In the United States is prepared to manufacture the world's first cyborg insects

American scientists were able to get electricity, using as a starting material of female cockroaches. The results of research conducted at the University of Western Reserve Keith, offer new opportunities to mankind in the introduction of artificial substances into living.

During the experiments, biologists have studied the chemical processes inherent in the female individuals of cockroaches, and by making cuts in their abdominal cavities, there is a miniature set biobatareyki. Operations on the fuel cell implantation were carried out with extreme caution to avoid damaging the bodies of insects, since the energy is produced only under the condition that the cockroach remains alive. Roach is not felt absolutely no discomfort, because of its circulatory system is not under constant pressure, as, for example, in mammals.

Capacity installed in the cockroach biobatareyki is only 55 mikroVTsek/sm2 at a voltage of 0.2 volts. This is sufficient to chemical energy of insects began to turn into electricity, which can hide in tiny sensors and microchips used at work, microphones, and various sensor devices.

At the heart of the new technology is the use of two specific enzymes, which are applied to the electrodes, connected to the cockroaches. One of these substances breaks down sugar to cockroaches digestible sugars, which leads to the formation of electrons and with the help of other converts oxygen into water. Thus, scientists are able to easily penetrate into the circulatory system of cockroaches at a time when insects consume food, and to control the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy.

Implantable biobatareyka does not require movement or the presence of sunlight to generate electricity is only necessary for the animal to consume food. Invented the technology has already passed the official test at the moment, scientists are preparing to turn the whole program in the cockroach polurobota. The kit will include cockroach-cyborg she biobatareyka, the transmitter control systems, sensor-gas analyzer and a miniature battery.

Scientists also hope that their discovery will feed through the energy of living creatures medical devices and artificial organs, but the main emphasis is still placed on the robotic insects. To turn a cockroach into a cyborg to implant electrodes in his body, acting on specific neurons. If successful, the experiment, the researchers will realize the dream of science fiction into reality and the appearance of intelligence personnel miniature kibershpionov.
