What device could be used to light up LED implant from a fair distance. Basically have a cyberpunk inspired tattoo (Jhonny silverhand arm) and want to add add LED implant that I could activate with a device from a decent distance let’s say 1 foot. First idea in mind is a custom made reader inside my shirt on the rib cage area. Any ideas ?
LED powering is actually a pretty hot topic:
Unfortunately, there’s nothing that I know of that gets anywhere near the 1 foot range you’re looking for yet
There are also some other glowy-type implants that have been brought up which may be of interest to you:
LF xLED with el cheapo wireless charging coil. We played with putting a bend in the coil (think of the coil as being on an X-Y plane now bend it so it extends onto the Z-axis) and it worked great. One foot of range is wildly unrealistic. These things are designed to work at most at a few inches.
One foot is pretty difficult to achieve.
I’ve made some small signal generators and have gotten about 3 inches pushing 9v through it but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Mid to end of November I plan to have something more user friendly out but extensive testing is needed.
