A Transistor Explained Through a Swing Gate
A one-minute electronics explainer moves from macro hardware to a blue circuit diagram, a water-gate analogy, and a live failure example.

Why it works
The physical component is named at 0:00, then an unlit bulb and red X turn its default state into a visual question around 0:06; this aligns with the strongest replay peak at 0:06.6–0:07.2. A roughly 25-second pipe-and-gate analogy builds one causal model before the lit circuit at 0:50–0:55 transfers it back to the real mechanism. The final flame shot at 0:57 gives the threshold rule a memorable limit.
