Hey guys if you remember me from before I had a type 1 solar engine
with two transistors, 1 cap, 1 cell, 1 resister(2.2k), 1 zener diode. I used
2 1.5v bateries to make 3v and when i hook it up to an engine instead of a
cell (so that i can check it) the motor spins like crazy but if i hook up the
cell nothing happens. I did the following, I disconected zener diode and
connected the power source and now interesting thing happens: When I connect
the diode back for like half a second the motor starts spinning and comes to
stop slowly in about 10 seconds. Now If i do the same thing but connect the
diode for about 2 seconds and then let go, the motor spins forever with no
stoping. So now i was thinking either its the diode that is defective or
something else that i dont know and hopping somebody will help me with this.
