    Great Video, I'm just beginning my journey into electronics and learnt quite a lot. You explained it really well. In the modern CFLs, what do you think are the main failure modes? I'm considering if it's worth salvaging the coil and some caps off the boards of nonfunctional CFLs before I throw them out.

    • @xanataph
      @xanataph 8 месяцев назад

      I reckon it's definitely worth saving the high voltage caps. They usually have reasonable length wires on them. Also in many I have scrapped that have failed the transistors often still work.

    I never thought about how CLF's work! By the way, I am working on your brushed drone project but I have a problem. I don't want to buy the Radio transmitter due to budget issues as most controllers in my country cost around $60 to $80USD is there a way to control the drone with an nRF24 with my pc or phone? If not it's ok I can work with the Bluetooth modules but I want to use the nRF due to range problems. I have considered using the ESP8266 but I could not find a suitable code anywhere. Please, is there a way to use the drone from my pc or phone? or will I have to use the Bluetooth module instead(I do have the code for the Bluetooth module). Anyways thanks! I have learned a lot from you and will continue to do so.

      @@narayanbandodker5482 this was long before LED lighting technology was even available. CFLs have always been terrible quality, I don't know anyone who still has CFLs (even frugal people). There was a low-mercury mandate in fluorescent tubes: these fail prematurely. CFLs are now more expensive than LED bulbs.

    so the bimetallic switch inside the starter will auto disconnect when the lamp turn on only right? for example if the lamp did not turn on so the bimetallic switch inside starter will continue to connect untill the lamp succesfully turn on then the bimetallic will disconnect.
    am i correct?
