Nearly 350 species of fish have specialized anatomical structures that generate and detect electrical signals. Underwater, where light is scarce, electrical signals offer ways to communicate, navigate, find, and sometimes stun prey. But how do these fish produce electricity? And why? Eleanor Nelsen illuminates the science behind electric fish.
Lesson by Eleanor Nelsen, directed by TOTEM Studio.

It's the amps (the amount of current) to worry about. The voltage only tells half the story, which is the potential. If the resistance is high, it will negate the voltage and thus reduce the amperage. Fortunately for humans, the electric eel only emits 1 amp over a quick instant, so it's not deadly to us.

The eel probably has a layer of cells around its body that can conduct electricity so it acts as a faraday cage for the fish,the electricity passes around the fish instead of through it.
@scarlet8078 4 жыл бұрын
I was taught that the eel's tail contains the potential gradient (anterior of tail = positive, posterior of tail = negative). All the eel's vital organs like its brain are at the front of the eel. When it 'powers up' to send shocks from its tail, it straightens out, and the current travels outward. You will see an eel sometimes bend in a U shape to avoid its head getting in the way of the current. If the current hit its brain, it would die. Electric eels can kill each other. In zoology they taught us that the pics of eels "biting & shocking prey simultaneously" are fake

In the time since this video came out an even more powerful Electric Eel was discovered in the Amazon. Electrophorus voltai is apparently capable of emitting jolts up to 860 volts and 1 ampere in strength! That’s 860 watts of muscle numbing energy!

So if we were to have an electric organ that can generate electricity we would be able to have powers 🤔

Maybe. You'd also need whatever the fish has (which still seems to be a mystery) that protects it from its own shocks!
