Hooked up a multimeter and was generating around 1.5V
Then hooked up to a tiny incandescent light bulb with a couple wires, but the light did not turn on. Why not?
So, obviously I tested each component:
- Tried using different light bulbs and leds to make sure the bulb was not the problem.
The same bulbs did however worked fine with a single AA battery of 1.5V, so the bulb was not the problem.
Made sure multimeter was reading volts, mot millivolts.
Tried adding a few extra coins for extra voltage.
It was not a metal contact issue. I used the same two wires and connected to a battery, then coin battery, pushing very hard even, but still only worked with regular battery.
