I have an small electronic toy bug that jumps around, powered by a LR44 1.5V button cell battery. I want to replace the battery with a capacitor so that I can use a hand crank to charge the capacitor and the bug can run off person power.
I've seen this toy set up like this before and am keen to replicate it. The only thing I am unsure about is what specific electrolytic capacitor to choose. Any advice? V? uF? I have no idea how to choose so any advice would be great! I only want it to work for a few minutes before needing to be charged again. (The hand crank I have says 'max volts 8V DC out' if that makes a difference.)
Cheers!
