    Mini wind turbine to light an LED

    GREAT SUCCESS. Have the LED lighting up from the discharging capacitor. Thanks for the circuit schematics! I am having trouble with the capacitor holding the charge however - once the turbine turns and the switch is closed to the capacitor it charges, however as the turbine slows down the...

    Mini wind turbine to light an LED

    Thank you very much for all your replies, they are really really appreciated! I believe the small amount of voltage created from the turbine will be an issue. However in the mean time I have tried using a power pack to provide a small voltage (roughly 2.5V) that successfully lights the LED when...

    Mini wind turbine to light an LED

    Hi there, I am trying to breadboard a circuit which uses a mini wind turbine to power a generator and charge a super-capacitor. Once charged, a switch is pressed to discharge the super-capacitor and illuminate an LED. I have searched all over the place and can't find a circuit diagram which...
