In this short LearnElectrics video we will take a look at how kinetic switches work. Many people have asked how kinetic switches can function when there are no wires between two-way switches. Why do we not need a neutral, how can I extend a lighting circuit with kinetic switches and a myriad of other questions.
This video will take a general look at how they work, a look at how they do what they do, and a follow-on video will look at the specifics of various types of switch and modifying different types of circuit.
We will look at the scientific term -kinetic energy – a explain this with simple comparisons and drawings so that it is easily understood.
Physics tells us that energy cannot be destroyed. It must go some-where, it must be passed on or converted into something else, and without getting too complicated we look at what this means for us.
And what happens in the switch? What happens when a switch with no wires is pressed? Why does the light come on?
