Hello all,
I have an idea to use energy stored in a capacitor to drive a small DC motor in the event of power loss to the system.
Will something like this actually work? How would I determine the size of capacitor needed?
I assume that I would charge the capacitor each time the motor runs normally, so in the event of power loss after a loading cycle, I would be able to then activate a switch, and used the stored energy to complete a singl unloading cycle.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
