It's a fun experiment that led to a lot of discussions about perpetual motion and free energy. My version does not exhibit either of these properties, but you may be able to fool people into thinking it does. This is a really easy build and would be...

Jar of Fireflies - More DIY How To Projects]]> http://cdn.instructables.com/FIY/FTZ5/QIYEWPKHFSJ/FIYFTZ5QIYEWPKHFSJ.SQUARE2.jpg http://cdn.instructables.com/FIY/FTZ5/QIYEWPKHFSJ/FIYFTZ5QIYEWPKHFSJ.SQUARE.jpg http://cdn.instructables.com/FIY/FTZ5/QIYEWPKHFSJ/FIYFTZ5QIYEWPKHFSJ.SMALL.jpg E7U5HYMSVIEWP86SAL Keso This project uses green surface-mount LED's along with an AVR ATTiny45 microcontroller to simulate the behavior of fireflies in a jar. (note: the firefly behavior in this video has been greatly sped up in order to be easier to represent in a short film. The default behavior has significantly mor...

This reprogramming can be done with light and shadow, e.g. you could use your flashlight.This is...

How does it work, that they are able to blink all together without having a kind of boss firefly?This instructable gives a solution and shows how this synchronization can be achieved.I have al...
