Researchers at Yale university have published a study on how to generate electricity like electric eels.
"The scientists began with the question of whether an artificial version of the electrocyte - the energy-generating cells in electric eels - could be designed as a potential power source. "The electric eel is very efficient at generating electricity," said Jian Xu, a postdoctoral associate in Yale's Department of Chemical Engineering. "It can generate more electricity than a lot of electrical devices.""
They have modeled an artificial cell that is capable of generating power, most likely using organic ATP as a power source.
