I have a problem, I need a power supply for my model airplanes. I am learning electronics but it is difficult.
What I need is a power supply that uses capacitors to power a motor for up to 15 seconds. If I use a battery it could fly for 3 minutes, in which time it can get out of sight. The output smoothness doesn't matter as long as the device produces alot of power for 10-15 seconds. The motor is 1.5-3.0 vDC and has a 0.98A current draw at maximum efficiancy. This doesn't matter much because the power supply might fluctuate and I could run the motor at more than that. But idealy that is how the motor should be run.
I could also run a small rechargable battery and drain that very fast as long as it supplies the power I need. But i still don't know how to do it.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
