Why

Parts

Current recommended

The current recommended voltage regulator is a L200''.

Benefits

  • can handle up to 60V, which is around the surge you'd expect when you start up a human-powered source (for instance, the spike from a bike-power generator when you start to pedal)

Open questions

  • what is its behavior at spikes over 60V? constant input?
