They say the human brain runs on 12 watts... (rough equivalent)
I thought that was interesting...
We're not really super computers are we... ??

In the total proportion to total body metabolism - approx 100W - still quite a lot -
energy "wasted" just for thinking
and against energy conservation law - 12W energy irradiated into non materialist worlds of thoughts

if we could cover our head with antenna collecting that radiated energy of the brain maybe we could power at small LED light ( to see at night) or recharge iPhone

I think the SB average is a little lower than that, as with most alternative power sources it's the base load that counts.

The interesting thing is that without our bodies awesome cooling abilities our heads would probably catch on fire. It's our ability to cool our brains that enables us to have such a large and powerful brain. Just wish more people used theirs.

There's a few research articles on this. 10-20W is the measurement.

That's why they call us dim-wits
