Part 6/8:
Experimental Variations and Tips
Diode Choices
Paul emphasizes the importance of using germanium diodes for their efficiency in low-voltage environments. Silicon diodes tend to require more time and higher voltage to reach the same energy levels, making germanium diodes preferable for rapid and effective energy collection.
Multiple Circuits
For those interested in experimenting beyond a single setup, Paul discusses connecting two circuits together. Although this may sometimes result in less voltage, it can increase current flow, potentially making the system more useful for powering devices.
