Week 5 - Energy - First Idea

Despina mentioned that last year, in this assignment, a student created a necklace that used lemon and cooper to build a battery.
My curiosity was so big that when I arrived home, i decide to search online about it and I discovered that is also possible to create a battery not only with lemon but also with vinegar, with a potato and with the human body.

My first idea was to try to create an object/ light that needed multiple people to light up
I was interested in working with light and also with people. After searching how to create a human battery, I had the idea of creating an object that changes behavior according to the number of people that are connected to it ( every person act as a battery). Maybe doing a lamp with a table, I don't know... but the idea of having this kind of experience to see how many people need to be connected to light up a bulb, attracted me.

I tested a little bit with a multimeter to see how many volts one person and two person can create alone and together. It was just a little, around 0,03 or 0.06 volts. Maybe I'll do this experience later but because now I'm having so many assignments for this week, that I don't have time to develop this idea.
