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:

Yup, I have fix a voltage regulator in my circuit, thanks!
