Supercapacitor free flight planes | HackSpace #65
There are lots of designs out there to build electric planes that carry a small LiPo cell and a timer circuit, so that the propeller is only driven for a short and specific amount of time – often, less than a minute. This is an excellent approach, but there’s a little bit of a weight penalty carrying a battery and also a bit of complexity in building a timer circuit. The electric option we’re going to look at is using a supercapacitor to drive a motor and propeller, adjusting the amount you charge the supercapacitor to change the driven flight time.
