Forget batteries, hand over the frosted flakes!



Seriously though, this could make many things much more feasable, such as run times being longer, and quick power upsvia snacks that the human can carry with.


Um.... isn't that the basic premise of the MATRIX.....

Golly gee willikers! I want to know what the byproduct is when you remove electrons from sugar. Does the thing put out alcohol, maybe? Or some other substance which can be used for a useful purpose, like fertilizer, or plastics?

Maybe a combination powersource and still....

So the sugar powers the robot, and the byproduct fuels your car?
