Hiya peoples,
After playing around with a stepper motor and a few big caps I can get an array of high powered led's to light the way home from my shed to to the house which is around 500 metres away. Now using 5 10,000uf caps I could get around 1/2 an hour out of the array but I found a place where I can get some 50 farad caps :shock: :shock: :shock: .
Now I'll be able to make up a simple wind genny to charge up the caps and have a nite light all nite long. Well these cap's will have much more use in my workshop I've got to say to date the biggest cap I can get in Oz is 1 farad.
Anyways here's the link to Coopers that make the caps
**broken link removed**
