ABSTRACT:
A system includes a non-animal organism, a first electrical conductor electrically coupled to the non-animal organism, a second electrical conductor coupled to a ground, and an electrical load coupled between the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor to draw electricity from the non-animal organism, the electrical load being configured to operate using electricity drawn from the non-animal organism.
