I got the new Pitsco 2001 catalog in the mail today, and noticed that
there's a LEGO solar panel available. Is this a new product? I was under
the impression that LEGO didn't make a solar panel. Anybody know what
its mA output (in direct sunlight) is? I also noticed a LEGO capacitor.
What sort of implimentations would a capacitor have?
