Hello, Matrix.

 

[happyballz]

Thats is now the matrix going to harvest us for batteries!

But on a serious note, it's pretty cool for pacemakers and etc.

What has science done?

Science isn't a 'thing that can autonomously do things'. It is a system, one that people use to logically test ideas and allow us to efficiently learn using hard data...

What have scientists done? Made a bio-battery that will help people with pace-makers and artificial hearts, and evil borg-like cybernetic organisms, hell-bent on galactic domination...

the oracle has you!

 

[house70]

that's awesome.

With an inductive coupling near the skin surface you could Power your iPhone and lose weight at the same time!

I want my cybernetic arms (that can lift a car) and cybernetic legs (that run 100mph) and one eye (telescopic, microwave and FLIR vision)!!!! I'm Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man (60 mil adjusted for inflation).

Dude, that sucker was Nuclear-powered (BTTF reference and 6M$ reference, all in one! Geek Joy!)

In seriousness, I don't see how a machine using electric pull from chemical energy can be any more efficient at things like mechanical energy advantage than the real thing... Not unless it was simplified to do fewer tasks, without or with limited self repair abilities...

The Matrix idea about humans as batteries is very stupid. Such battery would be highly inefficient. While the battery from the article above is a great invention. Well, I still hope that our cyborg future will be bright!

One accidental short-circuit and it will cause a hypoglycemic shock, potentially killing you.

 

[hammer256]

was that last bit on security team a reference to the book Machine Man?

 

[nikkidpartypooper]

It's good in one way, but we'll see how it goes in the future.

A way for scientists to invent stuff: make a movie about it (or a video game).

 

[CPU666d1]

Ah! To be sure! Lifes little treasures is to see this piece of S**t.

It was a reference to Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The main character is a member of Sarif Industries security team who "has an accident" and is given bio mechanical implants by the company.

I knew we'd have a hamster powered car someday.

i cant be the only one thinking a few extra in OC and you got a human tazer

Well only time tells! That's when we'll see if it lasts the test of time.
