Red, please post a link to that study so we all may review the data and see it ourselves.
To me some of the kinesis are very real. Just not as "powerful" as most think. If people can manipulate energy; and practice at it enough why couldn't they manipulate energy enough in electricity and cause some kind of shock? Or do some other kind of minor kinesis? But ths guy on TV? I don't belive in that part, as it could have easily been a trick. That's what I think anyways.
article is written with scientific terms, I hope you will understand
"A new, very unusual "electric" behavior of the bacteria Shewanella oneidensis told biologists from the University of Southern California (USC) ( http://www.usc.edu/) . The opening immediately come up with practical application.
S. oneidensis are very fond of metal particles, swim up to them, sit on them again, "run away", actively move near the object, sit down again. All of this was first discovered only recently.
In fact, the phenomenon elektrokineza (electrokinesis) ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrokinesis#Electrokinesis ) in these organisms, scientists have observed as early as 2007. The first data were obtained by Howard Harris (Howard Harris). However, when biologists thought that bacteria just stick to the metal surface. Now it became known that the behavior of more complex organisms.
It began with the fact that Nielson asked Harris to study the movement of bacteria and capture them on video. Was held near the slow motion of micro-organisms of manganese dioxide particles, as well as computer analysis of the data.
"Every time the approach to these metal particles, bacteria begin to move actively," - says Nielson in a university news release. ( http://news.usc.edu/#!/article/29239/New-Bacterial-Behavior-Discovered )
A little later, Harris found that the bacteria exhibit a similar behavior near the electrode and the battery. At the same time as the electrode stopped working, active diving stop.
It turns out that the activity was electrical in nature (chemical "feeling" has been deleted). Apparently, the microorganisms in contact with the metal was collected via a chemical reaction energy, then a few minutes, and actively moving again sat down to "recharge."
As often happens, a new discovery has generated more questions than answers. Why spend the energy to the bacteria is to swim around? As microorganisms are metal objects, and how to come back to them? Whether they feel them with an electric field or determine their availability on the behavior of relatives?
The group believes Nielson, S. oneidensis swim away from the particles of MnO2 for the simple reason that they accumulate close to too many of their fellow competitors. Microorganisms have to swim out from the crowd to gather materials necessary for the further saturation of their organism. Absorbing dissolved compounds in the environment, they once again sit on the particles and obtain energy by forcing the collected material to give the metal electrons.
ScienceNews compares the behavior of the bacteria from deep-sea diver's actions, which at times rises to the surface to collect the air. ( http://www.sciencenews.org/index.php/generic/id/50507/title/Bacteria_seen_swimming_the_electron_shuffle )
To find out, as S. oneidensis are the particles, the Americans are planning a new series of experiments. All of these data, according to Kenneth, indirectly will contribute to improving the impact of bacterial fuel cells.
Today's discovery will help to optimize the bacteria, "set up" that much more difficult than to improve the operation of the device, the authors conclude in their paper in PNAS. ( http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/12/10/0907468107.abstract )

Vanity's_fire and lunarunes are just explaining facts here.Ok you have concrete evidences on that matter but everybody knows that a human body is an enormous conductor of electricity and what people doing in those acts are facts of the ability of the human body to conduct electricity.Since our body generates electricity,But i'ts really hard to prove people shooting massive amount of electricity without any source.
For those who believe that electrokinesis is true.You may upload a video here of yourself doing such things.And then i will believe you.
Goodluck.

ok ok so im not asking anyone to leave but can more 'supportive' people join because now im apperantly not allowed to say my opinion... so yeah can Helpful people join?
The link you provided, Explore, talks about shooting electricity and ki out from the hands at your "opponent". That is clearly impossible, and fantasy. No person can harness electricity, turn it into a ball, and "shoot" it out of their hands.
Now, as someone who is in college and pursuing a scientific degree (Chemistry and Biology), I would like to point out some things concerning the articles that were provided by Red.
This article is talking about the addition of MnO2 and other oxides to cells. The term "electrokinesis", when discussing cells, refers to electrohydrodynamics, or the dynamics experiences through electrically charged fluids. It describes nothing more than the movements of electronically ionized particles. Even so, these all fall under specific electrical laws, physics laws, chemistry boundaries, so on.
So here are some articles that you can read which define what this is, scientifically, and clear up the misconception of the word:
The bacteria name you provided, Shewanella oneidensis, comes from the class of bacteria known as DMRB: Dissimilatory Metal Reducing Bacteria. The only role it plays in electricity is dealing with its cellular respiration: It uses electron acceptors (such as nitrates, metals, sulfates) to oxidize organic carbon. Nothing to do with electrokinesis.
I could go on but this is a magick site, not a scientific community. Point is: in science, electrokinesis refers to something entirely different from what the people here on this site are discussing.
