Electric Eel Battery at Charlott Leff blog

Electric Eel Battery. Researchers have developed soft, stretchable ‘jelly batteries’ that could be used for wearable devices or soft robotics, or even implanted in the brain to deliver drugs or treat conditions such as epilepsy. Inspired by the electric shock capabilities of electric eels, scientists have developed a soft, stretchable jelly battery ideal for wearable devices or soft robotics, according to a new. When matter with an electric charge is near other charged particles, it will either be ‘repulsed’ or ‘attracted’ to the matter based on the charge. Researchers took a cue from the electric eel to create a soft, foldable battery that could one day power devices like pacemakers This “voltaic pile” was the world’s first synthetic battery, but volta based its design on something far older—the body of the electric eel. Soft, stretchy ‘jelly batteries’ inspired by electric eels. An electric charge can be positive or negative. Scientists now know the electrochemical reactions between dissimilar materials that volta discovered have nothing to do with the way an electric eel generates its electricity.
