I have an old snap circuits pro kit, so I'm experimenting with low voltage capacitor banks. My issue is I would like to create a circuit that can charge 5 capacitors and then another button discharge them all onto a load at once. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this? This would greatly help me in my project! Thanks for help!

 

Welcome to AAC.

Fore this u need to tell us Load Power, capacitor values and the cap charger supply details

 

Hello,

What will be the purpose of the fast discharge of capacitors?
I hope it is NOT for a coilgun.

A simple toggle switch will accomplish that. You can exceed their amperage rating quite a bit for really short term surges. Of course, when the contacts weld shut you know you've got too far.
