Brain Energy

    Everything that exists is constantly moving. From your physical movements day by day, to the very atoms you consist of. Thoughts themselves are moving. The energy (which is a form of movement) your body uses to generate thoughts is a physical movement. This often brings up the question of just how strong is our brain? our thoughts? Could we somehow find a way to harness that energy and utilize it?

   
    The brain pumps out about 100 watts of constant energy, which translates to about 20% of your metabolic consumption. In other words, the brain gives off the same amount of energy as a common light bulb (ironic haha). If humanity found a way to either increase this amount of energy or funnel it into a power source... what would we make of it? Imagine this... If you take the common attendance of a baseball game, lets say 23,000 people, and each individual harnesses 100 watts of energy... you would have 2,300,000 watts generated, making 2.3 megawatts. Basic multiplication here lol. BUT. Imagine that much energy at one moment. 2.3 megawatts is how much energy is generated by one of these:

   If humanity found a way to somehow systematically fuse all the brain energy of a town or a city's population... We may be able to power our homes, cars, electronics, etc with nothing but our natural brain waves. The answer to our energy crisis may have been residing in our heads all along. Literally. I am one to believe that we have only merely grazed the surface of our human potential. What more secrets are there to discover?
