CLIP: The Animatrix - 2nd Renaissance - Human Powered

After the ’machines’ have won, they turn to Humans as an infinite source of renewable energy. As ’science-fiction’ meets ’reality’, doctors are finding and revealing greater properties of ’melanin’ - a chemical found all through-out nature - but also in humans. SCRIPT: The machines, having long studied men’s simple, protein-based bodies... ...dispensed great misery upon the human race. Victorious, the machines now turned to the vanquished. Applying what they had learned about their enemy... ...the machines turned to an alternate and readily available power supply: The bioelectric, thermal and kinetic energies of the human body. A newly-fashioned symbiotic relationship between the two adversaries was born. The machine drawing power from the human body... ...an endlessly multiplying, infinitely renewable energy source. This is the very essence of the Second Renaissance.
