The algorithm recommended this video and I'm very glad it did. Fabulous content. Loved you're ability to teach complex topics while injecting some laugh out loud humour. Would give 2 thumbs up if I could.

ONe small point, for centrifugal impellers in hand driers and vacuum cleaners, they won't actually "blow backwards" if they are spun backwards, they just continue to blow forwards, but with much less efficiency (unless the impeller is designed with zero blade sweep (ie 90 blades, where there pumping efficiency is independant of rotation direction).

The British sense of humor is turned up to eleven, overlaid with a genius level IQ. I learned digital and analog electronics back in 1980. His videos and a delight to watch.
