DARPA To Turn Humans Into Batteries
DARPA is working on a project that will convert energy from the human body to power a variety of military gadgets. From the article: "Obviously, our bodies generate heat — thermal energy. They also produce vibrations when we move — kinetic energy. Both forms of energy can be converted into electricity. Anantha Chandrakasan, an MIT electrical engineering professor, who is working on the problem with a former student named Yogesh Ramadass, says the challenge is to harvest adequate amounts of power from the body and then efficiently direct it to the device that needs it." If I remember the movie correctly, this didn't turn out so well for the humans.
if they target heat energy from human bodies, i can think of 3 or more realistically 10 ex girlfriends who wont have anything to worry about!
Yeah. The Matrix is pure Fantasy fiction not science fiction. No way could that world exist in our reality
They lost me in the The Animatrix when the Humans decided to "win" the war by blacking out the sun. Apparently the humans of the future don't need to eat.....
For that matter, why didn't the machines just build a bunch of nuclear reactors?
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
My Free TV streams 19 Mbps == 6000 GB/month per channel. No cellphone can do that. WHY kill off this excellent service??
