This is may be a bit Off Topic
With all the talk about the lego solar cell, (and cap) I went and got
one of each. They are a nice curiosity, but as of right now, I can't
seem to find any robot applications. Maybe when the sun comes back to
Toronto, I'll play a bit more. Unfortunately with a 60w incandescent
light the cell is a bit boring. I'd like to try to see if maybe I can
use it as a sensor. maybe a crude light sensor. (shrug) As for the
capacitor...... I'm going to have to wait for other ideas from the
group to see what can be done with it.
My question is to ask if anyone has noticed a "clam shell" etched in the
clear plastic covering the actual cell. On mine the "Shell logo" (as
seen here: http://www.shell.ca/ ) is opposite the power connector. Why
would a lego product have a Shell logo?
Thanks
Chris

| (...) I believe the cell is made by Shell's photovoltaics division. (URL) Regards Micah J. Mabelitini - LUGNET #918 The University of Kentucky SECC Middlesboro Academic Skills Resource Center accutron@kih.net - (URL) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
