The following experiments show an effect that academic scientists do not understand. The effect consists of allowing a highly shielded passive LED or piezo element to rest undisturbed for several weeks. When the component becomes "undisturbed," it will begin to produce a measurable DC voltage & current. A wide range of diodes have been tested, ranging from microwave diodes to LEDs. Highly shielded piezos can produce over 7 volts DC, while some diodes produce over 1/2 volt DC.
Numerous academic scientists and engineers have successfully replicated the experiments. One academic scientists has a PhD in Physics in addition to a degree as an Electrical Engineer, who also specializes in diodes, LEDs, and lasers, and who has written numerous scientific papers has replicated my diode experiment. He confirmed my results. He does not understand how it could be possible. The key is that the highly shielded passive component *must* be undisturbed for a long time, preferably several weeks. Even touching the component can disturb it.
The effect appears to have something to do with intense internal electric fields found in passive components such as LEDs and piezo elements. When the component has been undisturbed for a sufficient duration of time, usually a few weeks, then the component begins producing a measurable DC voltage, and current if there's a resistive load. A good LED can produce over 1/2 volt DC, while piezos can produce over 7 volts DC, although piezos require extensive thermal insulation.
After a half of a decade of full time research the cause of this mysterious effect remains a mystery. It is not due to electrochemical reactions, as connecting numerous components in-parallel results in the same *DC* current. This mysterious in-parallel effect indicates there might be a quantum effect involved. It is not due to temperature gradients, as no shielding in low bandwidth components produces the same results as highly shielded components. Up to three layers of metal shielding in addition to 2 feet of thermal insulation have been used. It is not due to the voltage meter, as a component only connected to a low leakage capacitor will charge such capacitor. Up to 47uF have been used. It is not due to the rectification of known external radio waves since low bandwidth diodes produce the same results while unshielded in Los Angeles as they do in the middle of rural country inside a mountain. Furthermore, piezos are not rectifiers, yet they produce over 7 volts DC when shielded and undisturbed. It is not due to gamma rays, as placing a hot radioactive source one centimeter away from the passive component made no change.
Method #1 - The Surest quick method:
The surest quick methods is a quick and easy method merely to see the effect. If you become interested in this research, then eventually you'll probably want to use small mechanical tilt switches in conjunction with a small INA116PA electrometer chip.
The surest quick method uses an electrometer or voltage meter with ultra high input resistance. An AM-240 meter, ~ $40, by Amprobe works well enough. There's a great $10 electrometer chip that works the best, part # INA116PA. Every type of undisturbed diode I've tested has produced DC voltage & current, but certain LED's produce the most. For method #1, I recommend using an LED. Radio Shack sells an LED that when sufficiently *undisturbed* will produce hundreds of millivolts, part # 276-008. If you don't have access to a Radio Shack, then I can recommend parts commonly found in the UK. If you use a piezo element, then it *must* be void of electronics, only the raw piezo element itself. Piezos require a *lot* of thermal insulation. My recommendation is ~ 2 feet of thermal insulation for piezos. LED's only require a pitch dark environment, as light will initiate the slow reacting disturbance state. In a relatively dark room, carefully connect two wires (coated with plastic) to the LED. Place the LED inside a metal box on a piece of plastic such that the LED will rest in the middle of the metal box. Route both of the wires from the LED through a small pinhole in the metal box. As a test, connect your ultra high input resistance meter (AM-240 or INA116PA) to the wires to measure the DC voltage. Don't bother measuring DC current, as that requires connecting a high resistance load to the passive component and calculating the DC current from the DC voltage. Let the LED rest undisturbed for at least a few weeks. Make sure the LED/metal box is far away from wifi devices and routers. Measure the DC voltage again. To keep the LED passive component undisturbed, take no more than one measurement every two days.
For the 100% passive method you should always use the exact piezo element part number PKM13EPYH4000-A0 because there's no guarantee all other piezos can produce sufficient DC voltage to flash an LED.
The following method is a very simple and inexpensive 100% passive method that has no batteries or power supply. Yet it will charge an ultra low leakage capacitor enough to flash an LED. This method requires a room where the ambient temperature and pressure remain constant. See the above circuit. All of the parts are inside a metal chassis. Place a small pin hole in the metal chassis so that you can see the LED flash. You can glue a block of material that does not conduct electricity such as a plastic box (do not use wood) in the middle of the chassis, and then glue the circuit on the plastic box. Make sure the glue never touches the piezo element.
You will need some way of rotating the entire metal chassis so that the mechanical tilt switch closes. You can do this anyway you want, but make sure it does not vibrate at all, not even a little bit. Also, it is best to keep your hands as far away from the piezo as possible. The goal is to tilt the metal chassis without your hands because the heat from your hands can affect the piezo element a little bit even though it's inside the metal chassis, and over time this disturbs the piezo element. A disturbed piezo element does not produce much DC voltage and current. Make sure you place the LEDs in opposite direction. Most importantly, try to minimize the amount of time that you handle the piezo element. If your fingers directly touch the piezo element, then it could months to fully recover. Heat & static electricity can make the piezo become disturbed. Also, place the entire setup in a location that has the least daily temperature changes. Rapid temperature changes such as wind from an open door can cause the piezo to become disturbed. The disturbance effect is a slow reacting effect. Sometimes it can take days before you even know that you disturbed the component.
When it's complete, you will give the piezo element at least 2 weeks to rest. After several weeks, in a dark room slowly and carefully rotate the metal chassis so that the mechanical switch closes, which discharges the energy built up in the piezo element (and the optional capacitor if you wish) through the LED. Make sure you're watching the LED as you tilt the setup. You should no problems seeing the piezo flash. I would recommend that you give your eyes at least 15 minutes in the dark room to adjust so they can see the light even better. If you can record the event with a video camera, then great!
Once the LED flashes, you should let the piezo rest undisturbed for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours, as it's extremely easy to set the piezo in the disturbed state. Although, if you like, for the first time you can tilt the setup as many times as you like so that you can see that the act of tilting it does not produce energy that results in flashing the LED. I've rattled and shook the setup violently trying to do anything to get it to flash the LED. It does not happen. What flashes the LED is the piezo element caused by an unknown effect that to date no physicists has been able to explain. Over the years debating this in forums, I think just about everything from cleaning the parts to the Earths ionosphere has been discussed. So far, nothing explains *all* of the effects seen from these parts. There are numerous effects seen in these experiments besides the fact that they can produce DC current and voltage when undisturbed. There is the ~ 10pA effect. There is in-parallel effect, the size effect, etc.
Please note that every time you flash the LED that there will be a surge of electrical current that flows through the piezo element. This surge slowly disturbs the piezo element, so if you flash the LED too often, you will eventually set the piezo in the disturbance state. It is possible to not disturb the piezo by separating the days far enough.
Eventually, when you find how often you can flash your LED on a consistent basis, you will discover that the average DC current will not exceed ~ 10pA. For reasons unknown, these components when fully undisturbed, and regardless of how large the component is or how many are placed in-parallel, the DC current will not exceed ~ 10pA. This is the 10pA effect, but there are ongoing experiments right now using a modified design that might break the 10pA limitation.
