I do.

Basically it is a trick. The battery is not putting out DC, but three different frequencies due to the crystal oscillators. The switches each act as a filter to cut off a frequency. The LEDs are tuned to resonate (light up) at a certain frequency, so depending on the switches' positions, different frequencies reach the LEDs and only the LED that is tuned for a certain frequency will light up. Any other frequencies will not cause it to light up, unless the resonant frequency is also coming in (since you can superimpose frequencies).

This is mostly a demonstration of the cool things you can do with resonance.
