General electronics projects. Reverse engineering of industrial electronics. Smaller projects that you can make at home or for school.
I never thought I would make a video about wires. This is what 3 weeks of isolation does to you. Wires, Cables, Aluminium, Copper, Busbar, Foil, Cables shoes, cable lug and so on.

In this video I talk about some of the high voltage insulator items I have collected. Normal household 230/400VAC porcelain insulators with brass mounting hardware. Lineman clamping connectors to be operated by an insulated rod. From a large distribution transformer, there is some large brown 10 kVAC feed through high voltage insulators. Railway electrification system

IEC and CEE plugs for high power single and three phase connection of equipment. I do a rundown of old, new and special connectors and plugs used in Europe. Ranging from 230V 10A to 400V 63A.

Over the years I have collected a great deal of salvaged IGBT bricks from the different power electronics I have taken apart. It have primarily kept 50+ Ampere rated bricks, single or half-bridge modules and 3 phase modules without built-in protection. It mostly comes from UPS, motor drives, welders or x-ray generators.

I show a range of different inductors, chokes, reactors and other kinds of spiral wound wires with or without a core. Iron or ferrite core. DC, AC (low and high frequency).

I show a range of different industrial components that you can salvage from thrown out machines. Main breaker panels, x-ray and UPS systems. Look at privately owned scrap yards and metal recyclers in your area to get the same opportunities to find stuff like this. You have to be prepared to pay per kg for

A fraction of the electrolytic capacitors that I have in stock (some more film/oil/paper as well). A collection of capacitors from various teardowns.

A talk about SCRs and thyristor in different sizes, packages and from different points in time. A Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) is a unidirectional semiconductor. It is the solid state equivalent of the thyratron (which I showed in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odkbxWpQ0ck ) and hence it is also referred to as thyristor or thyroid transistor. In
