Problem with constant dc supply by capacitor

AI Thread Summary
To obtain a constant DC voltage from a capacitor to supply a device, a direct connection is insufficient due to voltage drop. A voltage regulator is recommended, such as a 5V DC boost regulator, to maintain the necessary voltage level. Alternatively, using a SEPIC DC-DC converter can effectively manage voltage fluctuations as the capacitor discharges. Implementing these solutions can ensure that the device receives a stable voltage supply. The discussion highlights the importance of voltage regulation in capacitor-based power systems.

I have a problem
how can i obtain a constant value of dc voltage from a capacitor(dynamo) to supply a device..
As we know if the capacitor is directly connected to the device, the voltage will drop and the device will not have enough voltage to function.
what is a better way?

Or you can use a SEPIC DC-DC converter, which would allow you to have the capacitor voltage initially above the output regulated voltage, and as the capacitor discharges, its output voltage can fall below the output regulated voltage:

@Apache: any of this help at all?
 
Yup, I have fix a voltage regulator in my circuit, thanks!
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
