12 LED's for 20 seconds is bad. The CO2 released just in production and even transporting them to your house will counter this.
Its a cool thought, but this is counter productive.
For 4 tubes. The interesting thing is that they are 2 mm wide, so feasibility you could add more to bring up generation. That being said, it would take a lot of work to get it to the point where you could get OK energy levels, but only when it's raining.
So infinite energy in the UK then. /s
Maybe enough turn on the kettle once a year, it is a pretty small amount.
I can't claim to know the manufacturing but this sounds just like the "The production of EV batteries is worse for the environment than burning fossil fuels" argument that ignores the fact that batteries are reusable
It is the same argument, but you cant even start to compare it. EV emits less than manufacturing, this wont at its current state.
Lets just look at the transportation.
These will probably be manufatured in Asia. Lets just say its not, and its only 20km from your house. How much energy would it take for you to get these with a car, or how much energy would the truck require to get them to the store.
Even if the car/truck is electric, these tubes would never in 100 years generate enough for the product to move to you.
And this is only if its manufactured nearby.
