Hello everyone, I bought a bottle dynamo for my bicycle with a rear and front light. Though I have one little tweak that I would like to add and that's a way to keep it light up for about 1 minute (at least 30 sec) without pedaling. I thought of putting a capacitor in the circuit to store some energy but I would like what do you all think of it ?

Thank you for your time and have a nice day you all !

Your typical bike dynamo puts out 6V AC. I bet yours does as well, so that diode sounds like a good idea.

Seems bad so, I have to make a diode bridge rectifier so =\ need to scrap more diode ! Too bad as I wanted to make something small
