with your windups could you use a super Cap inline to make the gens Content current.?
You could replace all your solar panels with this one FreeCharge winding device. Just think – building a not too high mast, attaching a propeller to it and connecting at the end that freechare device – wouldnt be this beautiful, free energy, wind turbine?
"It's actually quite hard work, keeping up a constant ten Watts."
Exactly how much hard work? Well, at least ten Joules per second!
love this, Great video, funny, keep up the good work
how good is super capacitors for making such stuff?
I want to make a flashlight metro 2033 style, and i want to know that the wind up charges a battery or a capacitor?, in the game for a seconds of charge you get something like 10min of light
Very interesting Julian thanks 🙂
lol whats in my bag love it .
it's black……………….
That rubbery finish is usually a transparent layer applied on top of any printing, so removing it is OK with a solvent that doesn't attack the base layer or printing. I did an MP3 player recently using isopropanol, which did the job but took some time. Stripped it, left the case to soak for a day or so, then rubbed the finish off with a cloth. But it really needs something a little stronger – ethanol in the form of surgical spirit is next on the list.
Wouldn't those cheap wind up things store their energy in a capacitor rather than a battery? That would explain why they go flat so quickly.
Julian I know by watching this video you are heading after to the car boot sell 🙂
Great video. Does anyone use jump starters these days ? I was trying to remember the last time I had a flat battery, it has to be 20 years ago.
What is your obsession with wind up stuff?
