Nocturnal Solar Engines

I found Nocturnal Solar engines while poking around on the net and I am very very interested in them. I also found out about supercaps which can hold huge amounts of power (1F and up).

So while I dont have any circuits yet, here are the links Im using as references.

Beam Circuits - A fantastic source of info
Interactive Mud - a blog entry detailing his build of the same solar engine I plan to build. Made it alot easier for me to understand the circuit and also he provided a full part list.
