Description
Connect a genecon and 1 Farad capacitor. Spin the genecon to store energy in the capacitor that will cause the genecon to keep spinning until the energy runs out even after you stop. Can also store energy then disconnect from the capacitor to show that even if you wait m hour before connecting it, it will still cause the genecon to spin. Lastly, you can hook up a light to the capacitor to show the light getting dimmer as the capacitor runs out of battery.
