SciShow: 5 Ways to Use Your Body as a Charger

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: Devices that collect data about our bodies need power, but they also might need to be very small or even ingestible. To avoid including batteries in these cases, researchers are looking for ways to harvest energy from the body itself. Hosted by: Michael Aranda SciShow is on TikTok!
