Energy From Cyborg Bugs

Peter D. -- In this article it talks about this beetle that has computer parts in to produce energy. One beetle is able to generate 45 watts of energy. That is enough to power a small electrical device.

I think this is really cool that they have found another device that we could use to get energy without using something harmful to the environment. I don’t know why they would ever think of this it just seems so random. So how they make the beetles make energy is that scientists put a small computer chip inside the beetle and after that they can control the beetle all they want. When the wings flap they produce energy. Some people think this is a better solution than batteries because it is cheaper and it weighs a lot less. A normal battery will weigh about 1.2 grams but a cyborg beetle only weighs 0.3 grams. It’s pretty dang cool.
