave with AC.
Is there a way with similar principle of switching where you can divide high voltage?
Very nice! Very clear! Thank you. :-)
237 idiots watched this video and down voted it :) Great explanation Ludic Science and you hav a new sub
Thank you so much
Hi, any reason you did not use a current limit resistor in series with the LED, it would have stayed ON a bit longer.
Useful to learn electronic
Very informative! Keep going
Which transistor you can use instead of switches ?
awesome and visual explanation - thank you!
thanks alot... that's great.
can't we charge both of them in the same time? what would happen if capacitors charged in parallel from the battery and connected their output is connected in series? Cheers.
Nice! Thank you!
Very good!!!
What happens if there is no switch? Does it keep it charge always?
Good job
could it work if we use 12 volts battery to provide current for a 48 volts electic motor ?
Hey May i use transistor instead of switch method?
i love this video....so much
Good show.
I seen on youtube that there is a circuit that uses a relay, and can switch back and forth by wiring the terminals a certain way...i think that would work here very well.
Nice video
Could you show how you would make one with a solid state switch?
Why could you not charge the capacitors in parallel using diodes?
please help give me ideas how to double the volts using 2capacitors without transistors... i checked and copy the other created voltages doubler but it wont works in my mini project. i used dianamo motor 12v as a source of voltage then so on etc... waiting for your reply and the part two of this video thnks and god blss u.
Thank you.
You sound like Einstein !!
I removed one of the capacitors and still the circuit works but why?
Awesome, it works because capacitors act like tiny batteries.
how to change switch with transistor...i enjoy ure content to..🙋
perfect practical example !
I LOVE it I can't wait for the next eeeeeeeeee
Do the transistor tutorial!
Thanks man.
what happen if you replace the swith with a
relay
Can we use this voltage? For long time
Thank you very much
What is the principle of Zapper or mosquito killer?
Nice explanation. Although I thougth current flows from - to +.
great job
how to calculate for needed current?
great ideal, now i can create V+- with 4 bjt center reference ground without having to create a charge pump then split it again.
Where can i buy that switch that you use for this chargepump?
any electronics store
how about the Ampere?
Thanks! :)
arghh... I was waiting for the transistor as a switch explanation. Still : Good video, thanks
Yea same
What is the code of capasitor
how can we make this project with transistor do video about it please
worth video
Thanks
great video but you didn't brush away the eraser marks and it's triggering me.
😱
Awesome!
Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks so much..............................................................................................................................................................................................................
How do we decide how much Capacitance we need?
depends on load it connected to
You could use a relay and turn it into an oscillator to charge the capacitors many times per second. Other than that, really cool idea. I want to try it!
Cool
why don you just do it with transistor.
Hello cher ami super vos vidéo très bien expliquer thank you my freend
Ingenious... Man did you figure this one out yourself or is it some Tesla forgotten secret???
legend says ludic is teslas long lost love child
Mr Rishi The Cookie is he a half human half pigeon?
Check out the Cockcroft Walton voltage multiplier!!!
Thanks..
