A wonderful idea of japanese scientists is to use the Electrophorus electricus's power to produce e lectric current. The animal is raised in the Aqua Toto Gilu, at Kakamigahara,and served as electric generator to produce electricity. This surprising idea comes from Mr.Kazuhiko Minawa. Electrophorus electricus measures 2.5m of lenght & weighs 4lbs( 20kgs),the quantity of electricity produced could reaches 600 volts!This specie lives in boggy ponds as well as rivers in South America(Amazon,Orinoco) If one gathers all the eels in the world, their to tal power could illuminate a giant Christmas tree.
