Sparking Intrest Podcast

Are you a battery? The Matrix Lied to you AGAIN | Ep 09
In this episode, Kaden peels back the sci-fi veneer of The Matrix and asks if we humans could really function as batteries—spoiler: the math isn’t exactly on Morpheus’s side. From the nitty-gritty of how much heat we generate (about enough to power a light bulb) to real-world tech like thermoelectric wearables and the use of human heat in subway stations, Kaden dives into why “body-heat power” can’t replace larger-scale energy sources—at least not yet. Along the way, there’s humor, pop-culture references, and a bit of AI banter that makes you question whether the robots might want us around for other reasons after all. If you’ve ever dreamed of charging your phone with your armpit or wondered how human energy stacks up in the real world, this episode has the answers (and plenty of laughs).
