After 6 years still the best intro to FETs on youtube, thank you!

The value of your electronics knowledge is exceeded by your skills in communication. Years ago I rushed through a college EE absorbing everything but not truly grokking it. Now I have the leisure of enjoying the craft and your videos are just a pleasure to consume like a fine meal. There are few YouTubers with these communication skills and it would be valuable in the long term for your videos to not only be stored on this one platform. Links break and platforms die, I hope these videos will survive - for the future generations (the ones who will have to repair all the old FET technology handed down to them)

Hands down, this is the best explanation of basic FET operation that I've ever heard and I have a PhD in analog circuit design! Great great video. Made my day that this is available.

Your notes are so clear and concise that you need to make a "Back to Basics" companion notebook for your videos; I would totally buy it!

In 20 minutes you managed to explain what my electronics teacher taught in 2-3 months of classes. Truly great refresher video for me. Thank you.

Best video on explaining FETs on YouTube. I really appreciate your pace and paper and pencil explanations coupled with a scope demo. All your "back to basics" videos are superbly done. Thanks!

I just love your tutorials! Your drawings are so well thought out and drawn. I'm a 73 yr old mining engineer who couldn't get enough electronics in college, but we barely had transistors then. I will probably ask ignorant questions, but about much of this information I am ignorant. Thanks so much for what you do!
