You made it so clear, don't have to watch no another video. Really the way you presented, the right time of transition, the labels are perfect, and the right amount of explanation for each component makes it clear and crisp. 👍

Love how clean and fluid the animations were, very well put together. Thanks!
I’m currently revising for my Physics exam tomorrow, and this video has helped me conceptualise this phenomena more than you know! I just wanted to say thank you! :) MSc Diagnostic Radiography student btw. Both Anatomy and Physiology I find very easy, but Physics just doesn’t stick in my head aha. Thanks again!
To be honest, only word for this video is .. Masterpiece.

this is by far the easiest to understand physics explanation i have ever seen in my life. You are excellent. PLS do more videos
Fantastic, thanks for the visuals. I feel like this is what most lectures lack. You've made it much easier to understand.
I'm a former Xray repair technician and am currently a high school engineering teacher. This is a terrific video and I'm going to use it in my class. Are you able to make a similar video on voltage, current, resistance and Ohm's Law?

+B C this is high praise - I am grateful for your appreciation. I would have to give some serious thought to how to make a similar video for Ohm’s Law. Though I plan to cover the entire A-Level specification (UK) with lesson videos which includes that. The animation I really want to make it proton beam therapy though.

There are already tons of videos on KZread about ohms law and current/voltage. Off the top of my head, Eugene Khutoryanski has some really nice visualizations on current and voltage and a wealth of other stuff on electronics, physics and math. Afrotech mods is another great channel that has a nice playlist with topics on ohms law, voltage, current, and so. I think using both would be good for teaching because Afrotech Mods has the theory and demonstrations, while Eugene Kutryaski takes a more visual approach. But it's your class, so tht's your call. Also there's a circuit simulator called CircuitMod that's been a really great tool for visually and intuitively understanding what's going on in a circuit. It's not as extensive as SPICE, but it's easy to use and runs right in your browser. It would be a really useful teaching tool because you can visually show ohm's law in action and they can see where the current is flowing and what is at what voltage. I hope that helps. Cheers.
Best explanation video I've ever seen! I really appreciate the effort and quality. This channel should have way more subscribers if this is any indication of the general quality. Please keep them coming!
Great video....Getting ready for my second interview as an imaging engineering field technician. Videos like this are a terrific tool for new technicians.
Music - Epic Video - Unbelievably thorough and easy to understand Did I mention the music was epic? Very well done. Thanks! From the USA.

I have never felt cooler learning about science. This is the new pre-game vibe before going out for a night on the town.
This video is amazing, it covers everything in less than 8 mins and gives an amazing visual understanding of the topic
Very well done. Maybe you could consider making the following videos? 1. Collimators 2. High Voltage Generators 3. Anti-Scattering X-Ray Grids 4. Flat Panel Detectors 5. Alignment & Tuning of a X-Ray System 6. MTF (Mean Transfer Function) of a X-Ray System 7. DQE of a X-Ray Image When you have these videos created, I can assure you that you can join any X-Ray Systems company of your choice ^^
Great video!! The animations are so beautiful! Makes it much easier to understand x-ray production, thank you so much :D

4th year medical student here. I would like to go into radiology and I was struggling to understand the logic behind the x-ray as a lot of sources skip details of why a particular part can do a certain thing. I can't thank you enough for my future career. Love and greetings from Germany. :)

Very useful. Especially for my first year Diagnostic Radiography students. Thanks so much for this.
This video is so self explanatory and easy to understand for layman like myself. Thank you for the great work.
Awesome tune in the background..kept me intrigued throughout the video.. very nice explanation thru diagrams as well !! Thanks for making it !
I like the way how you explain all the parts and what material they made from and why.Great video thanks

Omg !!! Just no words how amazing and clear this video is , so beautifully displayed , no words Thank you🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
The filament is usually heated by a separate low voltage power supply. It works much like an incandescent light filament. It needs to be heated for electrons to be freely accelerated by the high voltage power supply. The target you depicted is a rotating type. This is used for high flux X-ray tubes. The target is spun by a magnetic driver outside of the vacuum. The purpose of a rotating target is to prevent excessive heating on one single spot of the target, which would cause erosion and pitting of the target.
OMG!! THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING 😍😍very clear and informative. I appreciate the effort you put into it.👍👍👍👏👏
Amazing video !! Thanks from Egypt

Absolutely. Im studying to become an industrial radiographer and despite the assumptions and lack of challenge from my instructors, these sciences have sparked my mind on levels of comprehension i could have never imagined. My determination and yearning for knowledge has consumed my entire being. God has awakened me through a process of deep learning and i humbly thank you for your contributions towards finding my purpose. Ive found that a good teacher is one who can use his ability to reject all assumptions about the students understanding. This has been the main hinderance in my recent studies. Im ashamed to admit but for example, ferrite is anothet word for iron, i did not know this and for 2 classes the teacher failed to mention, only when googling ferrite testing did i find this out. I think it was Einstein who said “if you cant explain it to a 6 year old, you don’t understand it” and he is right. Teaching is all about understanding the students on the most basic of levels. I encourage you to check out the youtube channel “jeff run” and his experiments. They are thoroughly interesting and thought provoking. We have entered a new age of science and we must be open books without secrecy if we are to survive in this life and the next. God bless and thank you again.

Awesome video, sir! The only thing i missed is a sequence showing the whole process of x-ray production (electrons being expelled from the cathode towards the anode and so on), but still, it's very clarifying. Congratulations!
