    Been using resistors for 13 years in my projects but you just taught me so much more. I hope you turn this into a series and do this with all electrical components
  • @vjm3
    You responded 2 years to a question I had about the "physical" relationship of power, current, and resistance, in the form of this video. You even directly linked my question. Good sir, thank you. Life update: I now work in the superconducting field, so even though this knowledge is invaluable, I effectively try to achieve the OPPOSITE of this concept lol. Thanks.
  • @Robert_Byland
    My electronics tech degree was 20 years ago. This was a FABULOUS refresher course! Well done! 👏👏👏
  • @sky173
    For all the years I've been dealing with resistors, I never know about the spiral cut. Thanks for sharing. Great channel!
  • I was hesitant in watching this thinking I knew everything already. I quickly found out that I had so much more to learn, and I even went back and watched portions over and over again. What can I say? I just couldn’t resist! Instant subscriber...
  • Back in the late 1970's, I put in a whole semester learning about resistors, and learned about 90 percent of that semester in this video! Plus the resistors back then were the carbon variety, unless you worked with industrial (1 percent) resistors. They were blue colored with black value numbers on them.
  • @bertlzansinger
    This series is what I looked for desperately. Everything included to educate properly from noob to base knowledge. Cheers!
  • @19markkram88
    Breaking everything down in bullet points and clear cut explanations is why these are fantastic educational videos, my man. I know absolutely nothing about engineering, always had a interest, and this indeed helped a lot. Keep it up brother
  • By far the most comprehensive video I have seen on resistors. Good Job!
  • I learned and worked with resistors and circuits about 22 years ago and it was never clearer. thank you for the comprehensive and clear illustrations.
  • @MarioGoatse
    This video was perfect for me (a complete layman) to get a good understanding of exactly what they do. They can be extremely simple, somewhat complex and smart, but absolutely necessary in so many cases. Side note; What a beautiful world we live in. The deeper you look at something, the more you want to find. But the more you do find, the more interesting and exciting (and often complex) it gets! There’s so many pools of knowledge and information in everything around us if you have a look. One day I’m extremely interested in a video about the engineering and evolution of a soda can, and the next it’s a resistor.
  • @Zenoandturtle
    This is the presentation I wish I had back in high school and university. I finally get the feel of it rather than just memorizing formulas.
  • @dubaifatimaali
    You have no idea how much I learned from this video. The quality of this video is truly on the other level.
  • @BingsBuddery
    This is one of the few tutorials I've seen on YouTube that does frequent memory testing of the knowledge just demonstrated.. Well done! Great content.
  • @randyhavard6084
    The sheer scale of production, precision, and low cost of electronic components has always amazed me
  • @kakolusi6144
    As a civil engineering student it was so great to learn how an engineer from another field make things work ; ) Kudos to you engineers!!!
