I’m not going to be able to give you specifics, but basically not enough juice available. There has been (at least one) attempt(s) to run an implanted storage device, but powered with a QI charger for phones.
Will look for a reference for ya.
Ta-Da!
Random thought while reading another post.
The wireless chargers for phones can support 1-2 amps, which is really alot of power in the right circumstances. Could a solid state memory device be both powered and communicated with over such a field?
I’m envisioning a moderately sized implant that when placed in contact with a power source (like a QI Charger) would receive sufficient power to operate both the memory module and a small Tx / Rx module.
Basically I’m just trying to eliminate batteri…
Not sure which one you’re talking about, but the version of the PegLeg I’m talking about doesn’t have a battery. You strap the Qi charger to wherever it’s implanted, and that’s how it’s powered. It needs the Qi charger to stay powered on, no charging at all.

I’m not saying it’s a good implant, or that it’s a good idea, but this is a proof of concept.
So one of my random thoughts.
There are wireless USB devices, which apparently are referred to as WUSB. Information I can find is sketchy at best. (seriously what powers it)
Pictures I can find seem to suggest a very small device.
How off base is the idea of connection one of these to a coil tuned to a wireless cell charger, then coating it in Amal’s magic goop, and implanting it? My thought is you would present it to the charger to power it, at which point it should be discoverable by your P…
