   charging a capacitor from a solar cell?    
   17 Nov 07 04:08:37   
   
   From: sales@dakotaairparts.com   
      
   I'm working on  a project for school and want to set up a solar cell to   
   charge up a couple of really big (size of a soda can) capacitors and then   
   once they are charged have a relay or something close and send the power   
   stored in the capacitors to a small electric gear motor.   
      
   The idea is that the solar cell doesn't have enough output to power the   
   motor continuously but if it charges the capacitors up over a period of   
   time until there is enough current to run a small motor for a few   
   seconds.   
      
   Any ideas?   
      
   Thanks, Bill
