Subject: [alt-beam] FLED solarengine
hello all..i'm back Muaahah
i was bumming around once when i thought of how the photodiode functions.
correct me fi i am wrong, but the photodiode conducts when it is in low
light conditions, am i right?
so i was thinking.. if one is to construct a photovore using 2 1831 or FLED
solar engines, then, instead of using 2 solar cells, attach 2 photodiodes
instead, (perhaps to one of the motor's power lines).. would the photovore
still work as it is supposed to? well.. gotta wait till i get more
photodiodes before i try this out.. meanwhile.. has anyone tried this
before? and.. in the first place... is this workable?
