    @@TheThomas3110 jimininy cricket man, if you're going to simplify an engineering concept, PUH-LEZE do it justice. A battery is an energy well and a capacitor is an energy reservoir. They are alike only in that they both supply electricity. Even if both have a similar total yield, a battery delivers only so much at a time, while a capacitor can dump everything at once. The maximum volume that 'reservoir' can hold, is measured in Farad.

    Bulk capacitors would light you up. They're not kidding with that 250V on the side of them. And you have to double that because they're in series. Has to do with how the voltage doubling circuit works in a PC PSU. The switch on the side for 120-240 VAC input. When you switch it into 120 it doubles the voltage to bring it up to 240.

    LMG goes weeks between concept, writing, shooting, editing, and airing. Even live events are pre-planned and scripted. GN did a good intro to power supplies, with a focus on their intent to test power supplies with their equipment more so than the grade 9 introduction to electricity. LMG has also done a good piece on power supplies in line with a series of pieces they have done on parts of your computer at a good grade 9 introduction to electricity and grade 10 introduction to switch mode. There are easily two dozen other youtube videos on this same topic as well, search and you will find many from this grade 9/10 level to digikey employed engineer level.

    The proper term for that transformer is a step down transformer (for those curious) which means it lowers the output voltage compared to the input. Most people are more familiar with step up transformers (like the big ones outside or in buildings, or your typical car's it ition coil). This is just for those who are less educated in electronic components who are curious.

    This is grossly unfair to your professor. What he was explaining is probably everything about rectifiers, all the math pertaining to their operation, specifics that arise from the material used to build the thing and probably a lot more than I can think of right now. Do you need all that to be able to make a circuit? No. But that's the difference between a technician and an engineer, and there is also the physicist of course. Chances are your professor could make a crude rectifier completely from scratch using only household objects. You might think you don't need that kind of information and you might be right but more knowledge is always better if you can hold all that in and will come in handy sometime. I experience that every day.

    Gamers Nexus was less educational and more amateurish in their presentation; they tried to educate and then review a psu in one video. Patrick's explanation of how the psu works was a quick whirlwind of technical jargon being thrown out without going into how they work. Steve and Patrick are learning as they go and try to put out a good review on a psu by supplying what data they can without checking the video over with experts in the PSU industry. Linus's video here focused on the educational aspect of how a psu works, and took advantage of the access they had to experts in addition to providing references for interested viewers. This is a much more organized approach, that is to separate how a psu works from reviewing one.
