How Information Travels Wirelessly
[MUSIC PLAYING] All right, so in this video we’re going to understand how information travels wirelessly. And what I mean by this is that we’re going to understand how devices like Wi-Fi, wireless internet work. How things like radios, say, in cars work. And how things like cellphones, which definitely use wireless communication, how they […]

Basic Electricity – Resistance and Ohm’s law
In this video I’m going to talk about electrical resistance, ohm’s law, and how to pick a resistor to limit current in an LED circuit. In previous videos I talked about how voltage can behave like a pushing force, pushing electric current around a circuit. But in one example I connected an LED straight to […]

How the inventor of Mario designs a game
