Hi
I'm want to design a circuit that uses two cycles of an AC pulse to power a LED for approx 1 second.
The pulse is generated by a magnet flipping twice inside a coil, generating a 5V pulse.
I was thinking of using a bridge rectifier to charge a capacitor which would be discharged by the LED.
Is this a good way of doing this? I'm not really sure the best way to arrange the LED and capacitor?
Could the rectifying be done by LEDs instead of normal diodes?
Thanks in advance
Tom
