Not to be nasty, but WHY?!
They work, and to attempt to study specs is going to require more expertise in
the modern equivalent of biotech. We simply (as I understand it) don't have
that kind of expertise.
If you just want to have some explanation for your players - make something
up!! If it seems plausible now, it should be even more so then. Shadowrun is
not a science. It is a creative exercise in imagination, and imagination is
not going to supply your "specs."
If you really want off-the-wall ideas, try EM induction, or a system which
harnesses the body's waste heat to power it, or temperature gradients, . . .
