If you make this array large enough (without enough parallel lines) the global resistance will drop enough for it to charge a super capacitor in less than 10 seconds maybe.
And no step down transformer required. It may be a large array, but I think 1/4 watt components is all you need because the power is nicely spread out throughout it, so its very cheap! or it can also work nicely with nyckel chrome wire!
So next time I go to the electronics shop, I'm going to see if I can charge my 3000 farad super cap in less than 10 seconds just off a 30v 3a power supply, that would be cool if it works.
The only problem is if the powersupply comes off the series charging lines down the parallel lines. (thats what the resistors are there for) then that will stuff it, but its wired so that doesnt happen hopefully.
so its either winding a transformer, or building this rc array, they both probably take some time, but either way its fairly cheap. But since I'm into capacitors ill give this one a whirl and see if it works.
