Electrocyte Appendix (2009)
video + drawing
The Electrocyte Appendix is an artificial organ that could be implanted into the body to allow people to become electric organisms. The organ is constructed of artificial cells that mimic the electrocyte mechanism by converting blood sugar into electricity. By replacing the vestigial elements of the body, i.e. these that lost their importance throughout the evolution (e.g. appendix), the new organs may readjust the body in order to sustain its new way of living.
