I had an idea some time back about the possibility of isolating Electrocytes[1] into a human biocompatible form, or creating some human alternative that operates on the same principle. I have no idea how plausible the idea is though, and is probably at least 2 or 3 major biological breakthroughs away. Their major benefit, if my understanding is correct, is that you can scale them quite extensively, in a similar fashion to building muscle tissues, to gain more power. This would be invaluable for prosthetic limbs or high-power internal devices like an artificial heart.
