Electric eels that are hard on others and even harder on themselves, dare to electrocute themselves into baked fish at the drop of a hat

In the 18th century, electricity was gradually tamed by humans, who learned to store and release it.

But at first, people were curious about electricity and wanted to know what it felt like when it passed through the body, that is, people wanted to try the taste of electric shock.

At that time there were researchers, holding hands, forming a circle, and then touching the positive and negative poles, all together experiencing what it was like to get an electric shock. At that time, this process of finding guilt and pain was enough for those who experienced it to blow their whole lives.

Because at that time not everyone had this opportunity to experience the feeling of such big trouble electrocution.

Researchers at the time were experiencing the sensation of electric shock when there was a fish that could discharge from thousands of miles away. This is the electric eel known as the high-voltage line in the water.

Technically speaking, electric eels are not eels. They are fish that live in fresh water and are close relatives of catfish. When an electric eel is attacked, it releases 300-800 volts of voltage.

This voltage is enough to kill many animals. On one occasion, a field worker captured this scene on film. In a place in South America, a crocodile suddenly attacked an electric eel of 1 meter in length.

For the crocodile standing at the top of the food chain, even tigers, lions, and other animals may become its food, let alone an insignificant fish.

However, when the crocodile attacked the fish, it began to regret it. At the moment the crocodile bit the electric eel, the eel triggered the body's protection mechanism and released high-voltage electricity.

A crocodile that hadn't had time to enjoy its meal immediately let go of its bloody mouth after being shocked. Do you think the crocodile has a loose mouth, it is an electric eel to get even? Too naive. Electric eels are constantly discharging electricity through the water as a conductor, constantly sending electric currents to the crocodile's body, which eventually leads to the crocodile's death.

Also, electric eels are extremely dangerous. The National Geographic magazine has called the electric eel one of the most fearsome freshwater animals on earth. It can be seen that under its unattractive appearance, there is a huge killing machine hidden.

The electric eel, as a special species, has evolved special talents in the process of evolution. It is simply a descending blow when living with other creatures.

It has almost no natural enemies in nature, and if there are, they are humans. Then after a long period of research, humans began to slowly use electricity, where does the electric eel's electricity come from?

This is due to the special body structure of the electric eel. The muscles on both sides of the electric eel's body consist of 6,000-10,000 regularly arranged muscle sheets, which are interconnected and directly connected to the central escalating system.

These muscle sheets are like a small battery, each with a voltage of about 0.15 volts. The voltage of a single cell is so small that it does not pose any threat, but several thousand of these cells connected in series produce a very strong voltage in the GENERATE.

And because these batteries of the electric eel are connected to the central nervous system, when releasing electrical energy, it will adjust to the surrounding conditions and release the required amount of electrical energy, because the stored electrical energy is a means for it to evade external enemies and prey.

Unless necessary, the electric eel will not discharge all of its body's electricity at once. It takes about 10-15 seconds for it to finish discharging at once. After the electricity is discharged, it does not need a charger, it just needs to rest for a while and will be full again.

Many people are curious about why the electric eel can hurt other creatures during the discharge process, but unharmed.

This is related to the special body structure of the electric eel. Electric eels have better insulating skin. When discharging electricity, because the resistance of the water is lower than the resistance of the body, so the electricity will be conducted in the direction of low resistance, so that it will not electrocute itself, but will hurt other creatures.

But when the electric eel leaves the water and gets to the ground, this situation changes dramatically. Because the resistance of the air is greater than the resistance of the electric eel's body when the electric eel is discharged at this time, the electricity released cannot be conducted in the air, so it will be conducted along the body of the electric eel.

So this time the electric eel is not only cruel to others but also cruel to itself. When the released electricity passes through the electrical resistance of the electric eel's body, it releases a tremendous amount of heat energy, turning the electric eel into a grilled fish.

Electric eels, of course, can not cook themselves, but leaving the water in the air discharge will also cause harm to the electric eel, and completely hurt the enemy 500 self-loss approach.

Conclusion:

The electric eel is the most fearful creature on earth, fear of "water high voltage electricity". It is also the first creature on earth skilled in the use of electricity, 1-2 billion years earlier than humans.

So far, humans have understood the reason for the electric eel discharge, but the deeper principle remains to be studied. I hope that one day, mankind completely understand the secrets of the electric eel.

When the time comes, clean and efficient "bioelectricity" can be like raising cattle, building a large farm, connecting to the wire, eat food, but the release of electricity is needed for humans.
