Sperm Could Power Nanobots - Posted By XeroCint (kai) on 3rd Jan 08 at 1:12pm
"According to MSNBC, scientists are experimenting with using a sperm's flagellum to overcome the problem of supplying energy to nanobots that could be implanted in the body as smart probes that would release disease-fighting drugs, monitor enzymes and perform other medical roles within a patient's body. Powered by a compound called adenosine triphosphate or ATP, a sperm's flagellum can propel it at about 7 inches an hour. Energy from ATP could also power the pumps charged with dispensing the medication at a certain rate from the nanobots."

Someone in the comment pointed out: would they survive?

Also, some of the comments might not be that appropriate. Funny as hell, but a bit risque {Tongue Out}

I think its quite a weird solution. It may be weird suppling it all too.

at least we would have some where to put it all o.o

There are Sperm Banks, but I think you can't take other peoples so it would be down to a few people to supply it.

I feel very awkward talking about this now.

I feel awkward having it open for discussion as it has deviated... and deviation on this subject even a small amount is bad! {Tongue Out}
