I'm wondering if transistors can be used to automatically switch back and forth between 2 banks of capacitors? The low voltage power source (microbial fuel cell) needs to charge one bank while the other is discharging, without risk of polarity reversal (which the capacitors may protect against?). Does anyone here know where I can find this info? I'll be using a breadboard and some basic components to experiment with this idea but I'm not sure where to start. I have a bank of MFCs producing between 1.8 and 2.2 volts.
