The latest research shows that scientists implanted electrodes on the body of the cockroach can make it into a "living fuel cell", the hope of eventually insects can carry its own monitoring or information-driven transmitter. It's like when people eat food down into glucose and then into the bloodstream to provide fuel for the brain, Cockroaches and other insects can transfer their food into trehalose (trelahose) of glucose, The researchers used a positive electrode can break trehalose down into simpler sugars, when they insert a negative electrode can release electrons to provide current. Ohio, USA Case Western Reserve University, chemist Daniel Xie Erxun (Daniel Scherson) is the head of research, He said: "when insects eating will produce the chemical reaction, use the chemical reaction as fuel for chemical energy change electronic energy." When the electrodes implanted in insects and show no damage, the insects can crawl normally, Xie Erxun and colleagues based on this method tested on the mushroom, mushrooms can also produce some of trehalose, Test results show that mushrooms can produce a certain voltage. The findings published in the January 3 issue of "American Chemical Society Journal". Xieer Xun said that in this experiment, a cockroach can produce up to 0.2 volts, which is equivalent to one-tenth of AAA battery power. The electricity can send the information to 2 inches away. If an environment, there is no effective power mode, you can use the insects’ body of chemical reactions to provide electricity. Xieer Xun imagine the future one day insects can assembly sensor and radio device, then sent to the area with poison gas. This insect can test the toxicity of the environment and send a message to the people. Although this experiment did not invest, but the U.S. Pentagon Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on this kind of insects are quite interested in the current experiment, they may be assembled in the insect body microphones and miniature cameras. The existing a huge challenge extract the electricity quantity from individual insects, Xie Erxun explained that the insect has a limited blood, so they produce electricity is limited. Embouchure can extract from insects on how much power the body. He plans to test fuel cells number can be derived from cockroaches, and try to depict an insect can produce maximum power. In addition, Xie Erxun the insect also are quite interested about the radio circuit produced by fuel cells in vivo, to detect whether an insect can gather information and spread through their own energy.
