Hi guys, I was bored so I took a fauxton into the shower. The water shorted it out so I couldn't turn it off. After 4 or 5 days it was still lit at a good brightness. There was lots of corrosion inside the light. Could the water react to the metal to create power? Coin cells can't be this powerful.
 
Hello there, this is R@ndom's sister. I regret to inform you that he has died in a horrific accident...

Just an update, I poured some strong acid (apple cider vinigar) on the light last might. Now it still is between quark moonlight and my phone screen in brightness.
 
the act of corroding/rusting does reallocate electrons...perhaps some went through the LED, but it would have to be corroding at an alarming rate to produce any sort of current i would think...sell your idea to GE they'll try anything!:sssh:
 
I know it's somehow the same principal of lemon batteries. Just baffles me how powerful it can be.
