Is that bad, doctor ? 
Youāre probably right one this one. Yet I feel like chemistry is the way to go for energy harvesting in vivo, there must be a way 
Yeah, the body manages to move energy around so how do we tap into that mechanism?
Vampire chips 
Edit: are we going into symbiote territory here? Love it

The only reliable mechanism that Iāve heard of that could harvest chemical energy from the body without significantly impacting health are glucose biofuel cells
Check out this thesis
I still think doing so is silly when RF energy harvesting is so efficient. You just have to deal with maintenance of the external source, but Iām fine with that. Thatās why Iām here.

Is there a way to embed a chip with a capacitor inside a dermal piercing post? And then use the posts on a magnetic usb charger? Every time I look at my piercing it reminds me of an old device I had that had a magnet charging port. Donāt know if this would work just had a thought when I was looking in the mirror lol.

I think the general trend was dermals werenāt trusted due to possibly becoming infected or ripping out
I think it would be sweet if those could be ironed out
There is the matter that your flesh is conductive, so youād need to insulate it
Last I heard, caps werenāt working out very well
Though
, I have a couple devices that also use magnets to charge, to help them remain water proof

This project is possible anyone want to work with it, this is similar to LED tattoo.
An LED tattoo is a type of body modification similar to a traditional tattoo, but it involves the implantation of technologically based materials instead of traditional ink injection into the layers of the skin. LED tattoos are accomplished by a combination of silicon-silk technology and a miniature lighting device known as a light-emitting diode. While there is potential for many applications in the medical, commercial, and personal domains, the technology is still in the development stage

Well hello, I havenāt encountered you yet. What would you like to do?
Hello @Satur9 I had my chip implant last year and having a blast since having it, showing off to my friends/family/social media, etc. using it as 2-auth, password, ,launching apps, storing informationās, BTC address etc. Iāve been checking out your projects like Bodybytes Implant - #107 by Pilgrimsmaster and HF LED Power Accessories and also this one, and I would like to help you guys out!

How would you like to help out? Is there a specific project that interests you more than the others, and what type of skills or resources can you bring to the table?
Iām a software/system engineer also a cyber-security & penetration tester (grey-hat), Iām very interested with those 3 projects also my aunt company international logistics a registered partner of IBM, I got of tech connection in linkedin but itās permanently restricted. I can also bring in investors and money if those projects are successful.
The way around some of these response related issues; may be to collaborate with the working group responsible for the company itself.

Hey, just reading about this project for the first time, seems very cool. I may have an alternative approach though; So i have thought about how cool it would be to have programmable tatoos before, and one possible solution that came to my mind were e-paper displays, or rather their underlying principle. Basically they have electrostatically charged white and black ink droplets, suspended in oil (-cells). By applying an electric field you can change what colour is near the surface.
For skin implants you would need to encapsulate everything in a small glass (or similar) bead, so the ink doesnāt come into direct contact with the body. Alternatively you could also use magnetic spheres or discs with two coloured sides, also in a glass sphere so it can easily rotate. To use it as a clock, you would need to have a flexible pcb to generate the magnetic or electric fields. If you use magnetic fields it might not even require a lot of power, since you could make it an oscillating circuit with a capacitor, only using up little energy rotating the magetic spheres. It might still be a bit high though. But a fun observation i have made, is that electric power in houses often produces 60Hz magnetic fields, which you can even measure with a multimeter by touching both ends with your fingers sometimes. I imagine that induction could be used to power implants, using a long enough coil/antenna.

Ah nice, thanks. But i thought of applying the colour beads by tatooing them, allowing them to be way closer to the surface. It should also be easy to āprogramā them externally, that would however not work for a clock or similar though.
Letās continue this line of discussion on the eink tattoo thread instead

I was really into this project and had a breadboard prototype but gave up because I couldnāt get any betavoltaic suppliers to take me seriously, but that might change?
Iām sure itās being sensationalised but if this company doesnāt make them easily available then maybe someone else will soon with all the media attention

Iāve been trying to get ahold of those for a few months, they were announced last year. I have a couple friends who go to Shenzhen semi regularly and theyāre looking for me. Weāll see. Those are ideal because theyāre Nickel-63. Iām still interested in a solution involving hybrid supercapacitors, I just havenāt had the money or bandwidth to continue development yet
