Listen to/feel lightning
I recently watch moon ribas seismic implant LINK and was thinking about what else this concept could apply to.
Then I remeber back to when i was messing with tesla coil to this weird little build that would let you listen to lightning strikes miles away. LINK
I feel like this could be done easily enough as a wearable to start. Build one of the detectors, connect it to your computer and rather than having it produce sound, send the signal through bluetooth or something similair to the wearable and make it vibrate. You could even build 3 detectors and put them in a big triangle. Then have 3 vibrating motors in the wearable. May let you triangluate where the signal came from. plus 10 points if the thing adjusted for your rotation relative to the detector.
thoughts?

I think the most useful would definitely be a whistler but I also think the chorus would be awesome to simply have. For my area we don't really see aurora down here but it would be great to know if we might.
I could see it as bracelet I'm not sure how large that would actually have to be to function. Maybe having it link up to a phone to save size?

Scroll down to IMU.
I was looking at this for a separate project using BLE

With just those it's barely at $100 depend on the IMU and the rest of the parts.
I think a simple led for power would really be all that's needed and some piezos should cover both size and vibration. Next we got your batteries ;)
EDIT: after looking at them I think this would be the best after reading some reviews/specs but I could be wrong. This is also just me using sparkfun I'm sure other places would have some other choices.

For vibrating
Maybe integrating a coil into the wearable could utilise implanted magnets as well for the grinders - I don't know how big/powerful such a coil would have to be, so forgive me if that would be implausible.
As I type that I realize I do....I use it in my truck for music I could stiff in it up maybe to make it easier.
I am going to be mixing this receiver with a thought I had been working on for the last couple days. I'm currently working on a beach where white sharks have been seen in the surrounding area and been tagged. I want to test out if I can make a small scale hydrophone that can transmit a ping to this receiver and have it be picked up.
The people tracking using it to track them need to go get the data from the buoy. I'm hoping this could make it easier by sending it.
I'll have to give it a try. Where did you find the wire for the antenna I tried Home Depot but couldn't find that specific type. I was gonna try the mom and pop down the road.
