Im trying to build a ligtning detector that flashes an led with each
strike.
Yes there are many circuits on the net, usually involve
transistors/fets but I want to do
this with no power source other than the lightning.
I was thinking of connecting an antenna to an audio transformer and
have the secondary connected to a led and perhaps zener. I dont want
to blow the led as Im trying to power it
with induced electricity. Yes I could just connect an NE2 neon to an
antenna and maybe have a cap across it but I specifically wana power a
led that eventually may be part of an optocoupler
and counter.
any good ideas appreciated
