Snap Circuits Super-Simple Capacitor/Light/Rechargeable Battery

This is a really simple light, battery charge reader, capacitor charger, and if you like watching a pointer go up and down then its also a game.

If you are wondering how it recharges batteries, then follow the following bonus.

BONUS: How to charge a battery in this.

You can substitute the B4 for a B1 and then put the positive jumper wire from the solar panel on to the positive contact, wait a very short while and voila! Your charger is made!

Step 1: The Parts

You will need:

2 slide switches (or more if you want to substitute some press switches for slide ones)

1 Solar Panel (B7) http://www.snapcircuits.net/products/product_detai...

1 3.6 volt Battery (B4) http://www.snapcircuits.net/products/product_detai...

1 Hand Crank (HC) http://www.snapcircuits.net/products/product_detai...

1 3 Way switch (S5) http://www.snapcircuits.net/products/product_detai...

3 Press switches (S2) http://www.snapcircuits.net/products/product_detai...

1 Meter (M6) http://www.snapcircuits.net/products/product_detai...

2 470uf capacitors

1 100uf capacitor

1 LED (I used D5 http://www.snapcircuits.net/products/product_deta...

Some 1-snap wires

Some 2-snap wires

Some 3-snap wires

Some other snap wires (up to 6-snap)

Lots of fun

That's it!

UPDATE: I forgot to add that you need some short jumper wires-about 3.

Step 2: Assembly

Use the pictures for help...

I built this before I took pics of the circuit...

Sorry for the inconvenience that this may have caused

There is a more basic version of it above (took before I knocked all the pieces off the board)

Step 3: Enjoy!!!!
