I love it how bidirectional inverters and PFC are sort of one in the same

Wow you just gave me three "ah ha!" moments in under 10 minutes. Your way of explaining these things, combined with your use of visuals, are on point. Keep it up! 🙇🙇🙇

Very enjoyable. Completely understand the idea now, thank you! Also, very clear diction; didn't need subtitling at all. Nice!<br>Adding the ElectroBOOM sound effect to the Full Bridge Rectifier (24 secs from start) was a nice touch. I'm sure Mehdi approves!

I am an electrical/electronics engineer from many years ago. It was a pleasure to watch and understand the improvements that have evolved to the original bridge rectifier and capacitor setup. Very well demonstrated and explained!

This is the first video that has actually made me understand what power factor really. Is. It also filled some knowledge gaps I had with switching power supplies. Thank you.

Great content! Now I'll feel dirty every time I build a plain old full bridge rectifier.
