Yeah. Esso is Exxon.

“The discovery of hidden species diversity on such an eye-catching (more than 2.5 meters/8 feet long) and long-known (described 250 years ago) organism... indicates that an enormous amount of species are waiting to be discovered in the Amazon rainforest,”
The researchers examined 107 electric eels taken from waters across northern South America, measuring different parts of their body and analyzing their DNA.
The analysis also revealed that E. voltai could produce shocks up to 860 volts, higher than has been measured for electric eels or any other organism before. The third rail powering New York City’s subway system carries 625 volts, while electric chairs used for executions produce over 2,000 volts.

With a nice fat electric eel in your tank, you can drive your Tesla forever! Some assembly and wiring required.
“With a nice fat electric eel in your tank, you can drive your Tesla forever”
Sorry. Amps needed.
Esso. Drop a tiger in your tank.
I remember it.
Even after being removed these electric organs will give out shocks.
Yeah. Esso is Exxon.
It’s not the volts, it’s the amps that kill you. How many amps does an eel generate?

Amps?
and in other news: it is endangered and the Chinese consider it a delicacy. LOL
Esso, Enco, Humble, Exxon, Exxon Mobile.
Around Central PA it was known as Humble, briefly.
EELnado.. On SyFy soon.
A secret gubamint program to interbreed eels and use the offspring as weapons..
Just when you thought it was safe to go back near the water after Sharknado..
what happens when you breed an electric eel with a shark?
Tuna in for the sharking fin of an ending.
The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a fish, why not do it with some style?
30 amps or so.
Sorry. Amps needed.
Might need a few of them in parallel, also they are producing electric even while you are sleeping!
OK, so it is not up to supercharger numbers.
Maybe with better food? Better output?
And this guy is much bigger, might be a full kW!
And if it doesn’t work out; eel pie.
Or maybe jellied eels?
An electric eel has multiple cells along its body that create a change in potential of over 500 volts. The typical current produced in an electric eel attack is around 1 amp.

depends on how much resistance you give to the eels advances ....bada dum
“Sorry. Amps needed.”
And it has to last more than a few milliseconds.
The 30 amps I said before was for an electric ray.
I read an eel puts out one amp.
The electric organs are very similar and I’m not sure why the discrepancy.
“How many amps does an eel generate?”
And how do they do it...that’s what my intellectual curiosity wants to know.
Nice find, I remember them well, but as Enco in Chicago suburbs.
What I’d like to know is whether possession (in lieu of a taser) constitutes a criminal offense in NYC.

See #12 link for smaller eel.
One amp at 500v.
