Capacitor Motorcycle

I've been desoldering a lot of boards recently, and now I have more components than I know what to do with. I got creative one moment and decided to make this tiny model motorcycle.

Materials

To build the main body, I used a capacitor and two toroid coils. For details, use whatever bits and components you have on hand. I used some diodes, a screw, resistors, and an ir sensor/emitter. Use a soldering iron, (with solder) and superglue to attach things.

Assembling the Frame

The toroid coil will have two leads, one coming from each side of the hole of the donut-like part. Solder each lead to a lead on the capacitor. Superglue another toroid coil to the flat end of the capacitor.

Use whatever electronic bits you have on hand to add handlebars, a headlight, a seat, engine parts, and any other details you wish to include.
