Gut bacteria’s shocking secret: They produce electricity
When I/electric universe theory/thunderbolts, said "Everything is Electric"...we weren't kidding.
Now, if you really want to get off the Grid...swallow an extension cord and eat! it'll power the lights anyway...laughting
Note, connect your family in parallel to get voltage...

Old like me, do you recall Dinah Shore singing something akin to "See the USA in your (electric) Chevrolet!"
PS, I did hear DS sing see the usa in a chevrolet...but we were of the cult of Ford and wouldn't let our friends drive chevy's!
Next day the transmission went out and I drove to get it fixed in first gear. I was told I had to wait a week to have it fixed. I was due back to work in three days and the Alabama Department Of Corrections is very unforgiving about calling in not sick~and you better not be sick for very long if you are.. So I decided to trade in that troublesome piece of rolling junk. The only thing I enjoyed about that was the disappointment on the previously smug faces of the mechanics. Now they still had to fix it but for resale. Bwahaha!
On the way back my stepson (now a coal miner with two of his own kids) said, "I thought you said you wouldn't buy another Ford."
I told him it was kind of hard not to when stuck at a dealership surrounded by Fords with a car stuck in first gear without a week to spare for getting it fixed.
I'm now a Honda man after buying a year-old used Honda Accord and driving it twelve whole years with it causing me very little trouble.
I've had a few chevy's, the best one was a 1960 6cyl...it liked oil though. The rest were junk. A couple of 240Zs, one race and a honda...wasn't too bad but not a comfy as a big ole Ford.
Later I traded the Mustang in at a Ford dealership for a Mercury Bobcat hatchback I saw featured in a display window. I had that car from around 1976-77 till 1985 when it got too cranky to drive. Then I went back to Fords.
My Ranger has the 2300 with 170hp and my wife's 16 escape has a 320hp turbo 2300---would like to that one in the Ranger...but I really don't need to get a speeding ticket either...Oh Well...it's not fun anymore...
That's when I also saw blue lights come on ahead. After writing me a ticket, a Florida cop accused me of slowing down due to picking him up on a radar detector.
I told him I didn't have one. After he walked off with a smug smirk, piratically calling me a liar,, I swore I'd get a fuzz buster and I did within a month. At least I stopped getting tickets.
I've become a stealth dino. I blend in with fast traffic in the last lane. Sometimes I wait driving on the interstate for someone fast to come along and I follow the speeder for a while. Me dino schools wid da fast fishes.

1/2 an amp is pretty impressive. Any idea as to the voltage - as in how many of these cells do I need to line up to power my [insert appliance here]?
Might be -volts like what you get from the ground or the air...usually -5volts.
You'd have to connect them in parallel.
Many people use water as an analogy as per the following: Voltage is the pressure of the pipe, amperage is the size of the pipe, and the aggregate water flow (in water measured in cubic feet per minute) is the Wattage or power.
Example: Some milling machines use water infused with bits of sand or diamond to cut through metal. The orifice is very small (low amperage) but the pressure (voltage) is extremely high. On the other end may be a flood irrigation system where the water pressure is very low, but the pipe size on the low end is 2 ft in diameter. Both may move about the same amount of total water (power) in the same time period.
As to the reference to electric universe, you sure become electric over a new discovery that some single cell wall gram negative bacteria might transfer electrons in a previous undiscovered way.
That seems to be even a lesser way for making a battery than somehow making a battery form the about 600 volts potential difference between ground and about one kilometer in the atmosphere from atmospheric electricity. Lightning has a lot of power but only short term so not good as a battery also. Stick to chemical or nuclear methods for useful electron transfer in a battery.
