Played with LED strip and noticed some diodes glow when we touch them with fingers. The strip is not connected to anything. On one hand, I understand that the electric energy comes from somewhere around. On the other hand, I don't understand what exactly is happening there. Can we leverage this effect somehow? :)
@caujka afaik it's from the energy in the air such as cell towers, wifi, etc.. where your hand bridging the connection is enough to make the LED to glow a bit.
There are solutions designed for this kind of workflow as well such as
