Could science ever harness the power of the electric eel? This thing produces 650V of electricity. I for one envision a world where I plug my MacBookpro into an eel to charge it.

I don't know who the hell you think you are, Mr. Harvey. But I think we could change the world with these algorithms.

Sir, you need to find the short circuit current of your eel and how long it can sustain it.

Science already has:

>An electric eel shock lasts about 3ms, and it can shock apparently 150 times per hour without getting tired (http://www.enotes.com/science-fa...) - the shock is at a voltage of about 500 V, with a current of 1 A (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ele...). Assuming a well-fed and properly-agitated eel can shock 150 times per hour 24/7, that means each eel is putting out 225 Joules per hour, or on average 62.5 mW.
Cultivating electrocytes and storing them in a nutrient rich life support solution could give you a few watts of continuous energy.

> 650 volts
that's a totally useless measurement of energy
No,there's always morals in the way.

Eel hard keep at home. Better plug your MacBookPro into GMO-dog to charge it.

No, they waste energy growing and moving and are hence inefficient

>62.5 mW
So you need about 1000 electric eels to power a single desktop computer?

Farming animals isn't judged to be immoral by any society that's got passed the hunter-gatherer stage.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I already have a patent on this it works well , however if you use it I'll sue you for infringement sorry
650 Volts..
But how many amperes?
If it ends up being in microamperes it ain't worth shit
