Best diet ever. I wonder how many people would abuse this and crank everything up to 11 just to burn calories.
Assuming just for a second that they could do it relatively safely, why shouldn't they?
Way to go to match the efficiency of the human body.
Slightly off-topic, but i find impressive that with the same 2,500 calories needed to power daily my moderately used smartphone, my body can walk, go up the stairs, lift heavy objects, do math, laugh and think. Way to go to match the efficiency of the human body.
A typical smartphone battery (Xiaomi Mi4i) is specified at 3.12Ah @ 4.4V. Multiplying, we get an energy content of about 50 kilojoules, which is about 1/200th of the a typical daily human energy requirement (10MJ).

What's impressive isn't the efficiency of the body's use of energy (electric motors are already pretty good) , but rather how efficiently it extracts and stores it.
If smartphones had our stomachs, we wouldn't need to charge them..just let throw a hamburger in there once a month.

I'm surprised they don't mention methane. Given that a natural byproduct of e.coli is methane as it reduces organic waste in your intestine, a fuel cell which could transfer oxygen from the blood and methane from the bowel would potentially generate milliwatt or two. As I recall there was some work on a methane recapture facility for grazing animals as a way of powering remote monitoring as well. Easy to joke about t…
Messing with the gut is really dangerous, your probably far better off just harvesting some sugars from the blood stream than trying to use methane.
