There's a galvanic potential between the iron and the copper, the whole primary is a low output battery. The secondary is used as a flyback to boost the voltage up to a voltage high enough to run the LED. Eventually the iron wire will corrode from the chemical reaction and it will stop.
Anyone who wants to really understand the science behind this kind of technology needs to put considerable time into studying relevant material.
I have, and determined it is all nonsense. I was there in the beginning. With bsf and dollard.
I have been wrong before, however - so learning that I am wrong now will come as no surprise!
However, I need your assistance to do that.
If you have a better understanding, and an alternate scientific framework that is more correct (and ideally, more useful/fruitful - which is the goal and purpose of all scientific theory) then I beg you to share it with me and the rest of humanity.
Your patron saint bearden failed to do this for a lifetime. I beg that you do not make his same mistakes, and do not encourage others to either!
If we have the truth (or something closer to it, than is widely available), it is our responsibility to share it! Scientists that make progress in science LIVE for that, and it is vital that you do as well if you are, like me, a lover of science.
I recognize that it will take a long time, and that our views of electricity are wrong on purpose. I am willing, earnest, and able. Can you please share what you know?

Whyever not?
