Hi there! Thanks for making time to check in with my project =)
Over the past two weeks, I have increased the amount of research and started to design circuits! By designing circuits, I can have a plan of what to do before I test it. I want to make around 2-3 different designs and then over the next few weeks, start to actually make them, which is the fun part!
Right below I have put a picture of a very basic design that I have drawn out. Essentially, there needs to be two electrodes (conductors through which electricity enters or leaves an object) inside saltwater and they need to be connected to an LED light. From the research I've done, I found that the light will have maximum brightness and efficiency when the distance 'r' between the electrodes is large.

In future posts, expect to see pictures of the circuits I experiment with. I hope it is successful! Then, after I finalize the circuit, I can work on incorporating it into a flashlight. I am at the most challenging stage of my project, but it is also the most exciting part.
Come back in a few weeks for more!!
