By far the clearest and easiest explanation. Well suited to the interested layman.

Protip: Dont put your creditcard on the charging pad, It might kill it.

Huge knowledge in a few seconds,
Thanks buddy

Wireless computers! Time to get rid of these frustrating cables..

That was a picture of Wardenclyffe tower not a Tesla coil and a Tesla coil doesn't create a large mangentic feild by "creating sparks" it uses the spark gap in series with a capasitor to turn the electricity in the primary coil off and on at the right frequency so the secondary resonates a bigger feild at the same frequency. Just thought I would clear that up :)

Wireless electric chair? Lol, just kidding!

Love it dude, thanks for breaking it down.

Great video!!! I love the graphics, it's very original... the info is simple and concise; easy to understand! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Funny how this morning I was looking for something about it and then you posted this

[IAMJRAD]

Great job on your videos! They are really informative and awesome!

Wireless charging has to be one of coolest technologies ever. All you do is place your phone down on a small pad to charge it. Granted you may have to line it up just right, but it certainly works.

I already knew this, but I just love your video style, so I couldn't resist watching xD

[okhstorm]

fantastic video, great visuals and animations also

Uh, tinkernut, that "Nicola Labs" wireless charging thing isn't actually all that efficient. From my experimentation with crystal radios, the power coming into the antenna is pretty much in the tiny milliwatt range, doesn't really do much in terms of charging.

Liked it. Nice that you remembered Mr. Ørsted.

[MrHulshizer]

This is fantastic. Thank you! I will use it in my physical science and physics class

[MarioThaMonkey]

If YouTube was just a bunch of gatherings where people present ideas then all these geniuses in the comments would solve all the world's problems :)
I'm really glad that extremely smart people watch the same videos that i do. i just wish they would all get together and do something useful :/

The illustration of the magnetic field lines around the wire at 1:16 is wrong

[minkusmaz]

"...radio waves...carry the magnetic field." This statement is not possible. The radio waves can send energy and the magnetic field can send energy, two separate things. You can either power it from magnetic induction or from receiving radio waves, depends on your receiver. One sends from an electromagnet, the other from an antenna. Great videos!

Which video editor is used by him? Which software he uses to make that awesome animations and background design?
