Not just Snickers and Baby Ruths, but special candy bars!Patrick_and_the_ricks said:So jerking off with my robotic hand would require candy bars?
OT: That is freaking awesome! I want one now!

Does anyone else find it a strange set of coincidences that their latest UELA makes it impossible to take legal action against Sony, and now they're interested in turning human beings into batteries? I'm just saying... uh-oh.Hevva said:
Anyone remember this old jingle; A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play! That candy company saw the future alright.
Would it need actual sugar though? American candy uses that corn substitute in most of its candy and fizzy drinks.
How did we go from protein based candy bars in DE:HR to the Soylent Green-esque candy in the original DE?

Well, cept the fact that there was no RoboCop statue in Detroit haha. I just know they're going to end up building one.DRes82 said:
I'm interested in the applications of this, but I'll wait to see them before I get all excited. Remember the cancer-preventing chemical being researched at the University of Alberta? Thought not, cause it hasn't worked out that well. Or the cold virus-based cancer killing program? Still working on that. Science moves in small steps, so I prefer to wait to see the results before I'm excited, rather then the theory.
I wonder if I'll wake up tomorrow and we'll have invented wormhole or FTL drives. We have lightning that sings, quantum levitation, commercial space travel, antimatter held for 16 minutes, quark-gluon plasma, lightning that sings (look up the zeusaphone), computers in our pockets (Tablets), wireless controllers, body tracking cameras that can translate movement into game controlling and also have computer voice control from star trek(kinect), and portable 3d gaming platforms (3DS). And the last two are considered mere gimmicks rather than incredible innovations. Also we have infra red lasers than can indeed burn through shit. And intelligent robots. Yep, this is definitely someone's future vision in its infancy.
When working out, you'll roughly generate around 120 Watts of energy through physical activity that could be used. Not exactly enough to power NYC for more then a fraction of a second.samsonguy920 said:
If you want to tap into the chemical energy of your body - well if you cremate yourself and used your whole bodymass to power a generator you would get considerably more... but I wouldn't suggest trying that.
The problem with energy generated by the body is simply that said body generates that energy for a specific reason and if you tap into that to use the energy for something else - you'll most likely feel sideeffects.
Btw - you would NOT lose weight by charging a battery like that. You'ld feel weak, hungry and get a headache from not having enough sugar in your blood.
lol. sounds like games are no longer fiction. well, at least with a SIFI story.
so in future we can expect that our mars, twix, snickers etc will recharge our batteries? sounds alright to me. as long they keep it healthy and it tastes alright of course.

you'd burn the fat, but you'd still be unhealthyXanadu84 said:
same deal as the drinks that make you loose 200 calories or more
they work, but you'll never be healthy doing it.
this is more of a 'technological parasite'
than anything else
it just steals your oxygen.
I look forward to eating a pack of glucose tablets every time I need to rearrange the furniture.
