By request:- A basic guide to identifying components and their functions for those who are new to electronics. This is a work in progress, and I welcome feedback from you guys on whether I should break it down into more manageable chunks. I've kept the maths to a minimum, since it can be off-putting to someone just getting started in electronics.
The idea of this video is to slot in some more of the jigsaw pieces involved in learning electronics, when you start to recognise components, but aren't quite sure what they are or what they do.
It's tricky to squeeze even the basics into a single video, and I've just realised how long this one is (and why it took all night to upload).

    Can't understand his language. Makes it hard to understand what he is saying. Mite help if he wouldn't be talking so quickly.

    Can we talk about how hardcore it is to explain a capacitor by building one live ? Fantastic stuff, man. Fantastic.

    Hi Clive,
    I'm trying to repair an ECU from my V8 engine and thus save myself ยฃ2000 for a replacement ECU …a diode has broken on the circuit board …it provides a reading of 158 when tested on a multi-meter…Can I assume that I need a 15V replacement ?
    Thanks Steve W.

    Resistor = Saturn = restrict flow, time delay

    Capacitor = Jupiter = layered insulator, surface area, electrolytic capacitor, smooth sine output, temporary battery

    Diodes = Rahu = one way valve

    Transistors = Mars = 3 pin, amplifier, switch, mosfet
