Electrical Power From Humans

Plugging gadgets into a socket in the wall, or loading them with batteries – or maybe even unfurling a solar panel – is how most of us think of getting electricity. But what about plugging them into your body?

It may sound far fetched, but under the shadow of the Alps, Dr Serge Cosnier and his team at the Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble have built a device to do just that. Their gadget, called a biofuel cell, uses glucose and oxygen at concentrations found in the body to generate electricity.

They are the first group in the world to demonstrate their device working while implanted in a living animal. If all goes to plan, within a decade or two, biofuel cells may be used to power a range of medical implants, from sensors and drug delivery devices to entire artificial organs. All you’ll need to do to power them up is eat a candy bar, or drink a coke.

Biofuel cells could kick-start a revolution in artificial organs and prosthetics that would transform tens of thousands of lives every year.

  1. isn’t this very similar to RFID chip, mark of the beast?

    We are turning into mindless robots, mindless SHEEP. Most of us have lost their minds, their brains, most of us are not even HUMAN any more. I live in a bizarre world

  2. this micro-scale application is BS. it needs to be large scale!

    retrofitting the existing sewage treatment plants to collect and burn methane to generate electricity is what I’m talking about. our bodies only use 15% of calories (heat!) we intake, and we run at about the equivalent of 100-125 watts. if the WASTE flushed down the toilet were harnessed it means theres over 600 watts per person available. a household of 4 could be near self sufficient.

    the “go-green” carbon tax scammers HATE this idea.

  3. LOL – It’s just ridiculous. You know, it’s wonderful that we make advances in science and technology. Unfortunately, becuz man is a sinner, control freaks really WOULD want to create the Matrix out of such “advances”. Well, how bout transfiguration?? You see, as we the saints transfigure in the Spirit of Jesus, we gain all power of dominion over the flesh, this world, and the devil. We cannot become sick, die, or age. (I’ve been studying that for 40 years. Bet my LOGOS is more powerful than their science… and words of human reason.)

  4. oh the irony…its the the candy bar and the coke that help make your organs fail in the first place.

    another great implant for big bro thats candy coated to make you think they want to help us.

    wherever they implant these … tumors start appearing ,guaranteed
