seriously, we all produce it...let's use it more-can we..?

...thanks for the clarification ....I would think we could take it a tad further than just a watch though...hmmm-cell phone batteries are pretty pricey these days...

Heat is energy-he's not talking about kinetic energy. He's talking about a watch powered by our process of synapse..The arc of energy from one neuron (nerve endings) to another, causing feeling or movement in the human body.. It is very possible to make a watch that would work that way I think..As long as it didn't interfere with our neurotransmitters.

I figure, why bother? They already make self-winding watches (which is a bit of a misnomer, since they don't actually wind themselves, but they are wound by the normal daily movement of your arm... unless you're comatose, in which case they don't get wound at all) The tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny amount of electrical current produced by the human body (don't let the Matrix fool you; you put out heat by the ton but not a whole lot of electricity) is so miniscule that you'd spend years perfecting a technology you don't need.

They already do. It's called a kinetic watch.

nah. we'll go straight to the matrix scenario - using stupid people as cheap source of power for the intellectual elite.
