Zener diode power generator

Update: reduced total number of diodes, using high value ideal diodes (same as part 2)

What if I told you, Zener diodes are the answer to all our energy crises? Run at 1s/s simulation speed to recharge quickly.

Built-in potential is developed in a P-N junction due to diffusion of carriers across the junction upon joining the layers. Here this diffusion current is capitalized as the power source. Practically, this might require about 10E15 diodes. Plus one if you use an LED

can you explain me this one please.

In a p–n junction, without an external applied voltage, an equilibrium condition is reached in which a potential difference is formed across the junction. This potential difference is called built-in potential . After joining p-type and n-type semiconductors, electrons from the n region near the p–n interface tend to diffuse into the p region. As electrons diffuse, they leave positively charged ions (donors) in the n region.
