How Do Electric Eels Generate Electricity?

How do electric eels generate their shocking power? ⚡ These fascinating fish (which aren’t actually eels!) can produce up to 600 volts of electricity, but how do they do it? And can they actually charge your phone? (Spoiler: Not really, but let’s have fun with the idea.)
In this video, we’ll dive into the science behind electric eels, how they use their built-in stun guns for hunting and self-defense, and whether we can harness their electricity for practical use. If you’ve ever wondered how nature created one of its most electrifying creatures, this is the video for you!
