Hi. I bought one of those 1mH coils from solarbotics, and a
supercapacitor, in the hopes that I could cobble together a little circuit
to light an LED when I drive under those huge high tension wires. I figured
if I choose the component sizes to make a tank circuit with a 60Hz
fundamental frequency, I could somehow get a voltage and draw off power to
charge up the supercap. Then it could be used to drive a blinkey light.
But on paper, after I connect the coil and a capacitor of the right size
together (in parallel?), I'm stuck. What do I do next?
Do any of you know of a circuit that can do this, or can you give me
some advice on how to proceed? Thanks.
