If... : a mind-bending new way of looking at things

Smith, David J. (David Julian), 1944-


"Author David J. Smith has found clever devices to scale down everything from time lines (the history of Earth compressed into one year), to quantities (all the wealth in the world divided into one hundred coins), to size differences (the planets shown as different types of balls).

Generating Electricity Within the Body


From the Curio.ca streaming audio-visual collection. One challenge for medical devices that are implanted within the body - such as pacemakers, drug pumps or neural stimulators - is power. Generally, they're powered by batteries, but when the power runs out, the batteries have to be replaced, requiring further invasive surgery. Professor John Rogers, from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has developed a device that can generate electricity from the movement of organs within the body. His device uses a piezo-electric material that produces electricity when bent. When attached to a beating heart, it produces enough electricity to run a pacemaker or other device, while apparently having no impact on the heart's function.
