Powering bionics

Okay, so, I'm here to further talk about what Matt just said.  We also are thinking about different ways to power bionics.  Here are our ideas:






We didn't include anything like batteries (rechargeable or regular) or fuel cells because if you are not near a power source to recharge it or more batteries/fuel cells, then the device could run out of power.  And if that device is a pacemaker or artificial heart or lung or such, then you would be in trouble.

Click on any of those to go to a webpage talking about how the system could work.

This is a post from Alpha Rex.

The wires on the NXT are like telephone jacks, with one difference: the snap-connector on top is to the side to prevent kids from plugging their NXTs into the telephone service.

Briiiiiiiinnnnnnnng!  Briiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnng.
