The electric eel is the biggest power-making creature on Earth. It can release up to 860 volts, which is enough to run a machine. In a recent study, a research group from Nagoya University in Japan found electric eels can release enough electricity to genetically modify small fish larvae. They published their findings in PeerJ - Life and Environment.
The researchers’ findings add to what we know about electroporation, a gene delivery technique. Electroporation uses an electric field to create temporary pores in the cell membrane. This lets molecules, like DNA or proteins, enter the target cell.
“860 volts, which is enough to run a machine” is such a stupid non fact. “a machine” is such a broad category that it’s meaningless and voltage alone doesn’t give you enough information to make any sort of comparison.
It’s easily enough to run an inclined plane.
