Options for biological high-density energy storage within the human body
What this means is that they have a biological battery, storing energy for the long term (weeks), which they can convert at will into some dynamic form. That can be combustion heat, electrical energy, or something else - which my organ (this is the only handwavy part) will turn into magical energy, and magic.
ATP production from electricity with a new-to-nature electrobiological
However, to directly power biological systems with electricity, electrical energy needs to be converted into ATP, the universal energy currency of life. Using synthetic biology, we designed a minimal "electrobiological module," the AAA cycle, that allows direct regeneration of ATP from electricity. The AAA cycle is a multi-step cascade
