📼Video Summary:
Electric motors can seem very mysterious! How do they use electricity to start rotating? Let's break it down step by step to understand how it works. Topics covered in this video: circuits, current, magnets, electromagnets, armature, commutator, brushes, stator, and rotor. This video only covers DC motors. Maybe I will cover AC motors in a future video🤨

Got a much clearer understanding of the concept in around 10 minutes, than I ever got in almost 10 years... bravo

Jared sir please make a video on AC generator cuz I'm not able to understand its working
I always see these comments. But I am not sure if there is an element of exaggeration.
Same here. I've been a mechanical engineer for almost 10 years and I've never seen this explained so well.
I have a question that is the electricity is reversed in this explanation then is it not ac motor?
A 14 year old learning electromagnetism and this came as a blessing .. I don't have words to thank you enough .. Wishes and happiness from apar
I remember studying about this in my electrical class and was having a hard time visualize the parts in action. It was mostly of text but I couldn't understand the visual function completely. Seeing this, the many missing pieces in my studies started to make so much sense now. Thank you.
Simply perfect. It could be called art. One of the best representation and explanations i have ever watched. Thank you

Bruh you are responsible for your own education. Can’t blame teachers if you’re a dumbass
I never understood how motors actually worked and this is actually super easy to understand, thanks man!
Same here, while for ICE I have known for ages how they work, for electrical, in general I did not understand how you turn spinning motion into electricity and then the other way around. Now, next step is to understand solar panels, as apparently, th use some chemical process to produce the electricity

Goodness, it’s sad, as a 45 year old man (and IT professional), how much of this was new to me (about 95%). This was great and very informative!

Everytime i need a refresher about how this works, I always come back to this video. completely refreshes my memory, the explanation is too perfect.
Perfectly made..... This demonstration is incredible. More easier to understand.
I agree
My Physics Teacher tried explaining this and I understood nothing. I watch this video and my brain goes BOOM in understanding
The Skirata even Edison had trouble explaining.’if they had this video back then they probably wouldn’t have used the electric chair to demonstrate
I couldn’t agree more. Spectacular
I'd like to just give huge respect to the guy who did the animation, I've been confused by electric motors for years, not any more!
Also good to see a DC Motor in real world: kzhead.info/sun/i7eDd7Web2SpmnA/bejne.html 👈
This is the best explanation I have ever seen of a DC motor. The part with the magnet changing inside the loop is the big difference. Brilliant explanation
Absolutely brilliant explanation. It is wonderful in its progression of smaller explanations until it arrives at the final stage. The viewer understands every step along the way, so they understand the whole concept. Just excellent. Thank you so much.
I graduated in electrical engineering. I've seen your lectures, major books, KZhead videos, but I've never seen a video that explains it so well. This is a perfect explanation. I wish I had seen you earlier.

As always, not only your content is very educational but also a high quality video. Keep up the good work!

@@SoloLevellor As a former professor, I can say with 100% that you are more right than you know. By the time a teacher really understands what the hell they are talking about, they are being pushed out the door.
So simple! Thanks, I'm 60, and 45 years late, I've learned how a motor works!! Computer images are awesome, something we didn't have in high school back in the 1970s. Thank you!
This is one of the most enlightening videos, ive every seen. One of the best lessons ive ever seen in my life! How succinct and elegant an explanation!!
I am amazed of how simple this is, school made it complicated
I'm still confused
You're so right!
school makes it complicated by using math formulas, rather than teach us how it works
@@kakyoindonut3213 You misunderstand: like it or not, math is the entire reason it works. A class that teaches how a motor like this works is going to need to include the math for people who are going to go on to become engineers or physicists: people who will not only need to know the basics of how these work, but _exactly_ how they work, so they can make improvements or design their own.
@@Tantalus010 "class that teaches how a motor like this works is going to need to include the math for people who are going to go on to become engineers or physicists" you're wrong, me and my classmates never learn the math to become an engineer, but rather to pass the exam. you can't build a lego stuff if the instruction are made using math, you can build the lego stuff if the instruction has an image in it

If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. kzhead.infoUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!
This is the best description of how a dc motor works. Ive been studying electronics for a while and i never really understood how a brushed dc motor works, but now i do. So thankyou.
Imagining the “eureka moment” when these concepts were first discovered.

Hi
kzhead.info/sun/jK2Dfcpwn4KpjJ8/bejne.html
Indeed
But i think it actually have a miss when presenting an electromagnet in armature. It should be a current, only electric current brought by the wire interract with the magnetic field perpendicularly. And not the electromagnet created by the armature.
I'm not a technical guy but this video explains quite well except, I thought some more animation or explanation was required for me when you were explaining an increased number of windings required. Thank you!
I learnt more in this 10 minutes video than my whole 4 years of engineering!

Maybe it's because your teachers don't have days worth of free time to create a 3D animations for each lesson?
Imagine, there was a time, where someone find this out. Mindblowing
Several times, really. Machines like these are an iterative process, so someone builds the first one, then others improve it over time.
That will be the creator of the DC motor and AC motor
You are incredible in explaining everything outstanding none of our physics teachers explained us good enough they just focus on reading and memorizing us lessons
This is the best video I've ever seen explaining commutation. I'm sure you would do an amazing job with AC. Either a synchronous or induction (squirrel-cage) motor breakdown would be awesome.

When you realize what more Nikola Tesla invented your head will blow off lol
It didn't really take a genius to invent the electric motor. Once scientists had clearly specified the electrical properties of materials and their circuits, it was like playing with a Lego for the inventors. Suddenly, the world was full of electrical inventions, which were all created in a few years at the end of the 19th century. Genius we can call James Maxwell who described with equations the electromagnetic field, the first unification of physics. The most difficult thing is to understand the laws of reality. Reality does not come with a manual.
BIG BRAIN MOVES
It’s mostly about experience...
This is the most perfect animation with so much detail that in sequence perfecly in order to understand
What a great teaching video!! It's great for an online high school teacher like me. Thanks Jared.
this is sooo better than a 1 hour tutorial of a physics teacher tesching with white board
True
@sussy impostor The thing with the electromagnets is that their north and south poles can switch place depending on the direction of the current/electricity. A permanent magnet can't so since the poles will stay the same the magnet will just align with the permanent magnets around it and stay still.
This is the first time I've heard "reverse the polarity" outside of Star Trek.
