  • Not sure about links, but I have VP 782N-3 Magnetic Tumble Stir Disc if that helps. Chances are your local tatoo/piercing shops will be the best source to find someone who will do implants. They'll probably give you a weird look, but eventually you'll find someone who knows a guy who will do it. If you're willing to go to…
  • Wait and don't mess with it until it's fully healed. I think the only way to 'increase' sensitivity is to learn the feeling more. Take a decently strong magnet, and wave your magnet over it/around it feeling the difference in the field as you get closer/further away..The more you do this, and the more magnets you…
  • The major problem, at least IMO, is that you're purposefully alienating those not in the grinder faith. Grinding is faith agnostic, it should not matter if you believe in flying spaghetti monsters or superman (or whatever the kids are into these days). There is a saying, never bring up religion or politics in conversation.…
  • MRI's are also full of poisonous gas, so if a piercing/magnet were to rip out and actually puncture the machine...You get the idea.
  • 1. sorry, can't really help there. Mine are parylene coated: They are VP 782N-3 Magnetic Tumble Stir Disc, per the link these are not the kind that can be autoclaved, and will only stay magnetic below 80C. Diameter: 3.4MM Thickness: 0.733 MM 2. I believe closer to the skin is better. Mine are off of the pad-because I do a…
  • 1. The fan in my laptop is right below my pinky/middle finger. Feeling it ramp up is like feeling my laptops heart beating. I can feel the hard drive spin too, but not as well. 2. Drills, especially older ones are really cool 3. Magnets big enough to feel the field from 2-3" away, but not so big that they hurt to stick to…
  • "I was under the impression from reading the OP that he was asking specifically about the "hackability" of Bluetooth or Wi-fi implants, not upgradability or physical security concerns. Implanting an antenna doesn't change how easy it is to transmit to, or receive from, it." Think of it like old wireless routers. They…
  • "The security issues present with any wireless implants are identical to those faced by any other similar device, the fact that it's implanted doesn't inherently change anything." It seriously changes one big thing. It's easy to replace your computer/phone/tablet if it gets infected/ages/etc. It would not be so easy to…
  • Mine are both off axis towards the thumb; in the pinky and middle finger. I can feel my hard drive with the pinky but not the middle. I think the pinky magnet isn't as deep as the other, which would explain that.
  • The best tool is a guage needle of the right size, use it to make a pocket beneath your skin; insert magnet; and then use the metal tool to draw it into the pocket. There are many tools that will do basically the same thing. Get some skin glue handy. Drug stores should also have some numbing/cleaning spray stuff that helps…
  • Congrats man! good luck with the healing!
  • Does Indy count?
  • I'm a real advocate for finding someone to do it professionally. I had 2 done for $60 (total, not each) + the magnets. Extremely professional, everything was sterile (you can autoclave the equipment but don't heat up the magnet), and from walking in the door to done was 20ish minutes. I didn't need stitches or glue, though…
  • Tesla head. I wish I could try it out, maybe if I ever meet a mute grinder I'll propose it! http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18521-more-is-merrier-for-wireless-power-supply.html#.UdNitpz3MrU MIT talks about powering multiple devices from one coil, though I don't know if it could be that accurate...It could be possible…
  • "One cool thing: I plugged my ear with my finger that has the magnetic implant and music comes out of my fingertip. So cool." Is it possible that a magnet like this could be placed to resonate on larynx, like a vocal chord, and use the bodies natural resonance to amplify the sound? I'm thinking of this as a method to allow…
  • I haven't had time to read the full thing, but I wanted to agree with you that there is a lot of stigma about this subject. I think a lot of people just don't understand, and even fear, some of the more...out there people. The saddest part? Our culture truly accepts transhumanism within forms of entertainment! Some…
  • http://www.timecube.com/ Timecube is a fantastic rant by an amazingly crazy person. And while I completely disagree with PsyNinja, it's interesting to watch someone with absolutely no proof of something create an argument for it! 
  • A. Get it done professionally, I didn't even need stitches/glue/bandaid. B. If you insist on glue instead of professional or stitching; instead of crazy glue look near the bandaids and find skin glue. Yes super glue was designed to hold flesh together, but this isn't you standard wound. You will need to cut off the blood…
  • Dude, call around to your local tatoo shop and figure out which one does subdermals. Someone in your area probably does. If it's Indy I can help you out. I had feeling after a few days and fully healed after a week and half. They will disinfect everything, and they are professional. Doing it to yourself is not wise. I've…
  • Hey me too! 3mm x .7mm discs are just big enough to nudge around the big glob, or like you said make a tiny blob move around. I think it would work if the glass on the display was thinner. I kinda want to put one of those magents that come with it in my hand. You can break the black parts off, and the smaller black part is…
  • I'm gonna have to agree with ThomasEgi..Maybe you could get a hotspot and tape it to yourself for a week, only doing inductive charging and see how you like it. You'd have to charge it in your sleep I would imagine, so tests of whether you can keep your body on an inductive charger all night would be good.
  • I would also be interested in some bigger parylene coated magnets. Maybe we could put together a group order?
  • I sent you a PM. For others, I'm in the Indianapolis area and can send you the info if you want.
  • Per the description on the site, these magnets are not safe to be autoclaved. I'm thinking grain/rubbing alcohol is probably the best way to sterilize...But wanted to ask to make sure. http://www.vp-scientific.com/Alnico_&_Rare_Earth_Stir_Bars.php#VP782N Pre-implant process: Soak in salt water 2-3 days. Check for air…
  • rdb I had actually written a sentence along the lines of "Not really sure if this would be better than any other haptic feedback system" at the end, then removed it...lol At any rate I would think it falls into the same category as the glove. Some wire run along a vest (for electromagnets) would be much thinner than…
  • Wow Warwick's experiment is damn amazing! Same with the bottlenose. Why limit this idea to echolocating though? I've been contemplating this for a couple of days, and it seems like you would need an external system of some sort to gather data right? So you would need to implant something to talk to that external input or…
