Hey its the guy who made that funny zero video

To be fair, engineering might still have a few years of catching up to do. But seriously, you must be the two best sister channels around!

To be fair nature is usually cooler than anything man made

@@townazier yeah. Nature did have a fresh start of a few billion years. But it's amazing to see what's been done tho. When I look at life, it convinces me that biology is best thought of not as a science, but instead the greatest marvel of engineering ever.

Nature got a headstart, pls nerf

I hate that one of my favorite fictional joys are constantly dragged through meme territory.

@@jodo7814 but do you hate it more than sand? It's just so rough, and irritating... and it gets everywhere

@@Hawk7886 You seem too old to troll.

@@jodo7814 your mom doesn't think so

@@Hawk7886 Another manchild on the internet. Kinda feel bad for you honestly.

860W Eel powered gaming PC

Yeah, but it lasts only lasts for milliseconds, still impressive though

That's a power of 860 fricking watts

Tough critters aren't they?

producing television series for the other fish to be thoroughly entertained by

Definitely the best, I love learning real science

How tf do you not have a name

Awesome trip, darn kids

Should have thrown it at them

Just a tip, the Waorani should be capitalized because it's a name!

​@@nico3727The eel?

​@@ellie8272*the machete*

Yep, it’s all gold, and Steph’s a legend.

Learning SO much about animals which I'd found fascinating as a child, but couldn't find much accessible info about at that point (pre-internet!)

I always love the stories of technology being inspired by nature.

Not voltaic

Battery was before volta, not he the first to discover it.

Marvel : Write that down!! write that dowwnnn!!!

Instead of Kamehameha/Hadouken for the pistol shrimp and mantis shrimp, it should've been Detroit Smash

Electricity, platypus, sense not emit

Very informative, thanks

so this is real life Pokémon

Never ceases to amaze me

I think that real aliens would feel similar to sea creatures to us. Sea life come from a completely different environment to us, just like aliens would

@@sapphire4310 I don't believe in aliens but i can see this being the case. The bible leaves room for them but I can definitely understand how strange our world would be to a species like that.

@@sapphire4310 Yes... assuming that any aliens wouldn't just have the same kind of environment we do. Honestly if there is life out there I'm betting they probably wouldn't be as different from life on our planet as we might think. Who knows though... nature is hugely unpredictable.

Well, we _are_ aliens to all life in the universe outside of earth.. And let's be honest it's most likely life out there in some form or another. Just imagine how foreign they would be to us! Its hard to even imagine something truly alien!

that's awesome ! did he brought some pictures back ?

@@scooterelway9191 He sure did & they were pretty cool!

@@patrickblanchette4337 how big were they, on average? At least, according to your professor

@@AifDaimon From what I can remember (it’s been 4-5 years since I took the class) they could very in size from about the size of your hand to the size of your arm.

@@patrickblanchette4337 size of my arm!? SHEESH!!! That's quite huge

Those are a separate but similar group of fish: electric catfish. The history is very interesting, though; you’re correct that they appear in murals, and there’s evidence that the Egyptians used their shocks to treat chronic pain.

No more solar panels for me, I'm going 100% eel.

Actually those are electric catfish. They can produce a large electric shock as well, not quite as big as the electric eels though

@@Nmwhat arent they in the same category or very related to eachother(catfish in general)

@@sheddy22 Not very related, just related. Electric eels belong to the order South American knifefishes. South American knifefishes are not catfishes, but are the next relatives to catfishes. Electric eels and catfishes' common ancestor lived about 140 million years ago, that's about as related as we are to marsupials.

Shocking. Pun unintended?

@@terimaakigaand5857 Would you hold it against me?

You should try listening/watching the 'Fall of Civilisations' channel then.

Boo, booooooo.

I love them

same hahah

But the Ford f150 hybrid pickup. When the power was out idling the pickup and plugged in to my breaker box I powered my hvac system. It creates peace of mind.

Isn’t it actually happening again right now?

eel just have to see... no extra charge

I don't think the strength of the electricity would compound. I am not sure though.

Imagine a Tesla with a fish tank full of eels. Climate change solved.

@@Kiyoone crazy because this is what I actually think the ancient Egyptians used as a power source

​@@KarmaProsperity8egypt is in North África, electric eels come from South America... so.

electric field probably since it will pass through the agar barrier

It might have been purely tactile. Agar isn't solid, it's just congealed fat. So there was water or fat in a continuous surround of both the dead fish and the eel, to carry the vibration of motion. All marine life feels vibrations very actutely.

@@donnalombardo4368 Not to be That Guy because I agree with the overall conclusion you have, but agar isn't fat. It's mostly polysaccharides and pectins derived from certain types of algae, specifically red algae, which is actually very low in fat.

Maybe the respond came back throght the same wire it was sent?!

@@captain_buggles You can be that guy, but that also means the stuff we grew bacteria in, in high school science, wasn't agar, because we made it, on a hot plate, from chicken and gelatin.

They aren't things, all human and non-human animals are someone, we all have a subjective experience in this world. This is why people don't have respect or value the lives of non-human animals, we see them as things...my dog is a someone not a thing, just like the cow or pig in the slaughter house is a someone.(who doesn't want to die)

I would totally like to see that as well, did not know there were only 9 species, I always thought it was much more.

Didja know piranhas are edible? Only for the brave, Chile.

there’s another electric fish but it’s also a pack-hunting fish, the cornish jack!

Arguably every human invention is inspired by nature as that is all we know

Check the description , they credit editor , narrator , produce , and reference their sources :)

As demonstrated, they can fry a good size crocodile.

So incredibly informative! I had absolutely NO idea about electric eels a) not being eels, b) being able to trigger self-discovery in their prey, or most freakily, c) being pack hunters like orca?? 👀

Ur cat is beautiful 😍

No, you would just die.

According to the great scientific Dokumentary "The Amazing Spiderman" this is very likely to happen.

@@maxchilla732 ah, joking. Sorry, I didn’t notice at first.

You'd need to be black and a dork though

There is only one way of finding out.

EVOLUTION designed this?? A basic summary of what that means... In the beginning was nothing but then it somehow became as big as the universe. Then there was dirt and water but then somehow it became alive. Then there was an organism but somehow it had the structure and information to reproduce. Then one decided to be a male and somehow another organism became female and somehow at the same time, with fully functioning structure and information, they reproduced. Then they grew branches, then arms, then fins, then legs, then wings, and breathed water and then air and now we see them all perfectly mutated to flourish in their ecosystems! Seriously... Have you considered how a butterfly came to be? What came first, the egg? caterpillar? chrysalis? butterfly? What mutation could cause a crawling creature to suddenly hang upside down, dissolve its organs and appendages and 2 weeks later emerge as a flying creature? And then find another butterfly to reproduce? Truly a fairy tale! It is glaringly obvious we are part of creation. The world around us is so incredibly complex that design is the obvious, logical and scientific conclusion. Jesus was a real historical figure who claimed to be God. He also confirmed that he created the world and was coming back a second time to reward and judge the world. He proved this by rising from the dead and fulfilling many prophecies. He also foretold what would happen before he would come again. These things have been coming to pass more and more. He loves his creation and has a purpose for everyone of us! But the evil we see in the world is not from God. We have a cruel enemy of everything good and right and you can see the devil's handiwork more and more. Please look into this urgently and with honesty. God is not a policeman in the sky, he is not a genie that grants wishes, he is loving and merciful and rewards those who seek him. Do not decide who God is by looking at religious people, you must decide who God is by reading what he says about himself in the bible. Then you would have judged fairly. Start with John or Luke. These are eyewitness accounts of what Jesus said and did. There are many resources to answer your many questions. Especially on creation and evolution www.creation.com Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near (Isaiah 55) For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:20) To realise that your life is precious, you are loved, and you have a purpose, is real freedom and responsibility. There is an epic heavenly battle for your soul! You're never alone, reach out from wherever you are, Jesus is there, trust Him.

@@BlessingsMate Hello Dear Bless ya.. If you read my comment again, you will notice that I am a creationist who believes in God! I am actually making fun and laughing deeply at evolution, because of the impossibility of evolving such a complex creation as the electric eel… there has to be a God who is a mastermind biochemical electric engineer with top of the shelf software writing skills, with a few PhDs in hardware design.. hope you get my message.. Glory to Jesus Christ, Glory to Him Forever!

Oops! Sorry, I should've taken more notice of the emoji too 🙃👍. Blessings

She normally does great but there's a few bits in this one that makes me think this was rushed out

She probably meant to multiply the current by a factor of 10, as what happens when you connect electrical sources in parallel -- their medium is water of varying distances between the eels and prey and not metal, so it wouldn't go up by a factor of 10, but you get the idea.

@@maltheopia "a factor of 10" does *not* equal the difference between 860 & 8600.

@@PushyPawn Technically no, but most people use 'factor of' to mean 'multiplied by' so, uhhhh... who cares, right?

@@maltheopia Just the uneducated.
