It has come to light that the idea of Matrix It can be feasible. That is, in the future it could be possible to take energy from the human body. A whole generation of adults saw the film Matrix In the cinema in 1999.
The MatrixThe term of Engineering born from the film of the Sisters WachowskiIt is a machine that uses people as batteries to extract enough energy to feed robots. Years ago a concept of these characteristics seemed unthinkable.
With artificial intelligence that is progressing rapidly, however, that seemed unthinkable now it became a bit more tangible and close. But would it really be possible? A YouTuber He has devoted a time to study the viability of a project with these characteristics. Has come to a conclusion: they have not lied to us Matrix.
Matrix was right: it is possible to take energy from human bodies
Through your channel from YouTube “In principle homeless”, El YouTuber and inventor Nick Zetta He presented the design of a special suit that benefits from the warmth created by the human body to generate electricity. The effect is simple: the side of the suit that connects with the skin is heated when the person is active because his body produces heat.
In the meantime, the other side is exposed to the cold air of the environment and remains fresh. This temperature parallellism can be used to generate electricity. To do this, the use of a thermo -electric generator, a device with Two conductive materials.
One is on the hot side and the other on the cold side. With this provision they cause a potential difference (that is, electrical voltage) to take advantage of the effect Suck. The electrons move from the hot to cold zone and form a current current (electricity). A process that inevitably reminds us of the first biobatsteria that produces energy with the oxygen of the body.
The human body can generate energy, but there is a problem
But there is a problem. The human body does not create too much warmth or does it in a specific area. To solve it, many thermo -electric generators were used to achieve a considerable amount of energy.
During the tests, Nick He registered electricity peaks that went down after a short time due to the temperature difference on the outside. To prevent this inconvenience, he designed a way to work out “heat tips”. These are large temperature differences in short deadlines with which he could acquire more electricity.
The body is heated during exercise, but also when alcohol drinks or spicy food is taken. If the user does one of the two things, the outside air is cold, the temperature difference is considerable.
Is Matrix? Yes, but not how you thought
The invention of YouTuber He failed to produce enough energy to load a mobile phone, but it generated small amounts of electricity that were sufficient to mobilize a small robot on a table. It’s not the idea of Matrix That fans were in mind, but a concept up close.
One of the most interesting content that can be found on the internet is that in which inventors devote months to developing apparently impossible engineering projects, just to take on a challenge. Nicholas Zetta He followed his instinct and brought a real milestone to the world: Matrix There is.
This invention shows that the makers of MatrixThe film from the 90s was not so wrong to expose that changing body heat in electricity is possible. It can be an mirroring of what we will see in the future: energy that comes from human bodies. But man is not the only living creature that is able to offer energy. These microbes of the soil produce energy without breathing.
