The video tutorial explains how charge differences are established to create electric current flow along a virus. Researchers enhanced this by adding negatively charged amino acids, increasing the charge difference and electricity generated. Sheets of engineered virus are used to construct a generator that produces current and potential when pressed. This technology could potentially power small devices like LCD screens and may be used in the future to charge phones or power pacemakers using body movements.
