Hello everyone, I bought a bottle dynamo for my bicycle with a rear and front light. Though I have one little tweak that I would like to add and that’s a way to keep it light up for about 1 minute (at least 30 sec) without pedaling. I thought of putting a capacitor in the circuit to store some energy but I would like what do you all think of it ?
Thank you for your time and have a nice day you all !
What I wanted to do was something like that
Though you seem to have a better knowledge and better circuit. I bought 2 super cap 5.5v so I wanted to put them in series (though get half the capacitance). Your approach seems to be better and I may take it. Though mine should be working ? Keep in mind that I’m a nooby in electronics and I keep learning from the internet so not the best to have solid base…
Does your solution works with 5.5V, the 6V dynamo does not blow it ?
Thank you for your answer I really like it.
Your solution may very well also work, good thinking. A few things to consider though:
