i wonder whether the movement of electrons while charging the battery is correct....I thought we should be forcing the electrons through the negative terminal so that the chemical reaction can be reversed

@RainbowDeath Yes there are chemical reactions that need "extreme" circumstances to start like the heat of a flame. But there is an uncountable number of reactions that work at room temperature and pressure. Like when you add lemonjuice to tea and it changes color or rusting or your cells breathing.

Agreed. Because of my previous trade in HM Armed Forces, I knew all this but it is still an excellent video, that explains in easy to understand terms, how a car battery works.

This video was absolutely fantastic, answered every question I had on how these batteries worked and your animations made it really easy to understand. I also watch a lot of your other videos and I have to say thank you so much for helping me with learning as much as I can about engineering, I love learning new things but I hate some of the drab and dry videos sometimes uploaded, yours is the perfect mix between showing how it works through your voice and through the animations.

Seriously, this was so good. I thought I knew this stuff but whilst watching discovered HUGE areas that I didn't know and / or understand ! Outstanding tutorial - Many thanks.

Your teaching skills empowers me to learn and most importantly, actually understand something.

It's just a generator. The way how applying electricity to a coil makes it into an electromagnet, when you inverse that, the motion of magnets induces current in the wires, and the magnets are connected to a rotor, which, in turn, is connected to the engine via belt. Pretty much all generators generate alternating current (I think all of them, but am not 100% sure...), hence the name, alternator, but the way you can restrict water flow in one direction, but let it flow in the other, the same can be done to electric current, effectively turning it into direct current to charge the battery. Edit: Sorry, there are DC generators too... Key difference is AC generators magnets rotate, and coil is stationary, but in DC generator it's the opposite.

this is so great! I remember when I was a school student, I was struggling to understand how chemical reaction and electricity work. but with your video animation it is much easier to understand. student nowadays are really lucky!

These are amazing videos! Very well put together and easy to understand. Thank you for putting these videos on-line!!

Could you do a deep dive on lithio rechargeable cells? There seems to be different fields of thought around cathode/anode potential labeling, and current flow vs convential flow in general. Your videos are excellent I'm sure it would help clear it up

Other videos keep it short by simplifying it and I'm still confused...these guys break it down to the nitty-gritty and I instantly get it. Been watching a lot of your videos lately, keep up the great work.

Thank you for explaining this in detail and simplified.

The best video I've ever seen about how batteries work! Just amazing. Thank you so much!

wow ... cool ... very detailed and makes a thorough understanding of lead batteries. this video maker deserves appreciation and donation.

Excellent descriptions, actually. One gripe, when stating/defining the charge of an ion, the symbol is suffix to the number: 2- is charge, -2 is oxidation state. Thus SO4(2-)

Remember when checking the electrolyte level in the battery make sure it’s fully charged before adding more. The fluid level will increase while charging and can over flow if not properly done.

Love this video, the information presented is clear and easy to follow so even I can follow and understand. Thanks!

The way this was explained was so beautiful. I completely understood the concepts and it just amazes me how ingenious mankind is.

10:56 Might confuse some that Cathode is labeled as positive (Cathode is negative electrode). However in this case the electrode of a battery that releases electrons during discharge is called anode; the electrode that absorbs the electrons is the cathode. The car battery anode is always negative and the cathode positive. This 'appears' to violate the convention as the anode is the terminal into which current flows.

@urano4810

2 жыл бұрын

Wait wait wait, I think you might be confusing conventional flow (used only in drawings) and actual electron flow (what actually happens in real life). The anode is negative because it's what initially has the electrons, which have the negative charge. They flow from negative to positive to reach an equilibrium. Or am I misunderstanding something?

If you want to just know the basics then you can watch the first few minutes and if you want it very much detailed then you can watch the rest of it. Its very much informative and amazingly described. Thanks for the video and valuable information. If we thoroughly understand a concept then we can thoroughly explain it to others so that they can understand it too. Keep up the good work.🤝👍👍

Thanks for taking all the time and effort to make this! I understand it a lot more now!

i've been looking for a video of this kind for the longest time. thanks!

Great video again. If you need to jump start a car... make sure the running one is running and connect the jump leads red to red and black / negative as close to the starter as possible on an unpainted surface on the dead car, try starting the dead car, if it starts disconnect the leads. Sometimes you may need to leave it a few minutes before it will start. Once the leads are disconnected you can check the alternator is working with a multimeter across the battery set to DC it should read around 14.4 V when the engine is running.

Soo true,and is not complicated at all.

Don't forget to mention that wonderful invention, the ballast resistor. Until the 1970s, you had to get good sparks in your combustion chambers at the same time that the battery was being drained by the enormous current required by the starter motor. Thus the sparks were feeblest when you needed them to be strongest. That is why it was always difficult to start the car. The ballast resistor was placed in line with the spark plugs' low-tension circuit, and the engine runs happily with less than 12 volts. But in starting the car, the ballast resistor is bypassed to supply the full 12 volts to the spark plugs. This makes little difference to the battery's starting current, but gives a more intense spark when you need the engine to "catch".

Love this video, love your channel, Liked, Subscribed and even clicked on the Bell Icon. It is my goal to understand the major components of a vehicle and how they fit together. And this is beginning to help me do that. I know that this desire of mine may take months or a year or two; but I am willing to put in a little effort every single day to do this. I want to be able to fix my own vehicles, turn around and sell them. The reason why I am watching this particular video on a how a car battery works, is because I just had one of those experiences where you hear voices; but you aren't yet dreaming. You've been peacefully, slipping off, and are about to nod off; and then you hear someone talking. This person, a guy... was saying something like, It's great and all that you know (such and such) but the person I'm REALLY impressed with is the person who not only knows that, but if I were to ask them, 'Describe to me how a car battery works... they would say (and then this guy began describing it! Some of the stuff you are saying, about the lead and the chemicals).''" So, I took this as a sign that I needed to get up, get on You Tube, and research this. Often my intuition... you might call it psychic ability, speaks to me in dreams or these states right before I dream, or in a state of meditation or even day dreams when my mind just wanders off. I have found, that by immediately following that intuition, I can be led down a whole new path of discovery that seems to uniquely, surprisingly, and even sometimes, humorously complement what I'm already doing or thinking about. Now, I consider myself a pretty smart guy; and you described this beautifully; but I gotta say, that my head hurts a little. I experienced this back when I was a kid and first trying to do this word searches. At first my head hurt. It actually seemed to physically hurt from thinking. And then, as I practiced more and more... it hurt less; until it was a pure joy to do those word searches. Same thing happened when I started doing Sudoku puzzles. But it was only when I was PUSHING myself past a certain comfort zone of what I was used to. My dad used to say, "Thinking is some of the hardest work you'll ever do"... and then he'd follow that up with Thomas Edison's quote about the percentage of people who think, who only think they think and who would rather DIE than think! I'm once again, in DECADES experiencing this kind of head pain. And I want to thank you... you reminded me that this is a sign that I am growing and that the pain will go away as I become smarter or more well versed in a certain subject area. As I was watching, I noticed that you said that the starter ENGAGES the larger gear of the (forgot what you called it; but will go back and check out the name of that part), which had me thinking... what if everything else is operating as it should... but that little piston arm doesn't engage for some reason - WHAT could be the possible reasons for this? This is how my brain works... I ask a ton of questions. I'm the type of person who needs to build a framework of understanding. I'm also a person who often needs to hear the same thing said over and over again or explained in another way, IF I'm not already versed in that subject; but once I have a pretty strong frame... my mind begins to fit pieces together in interesting ways at an accelerated rate. And those pieces may come together in ways that they weren't 'designed' to. I think this is a big part of why I am attracted to innovation, invention, and creativity, in general. It's this need to see the whole, (as much as we think we know) and then work backward to the details; but then my mind also works details to whole, and from middle, outward. ~ Dave M. ~

This video is live example of perfection

can you please explain how the current flows when jump starting the car? DC runs from negative to positive. we connect the dead battery positive to live battery positive and the live battery negative to the chassis of the dead battery. so, the electrons flow : 1, from live negative -> chassis 2, through the chassis to dead battery negative 3, dead battery positive -> live battery positive is that correct? is that how a car battery gets the electrons when jump starting the car? through the chassis ?

Thank you for your great work!
