I really enjoyed this video. I've been working with tube amps for two decades and finally am back in school for my EE degree. We just got through magnetism, transformers and reactance; and I just love watching you demonstrate how the equipment is used to verify the math, and how thorough you are with your math. You are a great teacher. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your interesting and enlightening video's. I have watched many of them, and now I am designing an amplifier from scratch, all be it with the guidance of your video's and also Uncle Doug's equally enlightening video's. Today I am working on the output and output transformer section where I was a little confused as I have a transformer (new) which has no information of input impedance. I am in Plymouth England and my voltage is higher but that is not an issue, Although I have not been able to work out the impedance from the video info, I now know the impedance because I contacted the maker and asked. Your video's get me thinking clearly, which is my point to this post. Thank you again.
Having "grown up" with analog instruments and slide rules, we learned to interpret approximate results as within tolerance. One thing I see a lot of with young engineers is the inability to accept measurements outside of the theoretical value as correct. They either blame the test instrument or the design as being defective. We seem to have lost the concept of "close enough". Great demonstration!
I know this is off subject but I have encountered problems with my computer setting too close to other electronics and have had glitches in the system. I think it was a magnetic field or it just happened coincidentally. always thank you for the videos.
+noahtheviking I don't know if you use a WiFi connection but as I am sure you know, the microwave oven and WiFi are both on 2.4 GHz. Could it be something like that interrupting your Internet connection? Maybe even a 2.4 GHz phone? Just guessing.
