The First No-EEL.

The Mainichi Daily News of Japan reports:


An aquarium filled with exotic fish here is using an electric eel to power lights on a Christmas tree.

Each time the electric eel at the Aqua Toto Gifu aquarium touches a
copper wire in its tank, it sends power that lights up globes decking a
Christmas tree.

    ok…has anyone asked the most obvious question? why not just plug the damn thing in and let the eel go? why does everything have to be complicated???

    The Vancouver Aquarium had a Christmas tree and light display powered by “eelectricty” since the 1970’s.

    So how long does the tree stay lit? just for a few seconds when the eel swims past the copper wires? that sucks.
