That must be why they're called electric Eels

Genuinely how did they evolve to have this characteristic

the power on prime video is a great show about women developing electric powers that mimic electric eels

Completely overpowered

Sooo… their muscles allow them to turn their bodies into batteries?

What environment would make this a biological advantage

Can we use them to generate electricity

its actually so fucking crazy that electric eels exist. they literally have a superpower, imagine the genetic selection that must have happened for this adaptation to have developed so much

Marcelo.00 :
so you’re saying if we continuously crack people with higher electrons in their muscles we could eventually gain the ability to hold the power of zues

"Small difference between inside and outside of the cell" and it's 150 mV lmao. That is HUGE for a resting membrane potential. The difference between a resting human neuron (~-70 mV) and one initiating an action potential (~-40mV) is only about 30 mV. And even that is fairly large for membrane potential deltas when firing.

There’s a bunch of those in my hovercraft.

RenegadeSosa :
could we hypothetically genetically modify and engineer these cells onto human hands?

eel schematic is exactly what I needed to see td

Imagine if we just genetically modified these eels into biological batteries

how on earth does this even evolve

and we STILL don't know where they come from or how they reproduce?

Chaotic Weevil :
how are they insulated? why don't they shock themselves? how do they have preferential current paths between their electrocytes?

Grow the cells in a lab. Solve the energy crisis. 👌

How does it not shock itself?
