Rick Hartley's talk is cited as a source on keeping power and ground inductance low and on where decoupling capacitors really need to sit.
ElectroBOOM's inductor explainer is pointed to for grasping inductance, kickback from inductive loads and how transformer coils couple energy between each other.
Offered to people puzzled by how inductors behave, and credited with making the idea click through sound explanation and good visuals.
Pointed to as a clear introduction to what inductors do and how they store energy, often as one step in a sequence of tutorials.
Footage of a large sustained arc at a substation, linked to illustrate what happens when current in an inductive circuit is interrupted.
