I have a question fo ya all;
Can we like power up something like a lightbulb with only our bodies energy (maybe with the use of 2 copper cords to transfer the energy, but not use them to generate the energy)??
The reason that I ask this is cos i know that our body generates energy, and i wanna know if we can actually focus it to something physicaly visable such as lighting up a lightbulb...
thanks in advance,
tony

No lightbulbs... at least not yet. However, the human body is being re-examined as a battery thanks to advances enabling the energy from body heat, motion and even blood pressure to be harnessed. A new thermoelectric system created by researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute is at the forefront of these developments - running on a miniscule 200 millivolts the device is able to create an electrical charge from body heat.

i think, by connecting two copper chords to the body, the only energy we can get is heat. (assuming u are not supposed to do mech work.)
correct me if I'm wrong.

Harness energy from blood pressure? What, are they going to start turning prisoners into people like in The Matrix? I can't imagine getting energy that way unless it's torture.

just get the prisoners to run on treadmills for 10 hours a day, the scum deserve it

You can light a 110 volt light bulb with your body as a conductor.
I believe they are using high frequency AC current. It is amazing what you can do with high frequency current.

Senators and congressmen that have committed more crimes and done more damage then some bread thief, or even a purse snatcher. Might deserve that.
When you can say that about Senators and Congressmen, I will take you seriously.
We hide the law maker when we bat the petty thief.
There are men and women being put in jail for not paying parking violations. Sometimes they are not even guilty but the system has no time to check. So the idea that you are innocent till proven guilty is just a joke to the politicians.
We have perpetual motion, but that would remove the power grip of control the senators have on us.
Sincerely,
William McCormick

well its kinda obvious that the human body can conduct electirity well as our bodies are make mainly out of water...
but the question is can we generate the force within outselves without the use of any external materials such as current generator.
Maybe with enough training we can focus our chakra/chi/ki/whateva into one point to light a lightbulb(or maybe something more powerful)?
I mean... I know that our body generates a certain ammout of energy to sustain our bodies but can we focus this energy on something extrernal( or maybe even enchance our energy thru training)???

We apply body heat for external tasks. Warming that frozen outhouse seat for example.
If you want electricity, then thermocouples could get a few millivolts from the armpits, etc. but that's pretty inefficient. |
