I assume it would be possible to detect the position of an RFID chip...
-
Awesome @McSTUFF , exactly the kind of advice I was looking to get!
-
Thnx, have continued researching: I wasn't looking for/expecting any formal certs or test of products just any personal experiences :) Some of the commercial devices out there looked like crap, others looked great but were expensive and one happily claimed to get up to 80v output which just seems like overkill... most of…

@katzevonstich Doh, mia culpa... I'll look more carefully next time. thnx

3d printing costs are actually pretty low $30/kilo plastic filament or $30/10 Kilos for the pellets if you make/recycle your own filament.

Duckweed would be another good plant to start with, simple and grows fast. It's also tiny and basically clone propagates itself.
-
@Gamerein I cant get anything on that link...
-
I got home from work and saw a note for myself to post some links for basic microbiology equipment... kinda redundant and my 15 year ago rusty lab skills are way outclassed by you guys. Soooo happy I found this forum :)
-
@McSTUFF, @Meanderpaul, Thanks for feedback. Absolutely good point about the age thing, even importing magnets here into Oz (Australia) can be tricky because we've had several incidents with children swallowing small powerful magnets. That was part of my reason for thinking 12 as a minimum age. I'm going to try glueing to…

Guys in terms of attaching things to the skin etc... I was thinking that it might be possible to improve the public perception/understanding of the next generation by doing some school kits. A pack of small 3x1mm n52 magnets and some nail glue and students (about 12 yrs old?) get one attached to their fingernail and then…

So three links that people might find interesting along these lines: Using TDCS to accelerate learning specific skills:https://futuristech.info/posts/video-researchers-show-brain-stimulation-could-enable-accelerated-learning Proof that images *might* be something we can read directly from the brain and record for playback…

Would we still need the bag if the STM was not a mixture of silica and oil but rather a mixture of biosafe particles and extracellular fluid? if the particles stimulated the generation of the fluid by the body (like a very mild version of the effect of polypropylene)? I'm thinking implants like this could useful not just…
-
Bacteria changes would be germ line (inherited by offspring), my thought was just that you could try 100 different samples in a day and 100 more the next... even gecko don't breed that fast :)
-
@JohnDoe, nup not self healing alloys... just extending the discussion on non-newtonian fluids... basically adding my 2 cents that looking for a bio compatible "armour gel" (shear-thickening fluid) would be a good place to start. Here is a link to video about polish researchers who have one they say is better than kevlar…

@chironex your heartbeat is not so faint you can't hear it, if you sit quietly you can hear it but even a minor distraction and it vanishes until you can "find" it again. But you're right it's the not paying attention that I meant, anything regular enough to serve as a fine grained indicator of time would be something…
-
If you try to modify an animal you are bound to have to work through it's breeding cycle for every test, and to see if the trait is inherited you have to wait for it's full maturation cycle. Might another approach be to modify the natural flora (bacteria) of the animal? Simpler organisms, faster to reproduce, easier to…

@kazikhopper wouldn't a regular beet get edited out by your perception? same way we cant hear our own heart beat?
-
@chironex : Love the transdermal, effective interfaces through the skin is going to be critical for the future of prosthetics and implants. @aviin : I'd be interested to find out how hot one of those things gets... I've encountered a lot of USB memory devices that generate a lot of heat when in use. For that matter... Is…

Girl genius - it's steampunk themed but there are a lot of transhuman/biohacker/cyborg/implant themes: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160518#.V2SFV-d9418 But humour is an interesting question, my wife is post op transexual, (which means that she is basically just like every other woman her age on hrt).…

Awesome sauce(ery) !
-
@Benbeezy understand, limited fund unlimited ideas... thnx.
-
Or pixies... you get less probing from pixies.
-
@Benbeezy any updates on your implant? Also I may have missed it in the thread but does the implant work as a mic?
-
Would fibrin glue solve the problem?
-
At the risk of being causing more laughter :) I would be interested in getting a retractable implant. A scalpel or small flat multi tool that came out from under the nail bed of the middle finger on my dominant hand would be quite useful. I guess technically you could use it as a slashing weapon if you really felt the…
-
Of course if people thought they would be around for a hundred more years they might start taking the problems of climate change and pollution a whole lot more seriously... I tend to think we're actually closer to super extended life than most suspect. Humans age and our organs decrease in size (about 10% every decade) but…
-
Love the steampunk aesthetic...
-
@Benbeezy Thats a great idea, but it wouldn't have to be internal... (remember a lot of current goes through it no matter how good a conductor it is it will heat up (a lot) and if that happened inside it might cause all kinds of mess. A conductive trace on the surface of the skin (down the back and out to each limb) would…
-
I'm a long time lurker only started posting recently but I'd think that sheer-thickening materials would at least be worth examination, specifically materials based on fibroin, it's biocompatible and there is already a lot of research around building materials with it. It might not be suitable for stopping bullets…
-
@ThomasEgi Theres a couple of light activated resin based 3d printers on the market. They'd be perfect for this kind of material especially as they tend to focus on very small ver high detail prints. I think one on kickstarter was like $100 and used a mobile phone as the light source (possibly not suitable for UV activated…
