I'll argue against making something wearable just because it's perfectly capable of doing all the same stuff in wearable, as opposed to implant, form. Implants are cooler. Fans of it's already implanted, its easier to eventually incorporate body-based power sources. Such as heat or movement. Just I'd throw that out there,…

Alright, so I didn't have a whole lot of time today, but I did get a bit of work done with Qi Charger examinations. I determined that the circuitry powering the Qi charging receiver is larger than I thought. At least it is in the cheap ones I purchased, I imagine the expensive ones built in to smartphones are smaller. I…

I do believe that if the "particles" got big enough they would never become enveloped by the phagocytes and would instead end up being pushed out of the skin as something akin to a small metal splinter, else it may just drift about for a while. I'm not saying it's not possible, just that there's things to consider.

That link appears broken. @decal

I've thought it'd be cool to have practical tattoos, medical information, blood type, known allergies, etc... or other things like a sort of tattoo printed map of implants, anything that serves a purpose beyond just being ornamental. I do like the e-ink idea, but said e-ink particles are far larger than tattoo ink…

It creates its own wifi network that you connect to in order to access the contents, so it's about as secure as any non-password protected device on a password protected network is. If you turn off the wifi when not using it (to conserve power) then it could only be hacked when you are using it. Again, the best protection…

Yes, they did. Sorry for the delays for those of you keeping up with things. I've been extremely busy lately and haven't had time to get back to working on it. It is a decently high priority for me, I just haven't had time over the past couple weeks. I expect to have more regular availability starting this coming week, so…

I don't do social media. If I have something to say I can say it to the person or people I feel should know it. Don't care for the whole world to see everything I have to say. I'll admit to being one of those people who likes to photograph everything. Though for me it's more to record it than to share it. I have an ever…

@IvoTheSquire Possibly. I'll admit I'm not an expert when it comes to foreign governments and foreign government people.
-
Yay... another place for discussion... (there was sarcasm there) Could you just tell them all to come here? So we're all in one place? There's not really enough of us to have so many difffetent discussion mediums.
-
@scruffy I do like what your Australian head of government (President I think) said a while back (think it's been like 6 months or more now) about how the people coming to the country should adjust to the country rather than the way the US does things and tries to please all the immigrants and minority groups.

In general all I can say is I disliked Trump the least. So I guess I'm as satisfied with the results as I can be, personally thinking it's time to go "off the grid" and keep the government from knowing I exist at all. And I think Trump would have probably been better for things, my guess is he'd be more willing to loosen…

I believe his point was that sterilizing is to remove any organic matter from a (typically) metal tool, so you literally can't sterilize a hand. If you did you would dissolve the hand. Then there would be no hand. So you still would have failed to sterilize the hand. Thus, impossible to sterilize a hand. Taken from the…

I've had a thought, keeping in mind I didn't read any large bits of information regarding halbach designs, but... If a Halbach Array is constructed by alternating magnet layout patterns, and only half of said magnets are physically pointing in a direction, we'll say "out". And the resulting design focuses all the magnetic…

The mythbusters actually did a test once to see how well you could power a bunch of incandescent Lights using just ambient radio waves. Of course part of their problem was the low efficiency of incandescent bulbs and the fact they did their test inside of their metal warehouse testing building. I think it's perfectly…
-
@Cassox You've peaked my interest. What use for an implantable Halbach Array have you got?
-
@AmosKamal More anything that's being developed by the community or that has enough publicly available information for me to recreate it. I am interested in other developments too, but not as much so as something that I could actually plan on being able to use.
-
Little update, ordered more parts. Should arrive in about a week. Then I'll be working on Qi charging implementations. Got several different DIY "kits" (which I intend on dismantling) to test with and still hope to have the final product using a custom built one to fit the shape of the rest of the implant, so it doesn't…
-
I do plan on developing my own, but I would like to see anything regarding charging and power storage being developed. Would help with my data storage implant. I would love to see a viable alternative to lithium ion batteries.
-
@Benbeezy Out of curiosity, of all those different coatings which do you prefer? If your preference is based on something other than size and how sensitive it is, what is it based on? And what's the best based on size and sensitivity?
-
I'm not opposed to someone else spending time writing up some basic guides and tutorials, but that sort of thing is best left to other sites dedicated to the topic. Here I think we should focus on things like implanting, biocoating, treatment of implant sites, etc... Apple does some work to teach coding, but they don't…
-
I think you'll find that most of us have slightly different opinions. Mine, well... "Ethics Shmethics". As for being disliked, I don't think it's so much that we dislike this sort of discussion, it's just that it does have the potential to get a little conspiracy theoristy. So I do think it should have a distinct section,…
-
Little off-topic, but what happened to the picture in the original post? I ask because one thing I've been trying to figure out with our goal of website renovations is what to do to keep all the pictures from disappearing. Did you remove them? Were they hosted on a separate site and the link is now broken? Were they…

Think of it like a magnetic strip on a card. Similar to that more than Bluetooth. Bluetooth compares better to wifi or other wireless communications protocols.
-
@McSTUFF I assume you want to avoid batteries as your only reason for being mechanical, I'm very against traditional lithium ion batteries, so I like things like Thermoelectric Generators. Have you considered Peltier Generators to charge some sort of capacitor that could momentarily power something every time it fully…
-
@ightden I have done some testing and believe a variance of 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit is sufficient to power an LED. Don't know how long that would take to charge the battery, but I figure, if it's off... no matter how long it takes, a little power is better than no power. And if it turns out to be nearly useless, perhaps…
-
Thermal sensor, good idea. Can connect that to the arduino chip. Thinking Arduino Gemma Board would be best. Never done any project like this with arduino though, so I'll admit that it's a little bit of a mystery right now how I'm going to make all this fit and not be too large. Not sure what purpose that capcitor would…
-
@Meanderpaul I'll put you on my shortlist for one of the two prototype devices for testing. PS I can edit things on my phone just fine. What sort of phone are you using? @lolsmcfee "All day" isn't very specific I'm afraid, will it last all day, constantly streaming data, no where near that. Will it be able to be on all day…
-
It may be slightly off topic, but in your opinion (as more of an expert on it than me), would the increased surface area on a molecular level caused by this method: http://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=2701 Likely cause a metal to gather bacteria and such more than it otherwise would? (I'm thinking mostly in the case…
-
I'd like to add a couple details (more for record purposes in the event I end up not doing something). I need to get my hands on one or more small magnets (preferably actual implantable ones) to test range and magnetic interference for the reed switch. Since that will be a somewhat mandatory control method in order to use…
