Great refresher! I received my bachelor's in electrical engineering and now I'm finishing up my PhD in Comp Sci. This series is not only helping me recall all those things I used to know, but I'm also learning so many practical lessons that I didn't get from class. It's a great feeling!
Awesome tutorial! Keep them coming, I am actually beginning to get some basic understanding of electronics, thank you so much. I am 60 and this has always been facinating to me. My thoughts are, always learn something new every day, and pass it on. This is great grandpa stuff, keep our young children's minds entertained, and they are less likely to get into trouble.
No yelling, no screaming (i.e., something something ElectroBOOM), explained in a clam incremental approach, and that's what you call a great video. Thanks, learned a lot.
Man how i hate this, as Engineering student books were the only source 20 yrs back for us. and using web sites took long time to load on 64kbps on PPP and using search like Alta Vista, AOL etc.. and now, look at this video and instructors all around the world giving easy to understand, point by point simulation and educating kids all around the world for free via videos... Great Work; loved your video and work...
I agree, except when I was a kid in the 1970s there was nothing but buying books, or the town library (we haven't got that book, we can get it from another library, it will take two weeks...). No online, no modems of any speed. I found some old astronomy books from my youth (I was born in 1966) recently and was shocked at how little information they actually contained, and most of them had the same information as the others. A child today could learn more in twenty minutes on Wikipedia or watch instructive videos. These are wondrous times.
I am in the few % of kids who actually either understand a bit or do electric gadgets/connections, etc. Not that many of us either have: The Courage, Will, or just plain old know how. I am the age of 15 years, I've been interested in electrics since I almost got my self killed by touching the mains with a pin as a little child. I'm happy that all of this information is handed to us like an golden secret. It is quite sad to see that not that many of us want to spend an (min.) hour of researching.
Whoa! Tutorial that goes straight to the point, including coherent examples, flows perfectly, and a narration that is crisp clear. I think that you just wiped the floor with all other instructors and teachers out there. Not that you needed to. All of your videos are pure awesomeness. Thank you.
I haven't been to electronic classes in almost 20 years and forgot everything above just the very basics. After watching many videos and looking at different sites. This has been the easiest video to understand.
You know how long I've been arounx electronics and still didn't understand what you just explained perfectly in a few minutes! Great video! I subscribed.
Gonna just binge watch as many vids of yours as I can one day! Afrotechmods: the Carl Sagan of Electrical Engineering! :3 You explain concepts with such simplicity that it's amazing how complicated texts make these things seem! I salute you! Subscribed :)
I am an Electrical engineer. I've read butt load of books,listens to hours of lecture from our instructors; but this 11:20 mins lecture on diode is the best lecture in my life ever. Thanks and keep up.
Typed a big comment and lost it, grrrr You won me. I'd have chosen electronics for my engineering had such videos been available in my days. You make it look all so easy. Hats off to you. Please keep up the awesome work. You're better than university professors. Subscribed midway through the video. You've got me hooked.
You are a good teacher.. I admire you.. I am playing all your videos.. your teaching is simple and application oriented.. when I took electronics class.. it was all boring with the text ..I even tried to set my own e lab.. but I failed so moved on to Digital Image processing.. your videos pulling me back towards electronics..I wonder how you learn and explain like this.. I want to be like u... if you could, pls refer me with some good books,links etc .. Thank you for responding..
THAT was an AWESOME VIDEO! That's the way it should be done! The video has taken up 3 pages in my notebook (I'm in the learning/tinkering phase still) and now I FULLY UNDERSTAND what a bridge rectifier is, how it's made, how to build, all the components functions through the entire wave form and its benefits and limitations when applied to various types of builds/projects and when to and not to use one! 35 minutes ago I didn't have a clue what this "bridge rectification" alien technology was or what it was all about and now I feel way smarter because of an 11:19 video that I kept rewinding parts of and taking notes. Being smarter after a video doesn't happen often while watching RUclips! This is the gold standard of how/when/why/where electronics videos should be done. WELL DONE SIR! THANK SO YOU! YOU HAVE BEEN SUBBED! I hope the rest of your vids are just like this!
Really love your way of explaining. My engineering teacher who thought this concept couldn't get direction of current right for a diode. You are a life saver.

When I got my first HO train set for Christmas back around 1962, when I was 8 years old, it got me interested in electricity. In school I was able to learn math and algebra easily. I started getting books from the library about electricity and started designing circuits. I now have an electronics shop in my basement and an HO train layout that goes around the basement.
As a newbie hobbyist for electronics this is the excellent tutorial I ve ever seen. As a teacher I can't help stating that Not only you are an expert at converting ac to lower dc and smooting it you also do the same thing on info.As clear as possible Excellent job.
Damn, you are great at putting this information onto video. You don't waste a moment of our time and for someone as severely ADD as I am, I stay with every concept you express. I needed this type of well scripted learning video when I was young and ADD wasn't even a concept. Please keep them coming. With the video skills you posses you are well within the top 1% of educational videos out there...and top 0.1% of RUclips videos.
WOW!! I just stumbled across your video's... This is AWESOME!! I built an unregulated 12v power supply for an Alpine car head unit I was using in my bedroom for source (CD/Radio) back when I was 16 b/c I had no need of it anymore, and wanted to use it b/c it was small and had a remote. So I strapped it underneath a shelf, bought a transformer and bridge rectifier, cap.. soldered them together and there I had it. I've forgotten how to do most everything electronic now I'm 34. TY 4 the video!
Due to imperfections in the material, no two diodes are equal, thus their electrical parameters differ slightly. There will always be microscopic differences in the material density. The issue with putting diodes in parallel is that as they heat up, their resistance decreases. As a result, at one point, one diode ends up taking on a little more current then the other diode, resulting in it heating up even more. As you can probably see, this cycle will cause thermal run away causing that diode to eventually burn if you give it enough current.
I really have to say that most of my electronic engineering professors did not explain as clearly and concisely as you have here ... this is extremely well done.
Your Video has explained this to me well. You are better than all my electronics teachers put together. Your teaching was of such a high standard, you actually made me interested in doing something as a result. Thankyou.
Excellent videos! What happens when you run 2 diodes of the same type in line? Im not very good at this and at 55 Im just starting to dabble. Thank you!Also does the bridge rectifier still pulse?
The lowest you could get is probably a USB one. You'd probably need to do some tricks to lower the voltages reliably if you deal with high voltage, but usable for low voltage applications and 20MHz bandwidth on the low end. They are not as good as things like a Rigol DS1000 series, but cheap and probably enough to start with.
Fantastic, and I think this is just what people want to see. Real-life electronics, and explained in a very informative way and indeed 'bridging' the gap in knowlege in regards especially to 'wall-warts'. You should be a teacher indeed Afro!
Great video! As a senior in high school back in 1971, each student had to build a 12 volt power supply using the bridge rectifier. At the time I did not fully understand why a changing load would affect the output voltage. As a 1976 graduate of the USAF School of Applied Aerospace Sciences, it all became much more clear. 8-)
i am a mechanical engineering student. i don't know anything about electronics but after seeing this video i understood many things and i got interest in electrical site too. thank you very much for posting this video,
***** Perhaps You should have mentioned he would need a resistor rated at dissipating at Least 60 Watts. Based on the level of the question, He may not understand the amount of power(Heat) that will need to be dissipated by the resistor (Load). However, perhaps he is asking how to build a power supply that is Capable of providing 5 amps to a load that requests/needs 5 amps of current. In that case Barry would need a larger transformer capable of providing 5 amps AC, and he would need to be sure the diodes are rated at 5 amps or more and sufficiently large capacitors for the desired level of filtering. Thanks for replying to users who have questions. Kind Regards, Bob .
Thanks for taking your valuable time to share this with strangers like me. My Pops was an electrician, but he wasn't around much and when he was it wasn't exactly a learning environment, but I always wanted to learn all this stuff. I'm almost 50 now, and my Pops is gone, thank God, but I want to teach my son about this kind of stuff, so it was time for me to start learning. I've been watching your videos for about a month, and everything I've learned so far has not been bullshit, like sooooooooooo many others I've been checking out also, so I subscribed, and I hope that helps ya some. I don't have much else to give other than my sincere appreciation. I truly do, appreciate the fact that you shared this all, in a pretty not horribly boring kinda way, so Thank you Sir!!
Great Job, Thanks a lot I'll be watching this a few times, as well as your other videos. I'm teaching my little girl (7 years old) about electronics, but I need to really hone my skills. We did a flashing little Christmas tree the other day, & now she want's to make a flashing heart. When working with kids you never know what will really peak their interest, maybe it is this. But never the less I want to understand more. I'm an electrician by trade, so I have a good start. Well thanks again.
I'm Not an electrician. My dad was. He tried to teach me some stuff and the first thing he taught me was the bridge rectifier. Your explanation is spot on. I just wish I could wrap my brain around the rest of it. I guess you could call me " electron deficient".
Awesome video. Very clear and understandable. I'm currently building a dc power supply and this video helped a lot. I thought I had bridge rectifiers pretty much figured out but I never thought of it doubling the frequency. Thank you.
enjoy these video's, i went to devry electronics school many years ago and i can tell you you are a better instructor than some of the ones at devry.it could also have been my problem, i went to night school after a full day of work and it was very hard to stay awake and i did most of my studying in the laundromat washing clothes while my wife took care of the baby. keep up the videos.
This is the best RUclips video on Rectification I have seen so far. Clear, well edited and exactly to the point. Well done and I hope to see more videos in the future. For now I will enjoy going through the series 👍
I have been looking all over in UK Lancashire for hobby electron classes so I can learn about this stuff for my projects the on thing I can find is intense full time courses with qualifications and exams... I've been trying to find out how to build a PWM speed controllers for treadmill motors usually 180VDC 5amp because they are so expensive to buy. I've had to resort to reading info from the net and watching you tube videos, Knowing nothing about electronics I have found most of the information and videos I have watched really confusing... this is actually the first video I have watch that has made sense to me. Cheers
Another excellent video, thanks for taking the time do this. I ran out of money to finish my electronic engineering degree and I'm trying to learn on my own and it really helps!
Hey- That was excellent. Very well put together, and very easy to understand. It took us 2 or 3 classes, and 1 lab section to cover that same material. Thanks for the upload, and looking forward to future vids.
After watching this tutorial and the way you explain everything is just so understanding. I ahve never made a rectifier before but with what i have just seen i can. Fantasic video, all the best ray
wow, that was by far the most concise and understandable electronics explanation I've seen yet. thank you. I'm definitely subscribing for more. I'm new to circuit building etc and I feel I've been banging my head against a brick wall for a good 5 years now. learning but there's so many bad tutorials out there, it's way easy to get lost and frustrated. now I do understand converting AC to DC and I don't even think I'd need to watch it another time. Are you a teacher somewhere? If not, you should be. You're a natural. Thanks again. Looking forward to more videos :))
Just saw this video after trying to get 9V DC out of my Train Transformer running 5-15 V AC, Wow what a great lesson. I have blown up Diodes and Regulators because i had NO Capacitors in the circuit, great tutorial. THANK YOU, D
This is so GOOD!!! I have spend lots of time in the lab to try to figure out how it work, and you make understand the concept in just 11 minutes. Thank you so much for upload this video.
Great video! Im a novice guitar effect pedal builder and want to build units with power supplies. This really clarified that process for me. Thanks for posting.
These videos are amazing! I have learned so much! My parents are going to wonder why their 18 year old son is learning stuff on break instead of playing Halo! Thanks for the videos!
Excellent! Clear, concise, and 'in bite sized chunks', for our limited ability to understand the complex without an introductory education. Thanks to AFROTECHMODS we GET THAT EDUCATION! Thanks so much! Im learning what I always wanted to KNOW! Love Q-PID "SMOOTCH! N A BIG HUG!" (a girl) : )
Recently subbed and I am learning so much. I couldn't grasp some concepts from just reading. Your explanations are really helpful and easy to understand. Thanks!
You are an excellent teacher Sir. I knew some of this years ago, but this is excellent for a refresher course. Looking forward to trying out what I've learned here. Thank you
Not only is the information of high quality and clarity, your presentation and editing is top notch!! Is this just a hobby for you or are you a teacher or presenter of some sort??
great video. another side-note is that a bridge rectifier can also be used with DC voltage to start with, like a battery, on the side that the AC would be coming from. This allows the battery to be out in normally or backwards, so the positive and negative ends of the battery will always connect to the proper part of the circuit.

2 diodes in series will only increase your voltage drop. yes the bridge rectifier will output a pulsating DC voltage wave with less voltage ripple.

Copy Afrotech's circuit using a transformer with at least a 60VA rating (12V x 5A) with a 12V secondary and a bridge rectifier rated at 5A or more.

This is the best RUclips video on Rectification I have seen so far. Clear, well edited and exactly to the point. Well done and I hope to see more videos in the future. For now I will enjoy going through the series 👍
You've got my subscription! You explain it way better than those Indian professors at Purdue!
Good to see you back. We're doing diodes in electronics classes at the moment.
I have been looking all over in UK Lancashire for hobby electron classes so I can learn about this stuff for my projects the on thing I can find is intense full time courses with qualifications and exams... I've been trying to find out how to build a PWM speed controllers for treadmill motors usually 180VDC 5amp because they are so expensive to buy.
I've had to resort to reading info from the net and watching you tube videos, Knowing nothing about electronics I have found most of the information and videos I have watched really confusing... this is actually the first video I have watch that has made sense to me.
Cheers
Learned more here (about electric components and how to use them) from him than while earning my BSME. Excellent Teacher. I just subscribed !!
Another excellent video, thanks for taking the time do this. I ran out of money to finish my electronic engineering degree and I'm trying to learn on my own and it really helps!
Hey- That was excellent. Very well put together, and very easy to understand.
It took us 2 or 3 classes, and 1 lab section to cover that same material.
Thanks for the upload, and looking forward to future vids.
excellent video. An engineering student myself and I have to build one of these next week. You've got yourself a new subscriber
These are among the best tutorials I've seen on youtube for any subject!
After watching this tutorial and the way you explain everything is just so understanding.
I ahve never made a rectifier before but with what i have just seen i can.
Fantasic video,
all the best ray
Awesome tutorial!! Nobody has explained this stuff that clearly so far!!
best tutorial on youtube regarding AC to DC PSU
wow, that was by far the most concise and understandable electronics explanation I've seen yet. thank you. I'm definitely subscribing for more. I'm new to circuit building etc and I feel I've been banging my head against a brick wall for a good 5 years now. learning but there's so many bad tutorials out there, it's way easy to get lost and frustrated. now I do understand converting AC to DC and I don't even think I'd need to watch it another time. Are you a teacher somewhere? If not, you should be. You're a natural. Thanks again. Looking forward to more videos :))
All your tutorials are fantastic. You manage to really dumb down the tech talk. Nice work
Just saw this video after trying to get 9V DC out of my Train Transformer running 5-15 V AC, Wow what a great lesson. I have blown up Diodes and Regulators because i had NO Capacitors in the circuit, great tutorial. THANK YOU, D
I learn more from your videos than from 4 years of engineering school.
52 just starting. Your videos have been an eye opener for me. more,more,more! And thank you for your time
You really should have more subscribers because this is premium content
This is so GOOD!!! I have spend lots of time in the lab to try to figure out how it work, and you make understand the concept in just 11 minutes. Thank you so much for upload this video.
Great video! Im a novice guitar effect pedal builder and want to build units with power supplies. This really clarified that process for me. Thanks for posting.
This should be taught in schools because it's very easy to understand and it is practical too.
Your tutorials are absolutely excellent. You are a great teacher. I only wish you did more videos more often.
That was EXCELLENT, I have never understood it to this level of completeness. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic video. I have a severe learning disability and this has helped me understand diodes. u have a permanent sub. god bless u. and Thx u!!!!!
This is by far the best explanation I've found for begginers like me. Thank you! You clarified many of my questions.
Saludos desde argentina.
This very good. Fully technical in a simple straight forward way.
As an old timer radio ham its nice to get a refresher course. And learn too!
These videos are amazing! I have learned so much! My parents are going to wonder why their 18 year old son is learning stuff on break instead of playing Halo! Thanks for the videos!
The best version of basic electricity ever
Very clear and concise. I watched probably 3 different videos with a mild level of frustration because the explanation wasn't very clear.
Thanks!!
Excellent! Clear, concise, and 'in bite sized chunks', for our limited ability to understand the complex without an introductory education. Thanks to AFROTECHMODS we GET THAT EDUCATION!
Thanks so much! Im learning what I always wanted to KNOW! Love Q-PID "SMOOTCH! N A BIG HUG!" (a girl) : )
i learned more in this video than i did in 3 months in electronics class
Recently subbed and I am learning so much. I couldn't grasp some concepts from just reading. Your explanations are really helpful and easy to understand. Thanks!
you should have a tutorial in electronics principals. you make it fun and easy. you have what it takes to teach ! thank you,
You are an excellent teacher Sir. I knew some of this years ago, but this is excellent for a refresher course. Looking forward to trying out what I've learned here. Thank you
Not only is the information of high quality and clarity, your presentation and editing is top notch!!
Is this just a hobby for you or are you a teacher or presenter of some sort??
Man you're good. I like the mini lecture on diodes
great video. another side-note is that a bridge rectifier can also be used with DC voltage to start with, like a battery, on the side that the AC would be coming from. This allows the battery to be out in normally or backwards, so the positive and negative ends of the battery will always connect to the proper part of the circuit.
