Hi!
I'm building a Faraday flashlight and when I test my generator I'm getting about 200mA at 0.5V. The LED that I'm using is rated at 3V and the capacitor at 5.5V. After 60 seconds of shaking the capacitor only had about 150mA at 0.5v stored, so the LED didn't light. Does anyone have any ideas about how I could step up my voltage to about 3V? Would splitting up the single solenoid into 6 separate ones connected in series up the voltage?
Thanks,
Joonas
