The problem they ran into, however, was that these little aircraft needed something to power their wings, and the weight of a power source was prohibitive. Did they give up? No. Instead, they gave real beetles mind control implants that allowed them to be  remotely controlled . The problem they ran into there was that the mind control implants needed to be powered and batteries were still problematic. Of course, the next logical step researchers in Michigan took was to fit the beetles with piezoelectronics on their wings so that they  power their own mind control implants through flight  . Yes. This is a thing that is happening. If you aren’t familiar, piezoelectronics allow pressure to be converted into electricity. Remember  those light-up shoes? The same technology could also be used to create laptops that charge by typing , or mind controlled beetles that perpetuate their enslavement with every flap of their  wings, for example. If all this didn’t sound sci-fi enough as it is, there is one more twist. At the moment, the researchers are affixing piezoelectric mechanisms to the beetles wings, which is providing a decent amount of energy. Where they think the future really is, however, is building the mechanisms directly into the beetle’s wings, which could increase the power output by an order  of magnitude. Also, it would mean there are crazy cyborg beetles out there. It’s a toss up on how you should feel about that second part. The potential applications for such beetles are myriad. When you inevitably connect a camera to one of these babies, you have one of the most efficient, tiniest, most maneuverable aircraft you could ever ask for. These cyborg beetles could be incredibly useful for search and rescue CASUALLY PEPPER SPRAY EVERYTHING COP SPRAYS EVERYTHING  At an Occupy protest, Lt. John Pike was seen nonchalantly walking by a group of protestors, casually pepper spraying them. The Internet took notice, and now Lt. John Pike is pepper spraying everything. We felt Pike was at his best when he was pepper spraying famous works of art. Watch him deface art. Casually.
