Introduction: Free Energy From LEDs

Step 1: Round Up Some LEDs!

First you'll need to get however many LEDs you want. You'll then want to connect the LEDs in a series, leaving a positive and negative wire.

NOTE: This works with any LEDs, but I have found that it works best with Red LEDs

Step 2: Go Towards the Light!

Then you'll want to get a light source (lamp or daylight) and put the circuit right in the strongest part of the light.

Step 3: It's As Simple As That!

Just hook up the wires to a voltmeter and you'll see how much power they are generating. I was able to produce 1 volt just by using 3 LEDs and a bright lamp.

(As if you couldn't tell, this is my first ible, so some advice would be greatly appreciated)
