    This is such a good way to teach this. You give intuition behind how it works, you show how the electricity flows through the circuit (which is awesome!) and then you show the waveforms with this. Your video could not be better, please keep making more like this because this is very rare in the electronics field! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Because when the fet switches off, the inductor wants to maintain the current flow. To do so, it becomes a source. Since current flows from plus to minus, polarity is reversed.

  • @gmcjetpilot
    @gmcjetpilot 2 роки тому

    Your solar example of lowering or raising volts to 12 volts is good. However there is another solar example. If the panels provide 19 to 20 volts, the battery controller may be more efficent at higher voltage (up to 30 volts). So boosting the 19.5 v to say 28 volts chargers at a faster rate. This is a problem I had with my "Power Station". A power station being a portable battery, with charge controller, inverter, usb ports and display to monitor charge and load power. With my solar panels connected direct I was getting 75 watts. With the boost converter in-line I went to 133 watts (this is max peak sun).
