The cooking oil is pointless because it doesn't mix with the water so it does nothing to prevent it drying out. Mineral Oil is actually used as an insulator in high voltage transformers. So you're only increasing the internal resistance of your battery. The reason being that oil is not a polar substance. It has a fairly even charge, unlike water, which is quite polar. Hence they don't mix. Bit also, nonpolar solvents don't conduct electricity very well at all. Even worse than air, in fact. Which is why they fill those HV transformers with it. In fact, you can look up videos of people who have made cooling setups for their computer where the computer is entirely immersed in mineral oil. It sounds crazy, but it works. Even very pure water is a fairly good insulator, which is why you need to add an electrolyte to it.

You shouldn't use salt as an electrolyte. It produces chlorine gas when electrolyzed. Baking soda is a safe and effective alternative.

Amazing how that works. I was waiting for the blood while you were cutting the galvanised sheeting😂

Where is your multimeter? You didn't even test the power output. No voltage. No current. Just light the LED. Which with brightness correction is useless for us. Give us something objective.

Thanks for your comment. I measured the voltage to be 4.5volts. My volt meter doesnt measure such small amperage. Next time I'll have a volt meter that does.
