I understand this question was asked before and it seems stupid but I'm wondering if done another way if it would at all be possible because i don't quite understand the physics of electricity. I understand that a single electric eel can generate something like 500 volts at 1 ampere and farming said animals in anyway to generate would just not be practical. However say a project were started to genetically modify the species to slightly increase the efficiency of the electrocytes slightly and then you did away with the animal itself and essentially just farmed the electricity generating cells in a bio-reactor where they were simply kept in constant contact with the nutrients they require and stimulated in sequence with acetylcohlite (sp) to keep a constant current. Would this be in any pay practical? Or are the cells simply not powerful enough to make the energy produced to the space used practical?
