You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall the most famous Christmas Tree lighting eel of them all?????? That’s right I said Christmas Tree Lighting eel. This one’s no joke ladies and germs. Straight out of Japan comes Inventor Kazuhiko Minawa and his tree lighting eel. Guaranteed to survive even the most devastating of all Godzilla induced blackouts, Minawa just may have discovered a use for Mother Natures electric generator.
By attaching two aluminum panels to the inside of his eel tank and connecting cables that run to his nearby tree, Minawa was able to power the lights on the his tree for the world to see. And that’s exactly what’s happening. Everyday the inventor wakes up to a huge crowd just dyeing to see his eel in action. Normally a source of food, the eels which contain several necessary vitamins, swim back and forth all day producing electricity as they move about.
“If we could gather all electric eels from all around the world, we would be able to light up an unimaginably giant Christmas tree” exclaimed Minawa. Imagine a future where we come home, toss our keys on the counter, and feed our eels so they will have enough energy to power our television long enough for us to watch the night’s big game.
Now I know this sounds a little far fetched, but with all seriousness how much energy could be produced by say a whole tank of electric eels? Zoos could supply their own energy, Fortune 500 companies could power entire skyscrapers with a lobby full of eel tanks. Maybe cars could even be fitted with mini fish tanks! All I know is that as long as people keep coming up with new alternative energy ideas, someday we might be able curb our dependence on oil.
