Into the world of electricity - like the first time! -2. And what is inside the disk?

At the request of the readers of the site I’ll do a short review of the new disk of Mikhail Vanyushin "Into the world of electricity - as for the first time! -2".

Actually, you can see the full list of issues that are discussed in the training course on the selling site itself. In this article I will pay more attention to the forms of information that the author uses in his course.

Many people mistakenly think that only videos are recorded on the disc. In fact, the instructional video is just a few elements of the course. The main part of it is a very high-quality and well-illustrated textbook on electrical engineering and the basics of electronics in electronic format. All this is packaged in an easy-to-use software shell with logically clear and convenient navigation.

The entire content of the course is divided into large thematic sections, which, in turn, are divided into subsections and individual topics. You can quickly jump to the desired topic. After studying each key block, the author provides the opportunity to take a test and thereby consolidate the knowledge gained.

The material in the electronic textbook is presented at a fairly simple and affordable level. I can argue that Mikhail Vanyushin is one of those authors who can explain really complex things in a simple and understandable language, while clearly demonstrating any theoretical things with simple calculations and measurements of the parameters of electrical circuits, as well as providing a large number of practical examples in the process.

And yet, despite the qualitatively stated theory, the training course is focused primarily on obtaining practical work skills. All theoretical things here are clearly confirmed in the home workshop of the author of the course. The main wealth of the training course "Into the world of electricity - as for the first time! -2" the videos are over, moreover, this is not just a demonstration video of various electrical and electronic devices and devices, but various experiments and experiments.

So, the disk itself looks like this:

As you can see, everything is pretty solid and presentable. Such a disc can be a good gift to a family member or colleague for the New Year or for a professional holiday, for example, on the same day as an energy specialist, which we will all be celebrating very soon.

Menu section about bipolar transistors:

Section menu about oscilloscopes and how to work with them:

The entire text in the electronic textbook is richly illustrated, and all the illustrations are made by the author himself:

In many videos, to explain the operation of the circuit, simple examples of calculations are given, which you most often encounter in practical activities. For example, in this video, the battery operation with a car starter is described:

The author of the disk conducts most of the experiments using solderless breadboards, and there is a whole section on the disk that focuses on their device and the secrets of their proper use.

Study of the operation of the transistor:

The course also recorded video measurements of the parameters of real circuits:

Many processes are investigated using a virtual oscilloscope:

During video recording, the author was able to combine on the screen a schematic diagram, the studied elements and measuring instruments, which very seriously increases the visibility of the whole process. You can simultaneously study the circuit and monitor the change in the measured values ​​during the experiment.

The study of the photodiode and photoresistor:

Study of power supplies for LEDs:

This training course is interesting precisely for its practical orientation.Of course, you can only read books in the learning process, but modern teaching technologies can significantly increase its effectiveness precisely through a combination of text, graphics and video.

Due to such a modern form of presentation of the material in the process of studying electrical engineering and electronics, one can not only be a passive observer, but also, if desired, try to repeat all the demonstrated experiments and experiments in practice and with this help consolidate the knowledge gained. In fact, having such wonderful video instructions before your eyes is a sin not to use them and not to try to do something similar with your own hands!

Unfortunately, the level of education in our time is seriously falling. I see this as an example of my students (I have been teaching electrical engineering at the college for about ten years), and really assessing the level of already working electricians. In order to be a really sought-after specialist, the knowledge gained in an educational institution is simply not enough. Need to constantly engage in self-education!

I wrote earlier that learning is never too late. And nobody argues with this statement. Such training courses as the course of Mikhail Vanyushin can successfully help not to stay in place, easily remember forgotten, learn something new, develop and at the same time feel like a real professional!
