Another reader posted this tidbit from the LED article  Unless it is meant to be a shock article, it is completely commonplace for a diode to emit light, even when no voltage is applied at all! Quoting a photonics textbook:[/size]
"At room temperature, the intrinsic concentration of electrons and holes in GaAs is n1 == 1.8 * 10^6 cm^-3. Since the radiative electron-hole recombination coefficient rr == 10^-10 cm^3/s, the electroluminescence rate Rrnp=RrN^2i == 324 photons/ cm^3-s... this corresponds to an optical power density == 7.4 * 10^-17 W/cm^3."Photodiodes will emit light on their own, and a semiconductor with a lower bandgap will emit even more equilibrium light than GaAs. Since clearly this is a non-equilibrium system, there is probably more to it than just that.report[/li]

 GaAs is ten times faster than silicon when its used to make a chip according to a MIT lecture I saw online.Same design but use a different material( GaAs)   and you get chips that are ten times faster than silicon chips.triffid

12 gauge copper wire and 14 gauge steel wire might produce more amps in my cells.triffid

This LED is not 100% efficient, it just employs thermoelectric current instead of galvanic one. You can power the normal LED with thermocouple with the same result. In this rudimentary case the PN junction inside of LED just serves as such thermocouple.http://www.youtub...D2pxvxgUreport[/li]

Thank you for showing us the two copper thermocouple videos, this was a really cool video. I always thought in-order to make a thermocouple you needed two dissimilar metals and heat one of them, I never knew you could do it with just copper!

I'm working on a concept for a new circuit that be able to power LED on micro-amps. The proof of concept worked but more testing is underway.
