| Hi All
I read some of the topic about electric eels and just started thinking
about how can electric eels generate so much electricity, I know it has
got 200,000 cells that stores this energy generated. But the big
question mark in my mind is how does it do that....?
Can someone help me out of this?
Can someone please provide me some links that I can trust to gather
information from......
Cheers
Pankaj.

Hello,
these eels do not store the electricity, they generate the electricity
when needed with special cells derived from muscle cells.

| hi,
absolutely uwe. your answer seem like how our heart pumping by electric
derived by muscle cells also.

| Hi
Who said that to you, it cannot be true as I read on quite a lot of
websites that it takes around an hour to charge up to the max voltage
that it can dicharge, so what does that mean.........

| Pankaj,
I think, and could be wrong, but it is the chemicals that they need to
regenerate.

| Hi,
Just to recorrect my explaination. Did you know that the specing center
in our
heart is called sinoatrial mode which is situated on the right atrium
near the
entry of vena cava?
This part generate an electrical impulse (action potantial) at the
normal rate
of 70 to 75bpm at rest. Thus, heart has it own generation of electrical
signal unlike
skelenton muscle. So, what do you think? need advise if my statement is
wrong.
My first ambition to be a doctor but I turn to be an engineer because I
think this
fields coverred man, human and equipment.

| No, it is still true, but what you read means is that the cellular
structure in the eel takes time for the electro-chemical reaction to
build up a charge, but all of the cells are like capacitors, storing
that charge for one massive simultaneous discharge, After that, the
cells must individually "recharge" electrochemically.
