Levitators in the sun

These 2 levitators, from a video the other day were tested in actual sunlight today. The homemade one has a propeller on the front and can spin up well enough to lift forward from the magnetic supports. The other levitator, a commercial product that i’ve converted, is shown spinning around nicely – which it wasn’t really doing so well in the other video. The driving circuit is the SS1CC of sMartcreations2010, find that on his channel. Lidmotor also shows the circuit in videos and has developed it for similar pulse motor projects. Quite the winner of a circuit ! the only change of mine, is that the usual 1000uF capacitor is 2x1000uF, as that seems more forgiving to run both levitators.
