| picture of the geardrive and solarengine test setup | I hooked up a FLED solar engine to a Supercap from a Hotwheels car and use three solar cells (for testing under artificial light). Works great. I tried it in sunlight yesterday and it charges in app. 5 minutes with three solar cell, so one-two cells should be fine. When it triggers the motor runs for app. 30-40 seconds. |

| A pager motor plane should not exceed 16 grams, so we use dc/dc converters
to step up the voltage. Alternatively they can be used in multi-engine
models where it is easier to carry 4 (small) NiMH cells. The models are
controlled with infrared remote control equipment
There are pictures of a single cell, pager motorized model here:
