Comment on What's the best way to add a battery like device to a dynamo light
tia@lemmy.world 1 month agoYour solution may very well also work, good thinking. A few things to consider though:
- Putting capacitors in series requires balancing them
- A silicon full bridge rectifier drops ~1.4V frm the input
- Incandecent bulbs require a lot of current to get going, this may result in a delay for them to turn on

Ok, I forgot the voltage drop =\ I got LED light so should be fine. What I should do is put your circuit to the test without the capacitor and check if the voltage is low enough for the capacitor to handle ? How should I balance the capacitors ? (Even if I will not take this path, I would like to know)
Thanks again for your help
