Okay, here's top and bottom photos of the LEGO capacitor's circuit board. They're not the best, but the circuit board is only about 1" square. (URL) Regards Micah J.

(...) Well, I could certainly create an artificial environment which would increase the solar cell's output without the need for scheduling another test on the summer solstice, if you were merely curious as to its maximum output based on the cell's (...)

(...) I'd suggest that you try this again mid-summer. The solar radiation angle is still fairly low at this time of year with much of the energy being scattered by the atmosphere as well as being spread over a larger surface area of the earth. I (...)

| | Solar Cell Output in Direct Sunlight
|

Well, it finally got sunny here. In direct sunlight, the solar cell seems to put out about 4V, 135mA (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.dacta)

These results are preliminary, but they'll give you some idea of the solar cell's capabilities. Outdoors - Full Overcast Voltage: 3.5V Amperage: 30mA Incandescent Lightbulb - 100W@1" Voltage: 4.1V Amperage: 150mA Indandescent Lightbulb - 100W@6" (...)
