tesla500

tesla500 is the channel of David Kronstein, the electronics designer behind the Chronos range of high-speed cameras. He founded Kron Technologies, a Canadian company that makes them.

Videos follow ambitious electronics and engineering builds, such as a kilowatt LED light, an electric ducted fan aircraft and an electrically driven turbocharger. There are also detailed teardowns of specialist equipment like high-speed cameras and directional speakers. The tone is technical and thorough, and uploads are infrequent. Builds are explained in depth, covering circuit design, cooling and the problems that came up along the way. The teardown videos are especially useful for seeing how professional electronic products are put together inside.

Some highlights include:

The design and flight testing of a thrust-vectored electric ducted fan vehicle, a little like a small rocket.

The second part of a build to create an extremely powerful LED light from water-cooled modules.

A high-speed camera is mounted on a spinning lawnmower blade to film what really happens as it cuts.

The channel has over 68,000 subscribers.

This channel shows what serious electronic engineering looks like, including power electronics, thermal design and control systems. It also tells a real story of turning hobby projects into a hardware business. It suits older students interested in electronic engineering, aerospace or starting their own technology company. The videos are fairly technical, so they suit viewers who already know some basic electronics.
