What if machine ran off biological fuel — blood kale — from our body ? Could we essentially power gadgets on America ’s increasing supply of body fat and Snickers bar ?
The questions were thrown at me by our dear Brian Lam with a disclaimer of “ I may have been under soporiferous substances when I come up with this idea . ” But , despite that disclaimer , he ’s onto something . After all , we ’ve look atconcept models of gadgetsintended to be powered in that accurate personal manner , by converting blood glucose into electric current . There ’s alsobeen some success in late bio - shelling researchwith barm fuel cellular phone . So , why are n’t we fill both convenience lecherousness and hunger in the same bite yet ?

It turns out that the bio - batteries close to world at this sentence , the barm cell unity , have a major problem with wastefulness intersection . That waste is created as those finical electric battery imply microbic barm - based fuel cells that slip “ some of the electrons produced when the barm metabolizes glucose ” so as to make a small current . While the entire process works just fine , the barm cells are at risk unless the waste products are removed . We ca n’t exactly let the wastefulness be dumped into the pedigree watercourse , so until there ’s a some variety of cleaning outgrowth , the battery are problem as they either they die off or envenom your blood stream while stress to survive .
That trouble aside though , the inquiry is quite encouraging and a huge first step . It may be many years until we can use bio - batteries , but I ’ll wait patiently with some Häagen - Dazs until the solar day thatfat bottomed girlsreally make the rockin ’ man go ’ around . [ New Scientist ]
