Instead of a stupid soundtrack from your favorite kiddie movie, why do you not explain what,how, and why you are doing it? Oh yeah, the disclaimer at the end is just pussy cya.

@sedera12 This actually uses Cuprous Oxide, a semiconductor. Photons let the "lower" electrons pass the band gap and flow into the solution until they reach the copper, on the other end of the container.
It's a so called solar battery because it will read voltages also in the dark, but when exposed to light it produces much more energy.
If you're interested in a "real" solar cell, take a look at the TiO2-antocyanin based cell. I think I'm going to make some to power a microcontroller.

i think it is hilarious with the disclaimer, of do not try this at home.... doesnt it look like that was exactly what they were doing?
Why was he wearing saftey goggles and ear plugs for putting copper in salt water?
