What would be real useful would be a components and performance table
i.e. for each engine etc. a ref. to the builder, transistors/ cap, motor type &
make , trigger
( fled, Vc detector etc. solar cell type and voltage)
Such a grid could also include performance details for that combination of
components
charge time and run timings e.g. { a 3 second pulse every 1.5 minutes 6 foot
from a 100w bulb}
these details would be very useful for builders who would have a yardstick as to
the performance they could expect
and since there are so many combinations ,especially if you include manufacturer
such a table may help identify performance improvements.
such a table would also be an off the shelf parts list for beginner's based on
proven combinations of components.

Personally I would love to see successful 1381type engines that use an
alternative Voltage detector.

thinking about it I'm game to compile the table if anyone wants to send me
their engine details
give it a couple of months and Ill post it to the list ???
With all those on the list that should be quite a few

What do you all think ?????
