"My human body is acting as a wireless energy receiver which can supply enough electricity to light up this "White Led". The maximum energy transfer distance to the led is about 20" ( 50cm) and the total current generated is about 650 micro-amps...This experiment proves that the human body does pick up residual energy from our environment, just like a solar cell that coverts sunlight into electricity...
