The electric eels are a genus, Electrophorus, of neotropical freshwater fish from South America in the family Gymnotidae. They are known for their ability to stun their prey by generating electricity, delivering shocks at up to 860 volts.
Discover the shocking power of an eel that can unleash over 600 volts. See how these air breathers survive in the waters of the Amazon basin.
One team of researchers has drawn upon the electric eel to create a powerful, flexible battery that may one day be able to power pacemakers and other implantable electric devices. This is known as biomimicry – where the natural world inspires solutions to human challenges.
1 ημέρα πριν · Eels are capable of lifting themselves out of the water to shock a target. In a 2017 article in Current Biology, a researcher willingly made himself the target of such a shocking leap.. The larger the eel, the greater its potential for producing stronger shocks, so the experiment occurred in a laboratory setting with a smaller eel (about 15 inches long).
There's a reason you won't find electric eels at your local petting zoo. These fierce creatures can release over 800 volts of electricity. Today we will investigate precisely how these...
11 Οκτ 2024 · Electric eel, any of three species of elongated South American knifefishes that produce powerful electric shocks to stun prey. Electric eels have three electric organs—the main organ, Hunter’s organ, and Sach’s organ—which are made up of modified muscle cells.
The animal world’s strongest bioelectricity generator, these fish use electrical fields for hunting and defense, not just communication and navigation.
