Could a human brain be plugged into a house and actually generate enough electricity to power it, in say a 4 people household, without having to actually pay for electricity?
Interesting. Would solve the energy crisis.

Short answer... nope!
LOL That's not what your article says!
"In short, human batteries are coming — it’s just a matter of time and research."
Did you read it longer than just the begining? Unless I misunderstood something, in which case I apologise lol. But from what I'm reading here, and in there he talks of "the future" as it implies like, 2 centuries, but considering the growth of advancement, I rather think it's a matter of a few years.
Also, posit this; not just the human brain generates electricy, but human activity as well. Every time you pick up an object, or rub something, or rub; you also generate static electricity and your brain output increases, as it's said, up to 2000 watts, even the excessive heat is just energy released under a different form. Well suppose you run, or exercise, or do chores at home during the evening, say 4 or 5 pm up until midnight...there MUST be a way to harness that excess energy, which pretty much goes nowhere, if not to directly charge a batter, to power an amplifier that CAN. Or something.
I mean, I'm no scientist, but sounds like an interesting research area...no? ;-)
Clean, renewable, plentiful...image a 4 person household. Self-sustaining, wouldn't that be awesome? That would kill the power companies, it'd be a laugh at least lol.
