According to the BBC, a team of scientists from the University of Michigan was able to develop miniaturized energy sources, but that can placed on large
insects. The scientists were able to create a miniature pezogenerator, weighing about 0.2 grams, with a capacity of 45 mikrovat, which running through the
motion of the wings of insects, and also developed a miniature solar panels and micro-thermoelectric converter. It is reported, that the total power of all energy
sources will be sufficient to provide power of miniature videorecoder and microphones, that can be installed on these insects. Thus, scientists have come close
to creating of cyborg-beetles, which can be used in a military intelligence, as well as scouts in the event of radiation accidents, since it is known. that insects
survive of radiation doses in 1,000 times greater, than humans.
