However, the body itself generates mere millivolts. Had we been able to produce equally power-efficient machines we could run diggers and lorries on relatively small batteries, without the use of internal combustion engines or similar machines.

Just as I thought. You're not aware of what you're speaking of.

EM, old bean, the curriculum for Indiana University's bachelor in telecommunications major is there for all to see: and it's a humanities degree...
Contrast this to GT's EE course listing, which is where I got my bachelors and masters degree in EE, and my bachelors in physics (which was pretty much just some summer courses difference from the EE, and one more semester): ...and these are science courses, not humanities.
It's been fun. See you next thread.

Anything can store static charges, so there's nothing odd going on there, although conductors like a metal ball, your dog or the human body can discharge them faster than a non-conductor, like a styrofoam ball. Conductors do store all their charge on the surface whereas a non-conductor can distribute the charge internally, that's probably the largest difference.
The body generates nothing more than millivolts, since that potential is a byproduct. But it's not the source of energy in the human body. That would be your metabolism, by which you break down chemical substances to produce ATP. ATP is where the power comes from in your body. The chemical energy in the food you eat makes ATP, some cells do this by fermentation alone (RBCs) but most use glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation and the Krebs cycle, which is a lot more efficient.

You keep showing that graph... but if you really look at extended periods of time... there is an obvious trend of more/larger earthquakes. Lets look at real numbers and not this graph you keep posting to prove the SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER... TAKE A FREASH LOOK!~
Perfect example... from the site you know and love... earthquake.usgs.gov...
We will go with the largest of all (8-9.9) to keep it simple... and we will only use dates from 1980-2009. Looking at them in 10 year blocks:
1980-1989 : 4
1990-1999 : 6
2000-2009 : 13
No calculator needed... HUGE QUAKES... only in the last 30 years. Am I the only one that sees a trend?

Odd??? Who said anything about anything being odd??? Just fact. That's all. I don't at all think its odd that our brains use electricity in order to operate...do you? I don't think its odd that the brain is not only a transmitter, but receiver of information. I certainly hope this isn't new information or fringe science on your behalf, otherwise I would really be worried.
And everything that you said on the last half of your post is almost completely irrelevant to our initial conversation. You don't have to explain the digestive process to me, I'm pretty astute in that department. I was referring to synaptic charges.

I log on to ATS this morning, and three headlines catch my eyes:
"Magnitude 7.2 - Baja, California, Mexico"
"Earthquake or some strange ground movement in Las Vegas"
"HAARP Active @ 7.406Mhz Shortwave"
Seems like there's a connection, seen from my conspiratory eyes. Might just be me, though.

Funnily enough, a pair of loudspeakers creating an interference pattern (one of the reasons music volume changes as you walk around a concert) is a very good visualisation for for scalar/longditudinal wave inferiometry from two or more coils. Sound is a longditudinal wave using the very air molecules as a medium, where as scalar waves use hyperspace.
