Kidney Cells Make Implantable Power Source

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the black-market-batteries dept.

Galactic_grub writes "New Scientist has an interesting round-up of patents related to green power technology. The ideas mentioned include an implantable power source made from stacks of kidney cells that could drive implanted devices like pacemakers, a chemical way to purifying hydrogen, a buckyball-based filter for methane fuel cells and an organism that turns grass cuttings (and other bio-waste) into ethanol."

    ...Didn't Microsoft already patent kidney cells?

    The ideas mentioned include an implantable power source made from stacks of kidney cells that could drive implanted devices like pacemakers Or better yet, just let the fucktards who fucking have heart trouble just fucking die. Their weak genes caused their problems such as eating too much fucking fat or smoking their fucking heads off. If it was a fucking heart defect from birth then they shouldn't have been fucking allowed to reproduce in the fucking first place.

    So just let the fucktards with the fucking weak genes eat god-damned fucking shit and fucking die.
    Another plus of that is there will be no fucking shitdot sheeple to fucking post anymore.

    GO AHEAD FUCKING FLAME AWAY OR WASTE YOUR GODDAMNED MODPOINTS FUCKTARDED SHITDOT SHEEPLE!
    BETTER THAN THAT GO SLIT YOUR FUCKING WRISTS GODDAMNED FUCKTARDED SHITDOT SHEEPLE!

    I find it obscene that the starving people don't grow their own food. If they're so stupid they can't figure that out, saving them isn't really worth the trouble.

    Sam knew.
