Today the 6 in-series green LED array, Radio Shack part number 276-009, shattered the record for maximum recorded DC voltage at producing 1.10 volts DC! Here's the details from past two days of measurements --> Yesterday 2009/7/30, 5 pm PT, 78 F, 232 mV. This measurement was taken shortly after placing the green ...

Today the IR photodiode measured @ 23.3pA. Hopefully tomorrow will tell if the IR photodiode is indeed going to hang around 22pA, or not. If it hangs around 22pA, then it could mean diodes are a "power source." That is, they try to produce a constant power, which would make the equation --> Pout = 10pA^2 * Rz ...

[edit: see Diode Records for updates. A small diode array inside metal shielding produced 1.10 volts.] Last night an hour or so before going to bed I soldered a 1.0uF mylar capacitor to the green LED, let it rest for awhile, and placed it inside a closed desk that is inside the dark room. It should be inside a metal ...
