These videos are incredible yaskawa... Also the presenter is amazing, his cadence and the timbre of his voice is perfect for these educational lectures. Very informative and EASY to understand presentation!

Only if 20% percent of teachers are half empowering as this presenter, world would be a better place. Analogies are superb as well " like the rest of us, follows the path of least resistance"

Just finished watching the induction motor video. I’ll be watching this next. The dislikes on these videos must be from the competition. Very education videos!

This is totally outstanding! Very impressed by the presentation. The contract is exceptionally layed out in a very simple way that even a novice like me can understand.

The video is well scripted and the voice is engaging. I just thought if you add sound effects to the futuristic graphics, it would make it that much more tangible.

Such a great deep informative video related to VFD. Nicely described VFD applications, benefits, functions and internal components. Really understandable English with good accent. Great video for Electronics and industrial electrician and also for EE students. Really enjoyed whole video. Thanks for making such a great video.

Great! The choice of words and the detailed information.... A perfect video for a beginner to understand VFD.

[zmarssojourner]

Thank you for the video.
At 15:08 you said, "Electricity...will follow the path of least resistance". Maybe you should rephrase it to say, "Electricity passes through every path possible even if the resistance is high or low. The amount of current through each resistor will be different."
