  • @drjaaz - I've enjoyed my wrist magnet now for about 6 months. It sounds like appx the same location you're considering. It's sensitive which is great and I do not experience any negative effects on my movement. It does protrude significantly as it is a large magnet. I think part of it may have to do with gravity and my…
  • Hey Anuj. If you're looking for multiple people, email me at [email protected]
  • There are also some partners south of you in Everett, WA and Seattle. If I find one nearer to Vancouver, I'll let you know.
  • Anywhere in particular in Michigan? We don't have anything on the Dangerous Things map but I could check to see if there is anyone I've been in communication with that might be able to do it.
  • @Shellhound Got ya covered. Been doing weight training the post few days and did HIIT yesterday morning with no problem. The first few days it sucked just to turn my steering wheel (granted, I don't have power steering). Now, no discomfort at all. Hope that helps! 
  • @MattGuy Hey! The magnet is not quite touching tendon and causes no noticeable range of motion issues or discomfort at this point. When I use it a lot, there is mild soreness but I suspect that's because it's still not fully healed under the skin and my body just isn't used to being used in this way. It protrudes a little…
  • @tellari - I'm not sure exactly how far under the skin but it's fairly close to the surface though not close enough to see the color of the magnet under normal light. Check out photos from the previous post to get an idea. As far as what it can pick up, @drew can also pick up bottle caps with his finger magnets. He and I…
  • The magnets are 3mm x 5mm neodymium cylinders coated with a thin parylene shell. The gauss rating is 48.
  • Right-o. @Tellari - Sensitivity: At this point, I'm able to pick up slightly heavier objects than with the finger magnets and notice fields that it seems can't be picked up on by finger magnets. HOWEVER, I do not have finger magnets so everything I'm saying is based off comparing data with @drew. I'll keep you posted with…
  • Reporting on new location for magnet: wrist. On Saturday, drew and I got parylene coated cylindrical magnets implanted in our wrists with the intention of pairing it with a wristband with copper coil we're designing and will undoubtedly be talking about more soon. We went to Brian Decker out in NYC who's a super nice,…
