Hello all, just popped my head in to read everything. I will replicate this soon as this is really simple and I already have the parts... Sometime before monday. I don't have red leds, just every other color imaginable.. ahah where did I leave my reds... Maybe I'll try color change ones with a crystal 
Anyway, this is my imagination on whats going on... I have not seen anyone say this before but I think that there might be a semiconductor junction beyond that of a simple diode in the capacitor for it to show an AC waveform. This is all based on what other people have shown so I do not know myself yet.
regardless, what about the possibility that in the right capacitor there not only is a capacitive element, an inductive element (double scroll construction) as well as a semiconductor element (phantom diode or phantom transistor)? Also, a used or conditioned capacitor might have corrosion on the plates that lead to inadvertent semiconductors.
So basically in one part we have everything needed to make an oscillator. Hm.
@IBpointless2 - please let that double battery captret run for a long time, like a week or a month.
There is a possibility that the capacitor is making the battery warm up which increases its voltage, but I would only imagine that could happen when current is being used, as it is now the captret is a voltage only junction which seems to halt current, at least up to the sensitivity of our meters.
I like the idea of resonant crystal and coil, I think this must be explored further. I have a collection of fresh resonators at harmonic numbers of each other, if someone can imagine a smart way to hook them up I will try it.
About Miki's post, where she thinks that the capacitor is somehow receiving ambient RF. Would the area of that tiny capacitor be large enough to capture enough ambient RF to power a LED? You would have to be very close to a transmission source, or use a near field antenna idea, but even then I don't think it could happen that way.
To be honest it looks like Miki joined here just to dispute the captret effect, and on several peoples videos there are extensive debunkings by people who have no videos... If we were outright wrong in doing something, sometimes people let them go ahead and be wrong, but if we are onto something right, then maybe paid people will come along and try to throw knowledge around and discredit what is happening???? I don't know.
It does seem to be a vary small amount of voltage gain, but that's why we need to have a very long test done. Its analogous to ground power research, where you need to have a log book of weeks to totally understand something, instead of just hours.

I'll try to keep it running for a while. It started on 11-11-10 in the evening at a standing voltage of 17.17 volts. Now its at 17.21 volts and it wants to be at 17.22 volts.
Tried this again with a different battery, a 12 19 amp hour battery. the standing voltage was 12.44 volts and now its 12.45 volts.
I think i need different capacitors to get better charging.
.Others may have experimented in this area in the past but your method is so easily replicated with off the shelf parts,anyone can try it and see for themselves that there is something going on which is not the norm.
