Engineer's Supercapacitor Santa

youmagine

Print out the various components. Paint Santa and his reindeer using vibrant colors. Remove the female end of a servo extension cable, then solder two wires to the gear motor. Insert the motor into its designated holder. Secure the motor holder to the "ring with base" using a strong adhesive. Attach the "shaft connector" to the "flying bar." Place the shaft connector onto the motor shaft. Take out the male end of a servo extension cable and connect two wires to the supercapacitor (or battery). Join the power cable and motor cables together, and the ornament will be up and running. The supercapacitor, although it packs a lot of farads, is rated for only 0.4 watt hours of energy storage - less than half what an AAA battery stores. This capacitor can be recharged in under a minute (depending on the power supply attached) and can withstand being recharged over 500,000 times. The ornament will run for many hours on a single charge. Santa and his reindeer were brought to life using clay by my wife, Annelle. They were scanned with a MakerBot Digitizer and merged with 123d designs using TinkerCad. Annelle handled the painting process.
