In this video we will be having a closer look at 4 Electronics Myths I heard quite often over the year. That includes using tin foil as a fuse, using a motor as an inductor, using 2 power supplies in parallel and coupling signals from and to a mains power line using capacitors. Really interesting stuff! But is it all true and possible or just a myth?! Let's find out! :-)
