Hm. Not so sure about

"human blood or sweat can be used to help power the battery..."

I can see certain bosses leaning forward avidly when they read that bit...

What about tears?

If blood and sweat will work could be other salty bodily fluids would too. "Piss on it" could take on whole new connotations... :)

That is amazing...but I was a little sad to find that all the people listed as having worked on the project seem to have been from India or the middle east, excepting one whose name suggested a more far-eastern origin.
