# Behind the scenes of AddOhms #11 (MOSFETs)


The 11th AddOhms Video is live and the subject is [What is a MOSFET, and how to use them](http://www.addohms.com/ep11 "AddOhms #11 - MOSFETs"). This turned out to be the longest video I've made so far. In fact, I probably should have broken off the power dissipation part, but felt it needed to be addressed. I think many non-engineers look at a MOSFET (or regulator) datasheet and see a huge power value or current rating, but not realize you need a heatsink to achieve them.

For the behind the scenes look this time, I grabbed my [GoPro Hero 3+](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3F0EIU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00F3F0EIU&linkCode=as2&tag=baldengineer-20&linkId=UFEUB5BJYU27AA5B "GoPro on Amazon") and recorded myself doing the Voice Over track. You can watch a few minutes of it, though honestly, not sure why you would!, [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIaIcu6JVnc).

Something new is a format change.  I decided to start moving towards showing a little bit more of me.  So I'm testing the waters with an introduction and exit.  Any comments on how this works?
