For capacitors, voltage translates to electrons stored —the voltage drop across a capacitor is proportional to its total charge.) And where a traditional wildlife tracker costs €3,500 to €4,000, the Kinefox costs about €270 in materials, according to researchers at Max Planck. In the future, DIY may not even be necessary.
