This Invention Got Nikola Tesla Inducted Into the Hall of Fame! : Jeremy Fielding  

Dude this made me feel like a kid in all the right ways.

I was a Physics Laboratory Technician in local schools for decades. This is hands down the best demonstration of electromagnetism I've seen taught.

You know the saddest part of this all? Tesla died alone and poor. He made his design free for everyone to use for the betterment of humanity and got literally nothing in return.

Got "inducted" into the hall of fame. Wow, that's some poetry.

Great series. I'm almost 75, and still learning as much as I can. Thank you Jeremy. When people stop wondering and learning...SEND FLOWERS.

I went to school in New York City in the 1970s where amazingly, my school was in a district that still used DC power from the area's substation. On the days where we watched an educational broadcast on TV, the TV was rolled into the classroom on a cart with the TV on top and an inverter on the bottom. The inverter was used to turn the DC power to AC power. The case for using DC power was strong in New York because of elevators. Elevator motors are DC motors because they need to run in two directions. AC motors turn in only one direction. When substations converted to AC, elevator systems has to employ a converter. This converter was an AC motor (about 20 HP) that was directly coupled to a DC generator. The DC generator supplied the DC power to the elevator motors. These converter motors were so big that they took time to spin up, so they were kept running even when the elevators were idle. There was an idle timer that would turn them off after maybe 10 minutes or so. So late at night if I called for the elevator, I could hear the converter motors spin up first before the elevator would begin to move.

Clarification: The history channel asked me if I would make a RU-vid video about revolutionary engineering, related to their series on engineering coming out this month. I think their show is awesome, but I am not "in" the show. 😀 Sorry about the confusion if that wasn't clear. You should definitely watch the show if you can!

I'm an electronic engineer, and already knew *everything* that you went over in this video, yet I still watched it to the end, and totally enjoyed it. *VERY* well done!

I've been an engineer for 30+ years and this is by far the best explanation of induction motors that I've ever seen. Thank You Jeremy for your watchable and informative videos. I hope these motivate new generations to understand the physical world and how it works!

I'm an electronic engineer working in the field and I still feel like a kid when I see videos like this! Great job!

its so odd, he speaks so calmly and clearly but his excitement is so real and genuine its infectious

Who is this Jeremy Fielding, why is he so easy to watch and entertaining? This video was fun and I learned something. Thanks man!

Your excitement is infections. Now I understand why induction motors last so long.

Best explanation of electric motors I have ever watched.

The logical, 'no step left out' way this was presented matched my brain's learning needs perfectly.

I hated EVERYTHING about school, but I could watch Jeremy's videos all day and actually learn. Thanks Jeremy!

I'm a retired power engineering and have commissioned countless induction motors and generators of all sizes up to many megawatts and still find this video about the induction motor interesting and entertaining. I have also watched part of the series on the history channel and found that very good viewing. Jeremy - you are a great presenter.

My first degree was a professional diploma in Electrical Engineering (from the National Technical University of Athens), and then got to study Computer Science where I am still active today (as researcher/instructor/consultant and developer). Of course, because of my training, I am very well aware of all the principles and applications of electro-magnetism. Even though I didn't like the electrical machines courses that we were taught as undergrads, I really loved your presentation! Congratulations for this beautifully made video that has "soul".

As an electric motor mechanic and winder, I absolutely love seeing videos that celebrate how important electric motors are. If they disappeared overnight, society would crumble lol.

Jeremy Fielding is the kind of "influencer" we all need. What a great teacher you are. I'm glad to see your success. I wish I had you for a neighbor.

Please tell me you're still teaching kids. In this day & age, we NEED people like you!!! God bless you

I would have loved to have a teacher like him on my high school times. Not only teaching fundamentals in a super magnetic way, but providing excitement for knowledge.

And that alone is worth becoming an engineer. "Magic" explained and demonstrated by experiments that you can easily replicate and verify on your own, step by logical step. Wonderful.

I am 70 and sincerely wish this guy was my science teacher at school. Brilliant guy. Thank you Jeremy

Mr. Fielding, you are the professor EVERY aspiring engineer and science nerd should have in school! You make these concepts easy to understand and fun to learn. I recommend your channel to every parent and young child I know who expresses an interest in science, engineering and building stuff. Keep up the great work!! P.S. The History Channel could NOT have picked a better presenter for one of their engineering videos. That is AWESOME!!

This is science, engineering, experimentation, teaching, fun and love all bundled together ! Thank you Jeremy. You are a Gem.

This is my partner's account, but I just wanted to comment how good it is to see somebody genuinely excited about what they are doing. Great job my man, bloody love it.

I've been into electric motors and magnets since I was in elementary school but I never took the time to learn how an induction motor works. I really appreciate your video for finally teaching me, thanks! Love your passion, too...keep up the great work!

I’ve been fascinated with magnetism for most of my 75 years. Read most of Tesla’s books and books about him. Pure creative genius. Magnetism is the mystery behind induction. I keep guessing and learning. Thanx for your series.

Im a nobody, but just wanted to say this very understandable, concise video without silly animations, intros and noisy background music was a serious breath of fresh air. Keep doing what you're doing. I subscribed. 👍👍

I clicked onto this video not expecting to learn much more than I already knew. Not only was I unquestionably wrong in my judgement, your explanations were impeccable and your enthusiasm is frighteningly infectious. Great stuff Jeremy!

Jeremy I'm so proud of you. I remember when your channel was just getting started. You came from humble beginnings and your passion and energy and work has brought you to an amazing place. I still love your videos. I love your enthusiasm and the way you break things down. Please keep up the good work. You are and will influence a new generation of scientists and curious young minds.

Every child, and I mean every child, should be REPEATEDLY introduced to this man's lectures. And I mean Mr Fielding's.

You thanking the History Channel is ironic. They are the ones who should be thanking men like you that take the time to share your knowledge and educate others. Keep up the good work. Your style of teaching is great, after decades with a basic understanding of how things work all come together and I fully grasp the concept when you actually show the visual presentations. Maybe I knew some of these things all along but your models definitely solidify my understanding. A simple thank you is in order. Better than any college degree I could go in debt to obtain.

This guy is a great teacher because he loves what he does. It looks like most of the people commenting are adults. I encourage each and every one of the people commenting, to grab a kid and let them watch this with you.

The way you talk about engineering makes me co-feel the excitement you have to the subject. I enjoyed your video, please keep making more.

Jeremy "Magnetic" Fielding. What a great guy with a great channel. I will boldly rank this one at the very top of my home made science channels list. Jeremy, you ROCK!

I've been an electronics tech for years. I never stopped to think about how induction motors actually work. You explained it in terms anybody could understand. Thanks for making this video. Nicola Tesla is my hero. If not for him I would have to have invented a bunch of stuff myself.

There is 25 in my home. Tesla was a great man. Sir, you are a great teacher. ❤

The sheer joy and excitement in your eyes when you talk about engineering is what made me a subscriber. Gotta watch more of your vids. Great stuff and I never knew this about the history or how electric motors worked. Thank you.

I love how this man's enthusiasm and voice draws you in and makes you want to listen to him and learn. This was great and I wanted it to go on longer. Tesla must have been shocked by all of his experiments and discoveries.

5:16 That's where it clicked! Excellent demonstration!

Excellent lesson. I spent 37 years wiring, unwiring, replacing bearings and sending out for rewinds hundreds of 4160V Three Phase induction motors as big as an automobile. For anyone that has had to clean the carbon dust out of a large DC motor and then had to seat 40 brushes knows, the induction motor is the greatest thing since sliced bread. There is also the added bonus of reversing rotation by simply swapping two motor leads.

8:00 The old analog car speedometers worked similar to your model. A circular magnet was spun by a flexible cable driven by the output shaft of transmission. This magnet was surrounded by an aluminum housing that was constrained to rotate only 1/3 of a turn by a torsional spring. The faster the magnet was spun, the stronger the FORCE imparted on the aluminum housing, thus the farther the spring was stretched, and the farther the housing rotated. The speedometer needle was glued to the housing, and served as the speed indicator.

BRO! What a great lesson! I'm 52 and didn't understand this stuff much... THANK YOU! Awesome video brother.

As a Serb, I always love watching anything that mentions probably our most famous person, Nikola Tesla!

This guy should be teaching online. He can connect with the kids very well. Explains it in an interesting way.

So Tesla invented an induction motor that got him inducted? Cool. Great video, thank you. It was a pleasure to share your enthusiasm.

Jeremy, I've never heard your background, schooling and employment. I truly hope you are a teacher, as that is one of your gifts. The other gift I see is a great mind. Thank you for your videos!

Jeremy, you make this so interesting. I've instructed electricians for 32 years and really enjoyed your presentation. You are a wonderful teacher and best luck on your history channel work. I am sure it will be a big hit.

Thank you for this. I am an ever evolving tool addict and as such I am starting to crave more knowledge about electric motors and their varieties. This is a very easy video to follow for a beginner and will be me new thing to watch. I never listen to the the radio or anything as i usually have something playing in the background that can learn me something about my interests. Thanks man!!!

That's just a fantastic demo of the EM principles behind the most ubiquitous application in induction motors Jeremy. Certainly, this takes me back more than 60 years back when I was in secondary school when I got hold of a toy motor and never have been tired of being fascinated by the latest advancements in replacement of the internal combustion in EVs.

One of the most inspirational presentations I have seen in a long, long time - if not the best! Jeremy, you are so good! It is not the induction motor, it is the infection you are spreading with your enthusiasm based on solid knowledge. I am amazed! Thank you Jeremy.

These are some of my favorite videos about machines. Perfect balance of science and rubber hitting the road.

Jeremy, you are a brilliant teacher. I am glued to the screen every time you do a presentation. You are the very best in so many ways. Thanks for what you do.

Jeremy, that was an absolutely brilliant presentation and explanation of one of the most earth-changing inventions ever. Tesla was a true genius for the ages and I find it amazing that his invention and induction motor principles have remained virtually unchanged to to this day, ~140 years later! Bravo!

Mr Fielding I absolutely love you. Your love of science is absolutely admirable.

Hi Jeremy. I have watched all of your videos that I can find and want to compliment you on the clarity and simplicity with which you present them. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing your talents - - - 39 years in education.

Great explanation, really enjoyed it. Edison couldn’t accept how smart Tesla was! I’ve been an electrician for 23 years and fascinated by all the things Tesla has invented. The induction motor and his Polyphase AC distribution system to name a couple. He was a mad genius. Never got the recognition he deserved!

I'm not a Physics Tech or an electronic engineer and I still like this. Back in the late 70s in Jr High. We took a piece of meal stock like 1/4" x 3/4" bent it like a C wrapped copper wire around it then took a wooden dowl with a piece of copper pipe around it, sliced the copper so it wouldn't touch itself then used two wires and made the center spin.

Jeremy, from the first day i saw you stripping down old washers and maKing shop tools from their parts, i was hooked! Some folks have expanding minds, you however, possess an ever blowing mind that is inhaling the universe as you share it in terms though sometimes beyond me, in interesting, elementary and in bites i can actually chew on. You have one especially valuable item that is not a tool pre se but speaks volumes of how your mind works, and that is your logo. I recall so clearly you philosophy making what you need from what you have like scalable wooden gears, It has always been a joy to watch you and want to tell you how much I missed you while you were in transition from that incredible garden shed of a shop to what you have come to at this point. Dude, i am a disabled senior who's mind you spark with your apparent grasp of all thing and ability so share them. Thank you Jeremy, i look forward to more of your insight, knowledge and experience. Be well, Ray

What a great video! I wish I'd had teachers who were even a fraction as good as Jeremy is at not only explaining how things work, but making the explanation absolutely fascinating! Great attitude and compelling enthusiasm.

bro...you're the best teacher of these physics concepts ... ,,,,,👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Never thought about being motor rich in my house. Great video. If you were a teacher, you would easily be able to get kids excited about engineering. I'm going to set my DVR for the series.

We need sooooo many more Jeremys in the world ... this never gets old watching the child like adventure and excitement he emits

I’m the same way with machining and metalwork. Metallurgy and techniques from the past. I love the machining and metalwork in vintage sewing machines. You can see all the surface finishes and specialty machines they use

this is pure genius yet we all take it for granted everyday, I loved learning about this,wish Tesla was still here, imagine the things he would have done.

Jeremy! Your passion is making the world a better place. Thank you for making these videos.

Jeremy is an astounding teacher. I taught science concepts in high schools for 19 years and studied educational techniques and he just naturally knows how to get across these concepts. Kids would greatly benefit from watching his videos because this is authentic inquiry into how the modern world works.

Hi Jeremy, I really loved this presentation. As a retired Industrial Electrician (Mining) having worked in the UK and Canada, I've had experience with many types of motors and still find them fascinating. The Linear Motor and Mag-Lev mass transportation systems will revolutionize travel in the near future making short Airplane flights obsolete.

My god, you really know how to elicit that child-like fascination; at least from me. This was so simple, yet totally fascinating. The simple experiments/demonstrations really hammered the points home.

As a kid who has no interests in hobbies or sports or anything really, i find it truly strange that this is actually intriguing and fascinating to me. I can actually hold onto the information he's giving me and its interesting to me. The fact someone was actually able to invent this back then is wild. Thank you Tesla. The electrical knowledge on this channel gots me hooked in a way no other school subject has ever had me. Yesterday i didnt even know what dc ac brushed brushless motors were

This is so good! I've been doing EV conversions for 7 years now using induction motors and until I saw your SIMPLE hotglue/magnet/aluminum demonstration I NEVER fully understood how it works! Thank you so much!

Your videos are awesome and I love your enthusiasm! Nicely done. 👍

Refrigerator 1 motor? 1- Compressor 2-Condensor.fan 3 defrost timer. 4 evaporator fan 5 ice dispenser. I'm probably forgetting some. Great video though

I'd love to spend a day or two with this guy, just listening to him tell me how things work, and other stuff of which I have no clue. What a cool guy!!

Jeremy, Nicola Tesla is my all-time favorite inventor. You make engineering fun!

Excellent presentation. What a gem this gentleman is. His explanations are just great.

Man, to have been Tesla. Homeboy was just out there absolutely changing everyone's life. I would only hope to be as influential as him.

My son and I watched this video today, he is home schooled and we use media like this to supplement his education. I have to complement you on your presentation, it kept him engaged and was very informative. Your demeanor is reminiscent of Levar Burton's reading rainbow work which I enjoyed in my youth. Thank you for this material.

I love how passionate you are about this. Ok, so here we go. -Kitchen: Variety of blenders and grinders-5 motors mostly conduction Fridge- 2 motors(conduction and induction) Dish washer- 2 inuction I think Microwave -2 conduction Hood-1 induction Disposal-1 induction Storage cabinates: 2 vacumes- 2 motors induction -Basement: Furnace-2 induction and auxiliary induction zones A/C 2 induction Dryer-2 induction Washer- 2 induction 1 mil laptops - fan conduction motors Another fridge- 1 induction 1 conduction Water heater- 1 induction DIY gril- 1 induction Power tools-a ton of conduction motors and induction also -Bedroom: 1 conduction Fan Pc, playstations, printer a ton of conduction fans and motors -Bathroom Electric tooth brush, electric clippers 5 conduction motors Hair dryer, ceiling fan 2 induction -Honda, a ton of conduction motors.

Your video quality and movement from one principle to another has gotten so good over these years I've been following you. Thank you for all your efforts.

I've got to say, you're a very good explainer and your enthusiasm contagious in the best way possible.

Bravo Jeremy. I too am an electronics guy, and must say your demonstration and narrative was outstanding!

I used to work in the USAF as a ground support staff Sargent and we studied a lot of electric theory. To see you explain where it comes from is so awesome and honestly, should be the training technicians should get! Good job man!!

Thanks much Jeremy. "Professor Eric Laithwaite: Magnetic River 1975" is a must watch after this video.

This is how you teach engineering and physics!!!

Congrats Jeremy on your collaboration with the History Channel! That’s huge, man! I don’t have cable but I hope to find a way to watch it

Jeremy, c’est incroyable comment tu passes le message harmonieusement. J’ai hâte a tes autres videos et ton enthousiasme est inegalé. 👍

Why is this SO wonderfully interesting?! Thanks for posting.

I have 22 induction motors in my one bedroom apartment. Going back to before the 1880s. That was a totally different world. A very exciting world to witness the technological advancements we all take for granted today.

We didn't we had teachers like him in our school days, He made it so simple, easy and clear.. ur awesome.. 👍

Masterclass from the guy. He seem very interested in his craft and I think it's good to see

Dude, you win the internet today! I have always gotten excited reading about technology and performing experiments, but your level of excitement and enjoyment top the cake! You win FOREVER!

Mr. Fielding, your videos are in a small group where I can click on the Thumbs Up icon before even watching and know, I won't change my mind after watching. Thank you for being a consistently excellent creator! I can't wait to see your contribution to the History Channel.

Induction motors are only used in very few household appliances. Ceiling fans and microwave ovens are ones for sure but the rest still use brushed motors. Vacuums, blenders. washer, dryer, ac, all use brushed motors.

Step by step demonstration with every step, none missing, from a wire and compass up to the real working thing with dozens (or way more) of horsepower that make the world work! Nice job, Jeremy. It's a shame AC electricity isn't commonly available at low voltages for people to experiment with. They'd need a driver circuit to make a home-made induction motor. A transformer could do the trick but most wall-warts don't output AC, especially now they're all tiny lightweight switchers.

Outstanding video, Jeremy. I really like the demonstration with the two wheels. I had some pretty great science teachers in highschool, but none did a demonstration of electricity and magnets the I understood as well as that.

Enthusiasm for learning and a childlike openess to being amazed will serve one well in life. Never become jaded to the astonishing reality that surrounds us every day.

Jeremy, the work and time you must have put into explaining this must have been long, to make it easily understandable often takes far more time than to rattle of scientific jargon that only a boffin can understand. Well done I appreciate the brilliant effort that you have put into this video so just about every one can grasp the principles Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
