Energy source is a problem in all body implants. We need to come up with a system that can generate high power without frequent external refueling. This can be achieved by mimicking the body's energy source. Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of sugar molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes. We can try to create electricity from sugar. A prototype sugar fuel cell was built by Sony in 2007. I believe we should keep working on this idea and improve it. In human body electric generators with higher power output would solve many health problems (artificial heart, hearing aid … with build battery).
