Basic solarengine

I built a small solar engine circuit from http://www.makezine.com. It basically accumulates energy from a solar panel (or another source) and once there's enough, it triggers a small motor. To trigger an LED, you have to add a small resistor in parallel with the LED.

Changing the size of the capacitor changes the frequency at which the motor is powered on.
