Simple explanation of a generator

Using a fun teaching prop engineer Rudy Dehn explains how DC and AC generators work. This generator shows the flow of energy in one direction or both + and - using an LED and small bulb. See a simple split-ring commutator and slip ring.

I’m 35, no real knowledge whatsoever on how machinery works. But this is incredibly easy to understand.

[@bigbankhank9337]

All these fancy videos confusing me, something nice and simple finally straightens things out! Thanks!

[@slowjamcdub]

Broke down as simple as possible! Very clear to understand! Amazing job!

[@GreatBritishGamers]

Such a clear and visual explanation, thank you.

[@Hambxne]

Now why couldn't my teacher have just shown us this video instead of incoherently babbling for 3 weeks

[@slowjamcdub]

Thank you!👏👏

thanks this was way simpler for me then the other videos i could actually understand it

This was so helpful trying to pass college physics. Thank you!

Nice to see the old Genius!

RIP this legend passed away in 2021.

Man, that old man.. id wanna give him a hug, but id fear (just like any other normal person would react) "get the hell off me" not thatd id just randomly hug the dude

Fabulous video !!!! great !!! hats of to you sir

[@kd1s]

It would be cool to see a scope attached when it's in AC mode.

[@likeaturtledo]

Very helpful, Thank you!

[@thedojoclub]

thank u for this!

[@henrytzuo8517]

Thank you !! Great Video!!😄😄😄

[@tonyfox6856]

You can change from dc to ac by moving the contacts? So I’m guessing that contact rod has a separation. Of how does that work?

[@ArtSchool0011900]

Thank you 😇💖

Best video of this topic. Thank u

So helpful✨

After hours of searching, an old man explained it in 2 min. What the fuck

[@johnwalker3742]

Dead🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀so true!!

[@srijanunakal8896]

nice information

[@MatthewParkenSoanoNoVa]

Could u make the wire rub against the magnet by moving the pulley sytem with magnet propulsion like two opposite magnets constantly pushing each other on a track while pulling the crank making the pulley move that is generating power from rubbing against the other magnet and would it be possible to make a magnet propulsion home genarotor that can produce around 30 kw a day and and is built to last to continuesly produce energy for a home and maybe put the generator underground to muffle noise pollution and could u make it affordable and good quility.

[@ahmadazab7853]

i don't understand the circuit. why are the leds direction dependent?

[@clebfunny]

Is there any way you could provide a list of the materials you used to make this?

[@paulnathanielsmith]

Finally I understand

[@luiscamilo2827]

Do you guy have any instruction on how to make one ?

[@johnnygarcia7297]

This THE video🔥

[@joelhewitt6497]

This has me confused. I thought all generators required some type of excitation on the rotor coils?

[@GTChow]

This is because in this video he is using a permanent magnet, there is no need for excitation in this case. The excitation is only when using iron or steel wound in wire to turn it into an electromagnet at will.

[@muhammadasifiqbal1538]

Great

[@kostelgerollari9258]

How work a generator with stator coil ???

[@POLISNecro]

Can we buy this please ?

[@GuestCount]

what branch of science does electricity belong?

[@flaplaya]

If only people understood the magnitude of the energy density created from modern powerstations...

[@hassansardar5148]

Simple and easy explanation

[@mikelemon5109]

Why you all generator guys don't put a capacitor in parallel with the led to smooth the voltage?

[@jedward637]

because it doesn't need one

[@saiaravindkondapaturi2814]

How to make this

This is not a good explanation. There is no principle explained.
