Sir, I am Electrical Engineering student. I study a lot of Theory, Physics, & Maths and answer a lot of Exam questions. But these AMAZING Videos show me the REAL LIFE Practical Applications of those theories. Thank you very much sir. Love from Malaysia ❤

Hi Jeremy I am 57, female and knew nothing at all about electric motors until very recently. However after watching two of your videos I'm thinking "this stuff is so simple! How could I not have understood this before!" lol. Thank you! We should all be taught this stuff at school, along with a lot of other practical stuff, but of course we are not! Love your relaxed delivery as well, you are great to listen to. Cheers mate from over here in New Zealand :-)

Nice that you actually made a nice, clean looking stand for the motor that you can speak to and educate your viewers. Nice job dude.

[benjaminrich]

Your practical home-spun experiments and demonstrations would make Faraday proud. :)

[timairborne]

You are a great teacher Jeremy. Thank you for making this series.

I've spent a couple of hours watching your videos and they are pure genius; you have a real talent. I've learnt more in this couple of hours than endless videos of wiring diagrams, technical explanations and so on. These really ought to be a must for kids schools. Well done mate.

I love the homemade test rigs. It makes me feel like I'm hanging out in Jeremy's workshop while he's explaining stuff.

Just started self-study electricity and, after watching 100+ well-intended videos explaining the core principles, I got to your videos ... and I am thrilled. Finally Thanks so much, you are an awesome teacher.

[gsegallis]

Hopefully you are already teaching kids this type of science - your style and hands-on is exactly what is needed in this country's schools!

Man... You just ripped the 4 years of my engineering in 30 mins.. awesome & Great work

[sparky]

What a talent you possess. Your teaching skills are 'top shelve'. I was able to understand the motor operation finally. I hope you provide other topics that you are also well versed in. Thank you for helping me learn something new.

[billybradley]

I really like the practicals examples you use in your videos. Seeing the insides of the motors helps me grasp the concepts of electric motors. Thx Jeremy

[ndamendment]

I'm catching up on your Videos slowly but surely ! I'm so Glad I found someone that can explain electromagnetic fields in a physical comprehension way ! Bravo Sir !

[balbirsinghgill]

Very best and simple way to explain..you should be a teacher..God bless you

[cokdnlokd]

From one instructor to another. I am sure you know that you are a good instructor. This particular subject is rife with seeming intangibles but you a very good job of tying it all together.

[tremaine]

Now this is good. Text book concepts demonstrated physically, high school learners would understand much better whatever they are being theoretically taught if it was continuously integrated with such demonstrations. As an Engineering student I appreciate and will fully utilise this.

[MrCrook]

I'm loving this series so much! This is great info presented very clearly.

[thelegacyshow]

This man has taught me in a couple minutes what a specialized electrics class in school did in two years

[sthembisomthembu]

We've got very bright people in this world. Thank you

[BenjieSean]

You are the teacher I never had! It's too late for me already. But I'm glad to understand it now finally.
