Vampire Battery

Source: Ottawa Citizen.
Researchers at the University of B.C. have developed a “vampire battery” — a fuel cell that can generate power from a drop of human blood plasma.
The device, known as a microbial fuel cell, has not yet been tested in the human body or in animal trials. But tests conducted with human blood plasma show the concept is sound.

Omg! "Cyborgs" that feed on human blood! Probably in near future... We'd have Vampy bots warfare! *Scary*
...Then we'd need to engage Buffy! Awwwww isn't Sarah Michelle hot?
