The diode voltage drop is 0.7 volts, so you need that much to turn it on. Current is controlled by a resistor in series.
You get a violent explosion as the diode vaporizes.
to limit the voltage or regulate the same.
There must be a break in the power supply elsewhere in the circuit. I suggest a blown fuse The only diode that generates electricity is a solar cell
An inductor will supply better current source.
A: it requires a source of power only if it has to perform any usage

any diode if connected to where the anode is tie to a negative potential will block that voltage. Up to the limit of the breakdown potential of the diode whereby avalanche current will destroy the diode unless current limited
2x the peak supply voltage!

A zener diode passes drect current, and the point of a zener diode is that the voltage across it stays nearly constant over a range of different currents, so it can provide a supply of stabilised voltage.

IN in IN4001 refers to the type of diode. The IN is a designation used by some manufacturers to indicate that it is an axial lead diode. The IN4001 is a commonly used diode in electronics, often used for rectifying AC signals in power supply circuits.
It should be marked, either on the diode or on the box it came in. If you can't find the mark, then you have to measure it yourself. Take the zener diode, a battery or DC power supply, and a resistor. Wire them all in series, with the NEG (cathode) end of the diode closer to the POSitive side of the battery or power supply. Connect your voltmeter across the diode, and slowlyincrease the power supply output voltage while watching the meter. You'll see the voltage across the diode increase slowly, tracking the power supply, until you reach the Zener voltage. At that point, the voltage across the diode won't increase any more; it'll just stay there at its 'reverse breakdown' voltage, which is the Zener voltage. (If the voltage across the diode goes to around a volt and won't go any higher, the polarity is wrong. Reverse either the diode or else the power supply.) You probably want a wild guess at what the value of the resistor should be. That's difficult to specify if I don't know the power rating of the Zener diode you're testing. I'm going to make the following suggestion completely in the blind: Select the resistor to limit the series current to 30 mA even if you have to crank the power supply up to 50 volts. R = 50/.03 = 1.5 to 2 K-ohms, rated for a couple of watts.
