***Edit: Unfortunately, the high and low oscillator triggers need modified, and a charge current limiter needs added, due to testing in real life which showed that somewhat unpredictable oscillations can also occur, therefore I’d urge everyone not to try building this until I’ve made a version 2. Sorry guys, it needs a bit more development than I originally thought.
The frequency of oscillations automatically adapt to the load. (The higher the load current, the shorter the duration of the load current will be, and therefore the higher the frequency will be). Once the pulsed load current ends it’s cycle, the charge controller automatically cuts-off all current to the load while simultaneously recharging the super-cap with a separate MOSFET at a very fast rate.
This circuit only needs a 5v source input; by using a super-capacitor and a charge control circuit (built in here), the load can continuously draw crazy high amounts of current in short bursts, with the only limits being the resistance of the load, resistance of the wires that carry the heavy load current, the characteristics of the MOSFETs being used, and the ESR and Frequency characteristics of the super-cap being used! You can even power this circuit with batteries without sacrificing maximum load current, the only drawback is a slower recharge rate of the super-cap.
***Unfortunately this circuit has a high tendency to glitch EveryCircuit, so if that happens just reset the SPST switch, press play again, and if necessary, slow down the sim speed once it starts going.
***Sorry for any sim problems guys, it should work no problem in real life. However, if building it in reality, your gonna wanna do something just a little different to save your battery life, so if that’s something you’d like to do then let me know in the comments and I’ll let you know what else you would wanna do. (Although this should work no prob, If you find that it doesn’t, let me know, and I’ll give you an idea of which values to tweak)
