British Engineers Create Robot That Devours Living Organisms

https://sputniknews.com/science/201610311046906188-robot-energy-living-organisms/

The robot has a ‘mouth’ created from a soft polymer membrane. Through this membrane, food – or rather water containing living organisms – is pumped into the robot’s ‘stomach’, which contains a microbic fuel cell filled with bacteria. The bacteria

dissolves living organisms, producing energy for the machine. The robot even has a special vent or canal in the back for waste removal.

Specialists say that only a small amount of energy can be produced this way. However, the developers of the robot say that they were able to successfully decrease the robot’s consumption of energy by using special polymers. They also report that by increasing the number of microbic fuel cells, they managed to upgrade their efficiency.

Since the robot is capable of functioning independently for prolonged periods of time, scientists say the robot can be used in water environments, which for example, are contaminated with radiation or toxic matter.

As a society, we have been deceived into thinking & trusting, that if we have the knowledge & technology to do something... then we should do it. And that it will (only), be used  for good or our benefit.


Yea... sure... lots of evidence of that slaphead
