Abstract: The present invention is directed to a starch-based battery system. The starch-based battery system uses a rheological and replaceable starch gluten electrolyte that generates colloidal starch gel adhesive contacted with and/or attached on electrodes to generate current for powering electronic devices. The starch-based battery system that includes control circuit and standard cap module replaces a conventional dry cell battery or is integrated with electronic devices to power, for example, flash-light, lighting ornaments or magnetic actuated motion products and toys. In other embodiments of the invention, the starch-based battery system is integrated into a device for attracting aquatic life forms in an aquatic environment, wherein the starch-based battery powers a light source and/or sound source and also the starch gluten electrolyte acts as bait for attracting aquatic life forms within the aquatic environment.

Abstract: A device for simulating and/or attracting aquatic life forms is disclosed. The device includes an electromagnetic module with a dry battery that is activated when exposed electrodes of the dry battery are placed in contact with a common electrolyte, such as sea water. The dry battery generates gas bubbles and sound in an aquatic environment, which attracts the aquatic life forms. In further embodiments of the invention, the device includes one or more removable jackets with holes or vents that facilities a controllable release of the gas bubbles generated by the dry battery.
