Using Zener Diodes: Voltage Regulator (Part 1 and 2)

Using Zener Diodes (Part 1) - Voltage Regulator and Zener Theory
Using Zener Diodes (Part 2!) - Making a Voltage Regulator

PLAY PART 1

PLAY PART 2

Part 1: Consists of a demonstration of Standard diodes vs zener diodes and how they work to regulate voltage.

Part 2: Consists of how to properly construct your own regulator using Zener Diodes. How to properly current limit the circuit, chose the correct Zener and resistor, and calculate current for your chosen load.
