A model fish with a man‐made swim bladder achieves fast vertical motions based on density adjustments in a pressure‐responsive way. When exposed to a magnetic field, a mini‐generator is achieved by harvesting energy from the environment, working with pressure differences in the blood‐pressure range and at the frequency of a beating heart.
