Pee Powered Flashlight! Does it Really Work?

[@jupiter3888]

interesting, i assume the internal battery is just missing the liquid electrolyte inside the cell and then gets activated when dipped in liquid. I wonder if it's the added salt content in the urine that caused it to activate quicker and brighter. what would happen if you used a salt water solution? is sea water enough salt? what if you used a super saturated salt water brine as the dipping electrolyte? would it shine brighter but have shorter lifetime? so many questions 😀

I know right...yes, it is the transport electrolyte. The better conductivity of the liquid, the quicker it seemed to light up and was initially brighter. The thing stayed lit up for about 10 days in my garage without even re-dipping. Pretty cool!
