Electric eel powers Christmas tree
Posted on Dec 4, 07 08:55 PM PDT
Fancy that - a Christmas tree that is powered by an electric eel?! Where else can you find such zanyness but in Japan, where the Aqua Toto Gift Aquarium has sparked worldwide interest with its E-tree, whereby the "E" prefix stands for Electric Eel. This is really taking renewable energy to new heights. I wonder what will we have next - electric eel-powered boats? What about a baby electric eel-powered waterproof cellphone? Anyways, the copper wire in the eel's tank is what conducts electricity from the eel to the tree every time the sea creature brushes itself against the wire, zapping all those hanging baubles and ornaments to life.
