Thanks for the nice feedback, and please let us know when you post more projects!
I'm trying to assemble a similar circuit, but taking the power from a DC motor used as a generator.
In this case the current is uneven and produces high voltage "spikes" which tend to burn the circuit downstream.
Any advice how to get rid of this problem? Could a big electrolytic condenser protect efficiently the electronics?

Hi, Manlio.
Adding capacitors might help. You might find this application note about dealing with motor noise helpful.
