Bio-electricity

[Taem]

I don't want to sound like a prick, but the things you described is not as simple as it seems.

Oh, I knew that when I made my initial post. We don't have the technology yet to do any of the things I proposed. This is merely a thought along the lines of theory-based inquisition. I was watching some shows such as Nova, The Universe, and Mythbusters and hypothesizing on our bodies "potential" and "latent" energy, and the theory that energy cannot be destroyed. Based on what we know of energy, with what our bodies are capable of - using Pete's own website, a small amount of food is capable of providing us with internal body heat, higher brain functions, blood flow, t-cells, a mild electrical current, etc. - all in our "resting state", and our muscles allow us to perform much more physical labor in a working state. The energy our bodies get from a small amount of food using our metabolic process is huge! My thought process was that the energy is there - it cannot be destroyed, so there has to be a way to convert it to a usable energy. I was merely positing possible ways to harness this energy - with technology still out of reach - without the use of a living host (i.e. animal or human).

In regards to the metabolism heating/cooling... I don't think reptiles use their metabolisms this way, so I think your incorrect. Sickness and disease would be a concern if such technology came to be, but I'd imagine the process wouldn't be much different than how they inject antibiotics into livestock now once every couple months to keep them from getting sick. Anyways, just a passing thought with huge possibilities, but way, way out of reach still.
