Hey guys, been awhile hope things are going well.
I have an idea and I wanted to see what I need to have it come alive. I’m envisioning subdermal lights
(4 or 5) Which light up when I am in (whatever the capacity ) proximity of different frequencies like Alpha, Gamma, Beta, EMF, UHF…
Are there currently implants that do this or would they have to be developed?
Peace 
Something like that would require active power… a battery basically. Right now there are no safe battery chemistries or construction methods that could be used in a consumer grade device, so we focus on inductively powered devices. Something like this could be made and use inductive power, but then you’d need a big battery wearable to power it, and if you already have a wearable, just make the whole thing a wearable.
I see, thank you for making me aware of battery limitations with implants. I appreciate you answering my question, thank you.
It’s worth noting, for sure alpha particle detection isn’t possible under your skin… it won’t penetrate it
Beta can only penetrate slightly into skin… questionable if it would be able to reach fully thru skin and into the fascia where it would be implanted… and still have energy to set off the detector
I’ve heard something about RF picking up my own Alpha so it would have to have its own place marker to differentiate? But then, that person must not have considered the skin penetration issue, I suppose.
I did see this on Symbiont Labs Discord:

I don’t know anything about this, so it seems like the perfect topic for me to discuss in technical detail.
Compactors store power for future use, but it’s generally a slow charge for an all or nothing use. A good example is to power a camera flash. I remember years ago when taking apart disposable cameras if you charge the flash and you short the compactor you get a nice little reminder to not do that. Plus it really spices up a game of catch between coworkers…
Anyway, super compactors seem, from a quick google search, like they can slow down output and be more battery-like, but it’s still short term storage and would need an external power source.
Do you mean alpha brain waves, not alpha high energy particle radiation?
Actually capacitors are extremely quick to charge. They can absorb electrical current 1000x faster than a chemical battery. The reason your camera flash took a long time to charge was the process of building up voltage, not current. That high pitched whine that only got higher as it was “charging” was a flyback transformer increasing the voltage from 3v or 6v in the camera battery to anywhere from 350v to 600v! This high voltage is required to break down the resistance in the flash strobe gas and cause it to form plasma, releasing a ton of light in the process.
The primary problem with capacitors is they leak current internally. They basically lose charge pretty quickly just sitting there (section 2.2 in the PDF paper from @Satur9 above). A hybrid battery-capacitor aims to align the qualities of a capacitor with the qualities of a chemical battery, abating the liabilities of each in the process. Current concerns regarding commercial offerings include size, durability, overcharge/short off-gassing, and thermal runaway. More testing for in vivo applications is necessary.
Yes I should clarify I mean Alpha Brainwave Frequency
