Electronic Basics #38: True, Reactive, Apparent & Deformed Power

The moment you realize that GreatScott in not about letting LEDs blink in fancy patterns anymore.

I love the fact that this video touched the subject of mathematics within power electronics. Don't shy away from mathematics, it ain't boring. Most hardcore fans are either way engineers, students or technicians. You could make an entire series about practical application of mathematics, it'd attract attention.

1st time watching this: I can't understand ANYTHING!!!! 3rd time watching this: ..........OK! now I get it! It just really shows you that with mathematics (especially when dealing with complex numbers) you have to really study these things again and again and again! Dude! Keep up these videos you are incredible at making these formulas look 10.000.000 times more tolerable than my mathematics courses in UNI :)

Fantastic! 😃 But now I'm lost. 😐

This video came just in time, i am a first sem Electronics engineering student and out professor started this topic last week, if im not wrong the german words are "Scheinleistung, Wirkleistung, and Blindleistung" . this is one of the things i love about German language, some words are very self explanatory, Leistung means power Schein = Apparent Wirk = Working / Acting Blind = Blind Electronics engineering so so difficult but man it is fascinating, the difficult part is the flood of knowledge which is unleashed onto your brain every week. like it took 1 month from "What is a risistor" to "Phase shifted sinusoidal alternating current waveforms and fourier transformation"

Great Scott! Make a video about "safety capacitors" and how "safe" they are

I am so happy you make this videos with such a high quality of info an video editting, by far the best channel of this topic, flawless explanation

That "true power" at 2:00 was so beautiful! Almost song like.

Best ever explanation of reactive and active power I have seen in 4 years of my engineering. Thanks a lot man :-)

Thank you. Informative as always!

All these years with electronics and now you explained this so that even I got it. Wonderful, Thank you!

Pretty straight forward and intuitive for a basics video on something most people don't know about

Wow Scott this is really a great video on the subject. I can't wait to see more videos on these more advanced topics

This was really great video! However I must admit that I had to pause the video to think about it a few times but that is also great, it's a sign that you actually learning something new. Thanks for really great videos, good work!

This is been the bane of my existence since I began as a power electronics technician. It requires more information input than any other pay off my job.

Those video should be shown to student in class for fast reminder before starting a new chapter or something, very short and on point. Great job !

I'm a first year engineer and I absolutely can't wait to start learning this stuff, it's so cool to me

I really appreciate these kinds of videos. Quick, concise, and informative. Reactive power is kind of a pain to understand, but I think you nailed explaining it. On a side note, I need to get that multimeter XD.

The way your explaining is too good. Great Job

Thanks for the video. Great and correct information presented in a good way. Easy for beginners . Waiting for the next video
