How much Electricity our Human Body Produce?

 On average, a human cell produces about 0.07 volts of electrical potential across its membrane. Now, the human body is estimated to contain around 37.2 trillion cells.

Let's multiply these numbers to estimate the total electrical potential generated by all the cells in the human body:

$$0.07 \, \text{volts} \times 37.2 \times 10^{12} \, \text{cells} = 2.604 \times 10^{12} \, \text{volts}$$

This gives a total potential of 2.6 trillion volts if we consider all cells combined. However, keep in mind that this is a theoretical number because cells don’t align their electrical potentials to generate a single large voltage like a battery. Instead, the voltage difference exists across each individual cell membrane and is critical for biological processes such as nerve signaling and muscle contractions.

Would you like to dive deeper into how cells use this voltage for their functions?

-Just theoretically if I could produce 2.6 trillion volts and I can re-direct that energy at my will, tell me an example of what can I energize for example a city?

Theoretically, if you could harness 2.6 trillion volts, the actual energy or power you'd be able to deliver depends not only on the voltage but also on the current (measured in amperes) and the total energy stored or generated (measured in watts or watt-hours). Voltage alone is not enough to determine what can be powered; we also need to know how much current (electric charge flow) is being produced and for how long.

However, for the sake of a theoretical exploration, let’s consider some examples of what such an immense potential could mean:

Voltage vs. Power

• Voltage is the potential difference, while power is the rate at which energy is transferred. Power (in watts) is given by the formula:

  $$\text{Power} (W) = \text{Voltage} (V) \times \text{Current} (I)$$

• To power a city, you'd need high power (wattage), not just high voltage. For instance, if you had 2.6 trillion volts but a very tiny current, you wouldn’t be able to power much. On the other hand, with sufficient current, even lower voltage can provide massive power output.

How Much Power Does a City Need?

• A mid-sized city (around 1 million people) typically consumes about 1,000 megawatts (1 gigawatt) of electricity daily.

Example of Theoretical Power Output

Let’s assume, hypothetically, that with your 2.6 trillion volts, you could generate a useful current of 1 ampere. The power output in this case would be:

$$\text{Power} = 2.6 \times 10^{12} \, \text{volts} \times 1 \, \text{ampere} = 2.6 \times 10^{12} \, \text{watts} = 2,600 gigawatts$$

What Could You Power with 2,600 Gigawatts?

• A large country: 2,600 gigawatts could power a country the size of the United States, which consumes approximately 3,800 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy per year. Your theoretical power could provide enough energy for most of the U.S. in just one hour.
• Multiple cities: With 2,600 gigawatts, you could power approximately 2,600 mid-sized cities (each using 1 gigawatt), or about 130 large cities (each using 20 gigawatts, like New York City).
• Global power grid: The global electricity consumption is around 25,000 terawatt-hours annually. Your theoretical voltage, combined with adequate current, could potentially cover 10% or more of global energy needs for an extended period, depending on energy storage and duration.

Other Examples of What You Could Power:

1. Transportation: You could power thousands of electric vehicles, trains, or planes indefinitely, depending on the current and duration of the energy supply.
2. Space Technology: With 2,600 gigawatts of power, you could theoretically send multiple spacecraft on interstellar missions, or even power an entire space station or colony on the Moon or Mars.
3. Industrial Facilities: Massive factories, steel mills, and energy-intensive industries (such as data centers, aluminum production, etc.) could all run on this power.

Final Thought:

While this is a fun and thought-provoking theoretical exercise, it’s important to note that producing 2.6 trillion volts from human cells isn't physically possible. Human cell voltage is used to power very specific biological functions, and there's no mechanism for aligning them like a battery to generate usable electricity for large-scale purposes.

That said, if somehow you could harness such vast energy, it would revolutionize power generation, potentially providing more energy than entire countries need!
