Hey guys. Im just thinking aloud.
Im wanting to hook up a small turbine/solar system to an aquaponics system that i have set up at home. I want water circulation via a small DC air pump but i do not require this to be continuous.
My question is, because of the larger internal resistance of the batteries, it would be expected that i'd get more charge for the same voltage supplied by the solar cell.
Would it be feasible to just hook up a couple of super capacitors to a my solar system and just allow it to charge/discharge running a small air pump? Is there a way that I could slow down the discharge from the capacitors to the order of a few minutes per discharge?
My apologies for if this seems a stupid question, i am by no means experienced in electronics. Dan
