[Chris-ndhd]

as an engineering student, this channel is a gold mine

[kingeezy]

As an Electrical Engineer. This channel is a great reference.

[aaronalquiza]

as a beginner in electronics, i love the small bits of easily digestible concepts. thank you!

[KastaRules]

It is is incredible how you manage to explain complex subjects in a very quick and simple way.
Thank you!

[danielsau]

So nice to have these quick informative videos that remind you stuff from time to time. Thanks a lot for the work

[TyphonNeuron]

These short videos are so good, clear, concise. Thanks.

We could have used YouTube back early in my military days learning electronics. You teach at a level a grunt can understand. And I ain't gonna lie you're reviving my interest in electronics that I lost a few decades ago. Good job. I haven't check every video but do you cover Ohms law and filters like a band pass?

[MDMAx]

One of these days I expect the Engineering Mindset to make a shortest video possible: "Today we're going to learn nothing. Ok guys, that's it for this video, continue learning or check out our previous video and I'll see you in the next one."

[matanpazi]

Nice video, would've been interesting to see a few other examples, such as the capacitor in series etc.

[brandonfarfan]

Nice explanation on capacitors. Thanks.👍

[AnthonyRose]

I recently started restoring pinball machines. Your channel is a great reference for me if I need a refresher on circuitry components. Thank you!

[Yoda_Gaming]

big help. currently learning the basic of AC power and capacitors have been my enemy. This video really helped explain some of the gaps in knowledge I had

[Speedblur_]

This video was short and i know that the youtube algorithm is fucked for that (or at least was) but this actually helped me prove a point quick and easy. Thank you.

[scootergirl]

Thanks to this channel and other like channels on YouTube, I don’t have to shell out money for another degree, but this time in electrical engineering

[mikechiodetti]

Thankyou for this video. It's informative and answers questions.

[maswarservis]

Very important information. Thank you for sharing

[YouTubeviolatesmystamendment]

A capacitor stores electrical energy all right that's it for this video

[redox]

Can we please get a detailed explanation of universal motors next? Thank you for your efforts.

[marcthenarc]

Got to admit that your videos about LEDs were much longer than that and they're, well, LEDs. A few examples on using a capacitor wouldn't hurt.
