That “did I miss something here?” really instills an image of you standing at a workbench with a live electric eel, various electronics parts, and an IKEA instruction booklet in hand trying to get this thing to charge your phone.
I’m getting “If you’re not sure, call IKEA’s help center and one of our friendly associates will help you to set up your new furniture in no time!” picture vibes
If it created a lot of energy it would need to much food. The beauty of electric defense is that very little energy deposited has an outsized effect, by attacking your electronics directly potentially even killing.
The water also reduces the electrical resistivity of skin so less power is needed to be harmful (at least for humans, some fish and reptiles are a different story)
Butt which end is positive vs negative?
I need to know so I can recharge my battery…
Head positive, tail negative (seriously)
It’s pulsed though, not sure how well it would charge a battery
You just need capacitors.

Well, we can’t just release them without a full battery. That would be rather cruel.

conventional current positive or electron flow positive?

Oh wait that’s already a word. Hang on is that why eels are slippery?
