What is a fuse? How do they work?
In this video I take a look at various types of fuse, how they work and what’s inside. I talk briefly about some common types of fuse and how to use a multimeter to determine if a fuse has blown. I also open up a couple of different 400 and 1000 amp fuses to see what’s inside.
This channel is just getting started, and I’m open to video suggestions if there is a specific topic you’d like me to cover in the future.

    Would that ohm's still handle the power if it is in parallel? What I mean would the watts of resistor need to be the battery watts ( 12 v × total 14.5 amps ) or the devices watts R1 ( 12 v × 0.2 amps ) + R2 ( 12 v × 0.1 amps ) and more other resistors to handle the power of heat. Which way is where the resistor handles the heat watts?

    The EHT diode ( connected to the capacitor ) is useful if you have FOUR of these .... you might make a super high voltage bridge rectifier for various tube projects ( note : these contain several diodes , so they CANNOT be tested with a multimeter set to diode test ) ... the magnetron magnets , stuck on your fridge can store your big cooking tools ... or one on the end of a broom handle makes a good tool to pick up spilled steel nails and screws ( suggest screwing on a plastic aerosol lid , to avoid knocks , the magnets are VERY brittle ! ) ......... ( tried - n - tested ) ..... DAVE™🛑

    I have a problem that this may solve, however I need the timer to start when the switch is closed but the switch will remain closed longer than the timer runs. Will this still work? I can only see you depressing the switch momentarily but my situation requires the switch to be depressed, send a timed pulse of approx 1ms, then as it is depressed another timed pulse is sent from a different switch (two switches in one mechanical housing activated in sequence by one plunger - an old fashioned camera shutter release). The second pulse is timed by a simple mechanical contact closing in a clockwork device. The first pulse is to wakeup a digital capture device.

    I've got the first board and encountered the same problem where the 5v jumper isn't working on either side, is there anything that can be done, or is it worth attempting to repair? I'd been using a 5v usb, decided to try a 12v barrel jack plug with an arduino uni relay circuit and noticed the voltage read was 14 so figured something was off which is why I'm googling and stumbled upon this video, the 3.3 seems to be working fine after everything, the relay and 2 led resistors seem fine as well

    • @mikedance
      @mikedance 5 місяців тому

      I did some more testing, measured the leads on the 5.5 regulator to confirm that's the problem, the output voltage on the middle pin is the same as the input, I also measured the voltage from my acdc 12v output power adaptor, which was measuring 14 volts, sounding like certain adaptors might operate at a higher voltage and then output the advertised 12 volts when plugged into the actual device they were designed for, it's known as a no load voltage or something, would still appreciate any insights others have as I'm new to this whole world

    Greatt info. I'm building a diy synth with 4046,4093,40106,4017,4060 etc cmos chips. just worried about connecting my LEDs to the chips and harming the cmos. My 5mm green, yellow, blue, white are 3-3.2V and the orange and red ones are 2-2.2V. Will these harm my cmos chips. I'm getting some 470k resistors, so that should help. But would I need resistors if the LEDs are 3.2V? Also should I only connect these to the outputs of the cmos chips? Many thanks for a great video!

    Do you have a downloadable schematic diagram for this circuit? AAAAAGH, I really needed this LED circuit to work!! Following your instructions on the video, I put everything on the breadboard. The ONLY way I could get the group of 10 LEDs to cycle is to MANUALLY twist the variable potentiometer back and forth. The only thing the LED attached to the 555 timer would do is brighten or dim but never flash. I've tried around 6 different 555 timers, but still cannot get the LEDs to cycle on their own. If I remove the LED attached to the 555 timer I cannot get the other 10 LEDs to do anything. What am I doing wrong?

    • @joshuahawking6577

  • @Anton-wc7lb

    Hi! Thanks for the video, very cool! :) Do you know if there is a way to modify the circuit to make the LEDs give of a short flash instead of being turned on for a duration of time? Or in other words, shorten the duty cycle of the 4017 for when the LED is shining?

  • @Anton-wc7lb

    I am using a potentiometer to control and slow down the speed of the 555 and the LM4017 outputs. I'm wanting the LED's to fade when they come on and off and I am experienced with many different circuits that fade LED's. I have tried basic cap and resistor pairings at the LED's and also by using the 4017 outputs to drive bc547's transistors that turn on the LED's, again with different arrangements of caps and resistors on the base and/or emitter sides and I've also tried resistor/cap arrangements that can turn square waves triangle or sine, with and without the transistors. In all cases, I can get a very controllable fade out of the LED's but cannot get them to fade on. Is there something about the output of an LM4017 that will not allow it's waveform to change or for a capacitor to slowly charge? Or something else that I just can't figure out?

    These capacitors contain bleeder resistors inside them so they can bleed down the charge fully in probably a few minutes. So you don't have to leave it in storage for some time, but it's always a good and safe idea to always discharge them before taking them out.

    • @patrickdurees3025
      @patrickdurees3025 2 місяці тому

      thats ok as long as the bleed resistor does not go open circuit in which case the capacitor could still hold a charge so as the poster said always treat these as charged untill you are 100% certain they are not

  • @EthanDoezYT
    @EthanDoezYT Рік тому

    So the first module he showed technically had 3 power outputs right? I’m wondering bc I need a power supply regulation Arduino board with 3 outputs for several projects I have. Each module I’m using needs 5 volts to operate but I don’t want a ground loop and I need something to regulate it all. And this would be great for that, I’d be supplying the board (shown in the beginning of the video) with a BMS board that has a 12,000 mAh lithium polymer battery, and even tho the BMS board outputs 3.3v I’d be adding a buck boost converter to boost the output voltage to 6v and into the power management supply board. It seems like it should work but I’m not entirely sure if it will. But I still need 3 separate power outputs outputting 5v each. Do you think this would work?

According to the calculations: 12v/10000 Ohms = 0.006Amps; And then 0.006A*12V = 0.072Watts. While resistor tested was 0.25W - way more then 0.072Watts required. Why is it getting melting hot?
