Biological Reactor through Genetic modification?

+0
−0

As all of you know, humans eat for energy. While being able to maintain homeostasis is great, it's also human to want more. Maybe we want stronger muscles, or the ability to breath fire, or even to use some form of magic (once we've figured out how to use the energy in a meaningful way). We'd probably need more energy than we can currently metabolize from food. So, assuming:

  • We can edit human biology with ease and,
  • We've already figure out a way to use the energy

What is a plausible way that a biological reactor (using fusion, or some other fuel source) can exist in (highly modified) humans? What would it look like? What assumptions must be made (about the editing process) to make that a reality?

Of course, if I've made any impossible/wrong assumptions, please correct me.
