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 !
I could be wrong, but wouldn’t the capacitor keep it from turning on until charged?
It should be possible to wire it so that when the battery is on, the light turns on instantly while also charging the capacitor. Battery meaning paddling
Yes but it should not be like 30 seconde long I think, so it should be OK for a bicycle :)
