Biorobot beetles install electric generators

In recent years, the DARPA Pentagon Research Program Administration and other companies have conducted experiments on the development of miniature aircraft that resemble insects and birds in appearance and structure. The most important task is the development of an electrical power system. Scientists went to the experiment and now began implanting electric batteries directly into a live insect, setting it on the edges of the wings, turning them into ultra-small power plants.

So, researchers from the University of Michigan have created a device that, when implanted into a beetle during the operation of the wings, allows you to create 45 microwatts of energy in one day. It is assumed that the beetle will be constantly in motion.

This, of course, is not enough for the full operation of all electronic circuits, but there is still an idea to turn this beetle into "Robot", completely taking control of the actions of the insect, its behavior and daily routine. This amount of energy will already be enough to activate all the equipment that this monster will be equipped with at full power. This will make it possible to make small portable generators in the future, for example, to recharge a mobile phone.

nature would not tolerate such a surprise to such inventors.

But he doesn’t need to eat, I'm not talking about the rest. Something is doubtful. that there are bugs that do not rest.
