VOLTAGE DOUBLERS 

Well I have to say despite this was SOOOOO much before any fancy pant animations of today, this explanation of voltage doubling can easily go head to head with anything modern, in terms of clearly explaining the concept.

wow, thank you very much for sharing this in so easy to understand manner.

A beautiful and easy to understand lesson. Made me understand the principle.

Great explained

This is totally amazing, how can this be so clear?

Made my concept Crystal Clear. :D

Thank You Jesus ✝️✨

I agree with everything you said. I stopped watching at 2 minutes, and then just skipped ahead to a couple random spots. If I would have kept watching I would have understood the no thumbs down rating, lol.

This guys voice could double the effectiveness of most sleeping medications.

It's not the transformer that doubles the voltage, it's the diodes and capacitors. As he shows in the video, it's just a bit of kerfoobling with the rectifying bridge. Takes up much less space than including another transformer. Sometimes, for whatever reason, you need twice the voltage from the supply you have. Transformers are bulky, heavy and expensive. This is a small, quick, efficient way of doing it. It's also often used as a first stage to drive things like Cockcroft-Walton multipliers.

So true....I was wondering when watching the video what the production and filming of this must have been like, it probably looked like a move production - no handycam in them days :)

good wk by the NCO, thanks uploader.

Useful tips

RU-vid video tutorial's well before RU-vid was thought of, great....

Would this hurt my transformer secondary if the capacitors were too big and too much amperage was flowing back into my coil?

My understanding is that Hollywood created films for the US government. No doubt it looked like movie production. A cartoon production in regards to any animations

I thought of it more like 2 half-waves. Surely you get less current from it. Actually, half the current. So the supply won't be as stable under the same load.

Definitely a Massachusetts native. Love the accent.

what is the equation for this?

I liked his accent. Sounded like a good ol' Suth'n boy trying to corral his voice into the same class as his uniform.

I find it funny this was classified one point

This was shot on video instead of film, so it can't be too old.

Sweet , a cathode ray oscilloscope lol

Then again each and every moving picture created is a potential YT video.

I thought there was a trace in there, but he's trying to suppress it! Try listening for it!

nice toupee.

OK, I see that but it still has that 1950s look and feel to it. They could have put this guy in Dr. Strangelove, LMBO. Guess, I'll go and excite myself with 37 minute vid on Bridge Rectifiers.

Looks like he is wearing a toupe

This is a 1950s film at the most 1960. USAF was using computers in 1970s. F-16 and F-14 made its debut in the 1970s both with fly-by-wire technology. Plus, the first laptop computers were being used by NATO countries in the early 1970s. Perhaps you should do some research at the library or take a history class at a university or college. Oh no, budget cuts, 'lack of interest', and the 'need' to emphasize science and math is most important, right? Don't knock me 'cause I won't go down.

He never elaborated on voltage multiplication, like bridge rectification. I don't hear any Southern voice at all. Sounds like the typical indoctrinated engineer who won't unleash superconductivity theory to the masses!

I won't thumbs down, but I found this video to be stupid and a waste of time. Anyone in electronics for more than a week will know all this. Any transformer with a 1:2 ratio is a voltage doubler, and not really all the exciting. This is more of a simple power supply than a voltage doubler. I would have really enjoyed about hearing about dc to dc voltage doubling!
