Supercapacitor add-ons keep Julian Ilett's electronics shelf busy
Charging modules and an energy-harvesting board offer a catch-up week with no new uploads.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Supercapacitor Adornments - HM1160 and CN3158
The modules have work to do. Julian Ilett's "Supercapacitor Adornments - HM1160 and CN3158" pairs two boards with a straightforward purpose: charging and discharging his supercapacitors. It is the channel's busiest video right now, with a much stronger daily audience than the other electronics projects drawing attention.
Ilett posted nothing new this week, but his library added about 20,000 views. Subscribers stayed unchanged, while today's viewing pace is below his usual daily level. This is a smaller viewing week than those of nearby DIY channels such as lexi abreu and Cottage and Company, rather than a burst of activity around a fresh build.
There is a clear thread through the projects available to catch up on: making useful power out of modest electronics. "Playing with Energy Harvesting - BQ25504" explores a board using a Texas Instruments chip, a natural fit for Ilett's interest in solar-powered workshop projects and inexpensive components. Farther back, "TPS61178 Synchronous Boost Converter (ST30)" adds voltage conversion to the mix. The supercapacitor modules remain the main draw, putting the practical business of getting energy in and out ahead of a new gadget reveal.
