During the workshop on how to light up an LED using human bodies, I was discussing and demonstrating participants different techniques of getting voltage from organic elements1. All vegetables and fruits brought for the workshop were generating up to 1 V electricity through attached copper and zinc electrodes. A human body generated 2 V electric energy. During further experiments, while connecting chains of five fruits and vegetables would generate more than 4 V of electric energy and could light up an LED (Fig. 2b.). Similar experiment connecting seven people into the chain produced 2 V of electric energy, which was not enough to light up an LED. | During the workshop on how to light up an LED using human bodies, I was discussing and demonstrating participants different techniques of getting voltage from organic elements1.

An LED could though be lit up with one human body. An example showing such an experiment is published by Youtube user with a nickname slider2732. Here the “battery” consists of human body, a couple of capacitors, resistor, a semi conductive stone like a ferrite or pyrite and a piece of aluminum. | An LED could though be lit up with one human body.
