I’ve been always intrigued by the cyberpunk genre and wanting to implement that in myself. I’ve yet to do my first implant, but I’ve generally been of the opinion “go big or go home”
Copying an RFID seems great and all, but most seem gimmicky, something that’s more easily done by something you carry rather than advantageous to actually have. In that regard, the magnet implant seems decent, a magnetic sense is just cool… but I’m not sure how useful it’d actually be (if someone can share stories were it made the world of difference, please, be my guest), but I’ve been more interested in stuff that actually does something… bigger.
The problem is, most of these ideas require an active system instead of a passive system. RFIDs and Magnets are great in this regard since they don’t require a power supply, but the ideas I have are things that require at least a tiny bit of voltage.
In that regard, a thought is… what about an wireless charger with a small non-toxic capacitor to power implantable devices? Then, an additional implant for emergency charging, could have a few magnets in the leg near the knee, and go all “restless leg syndrome” to create a vibrating magnetic field if the charger allows charging that way?
Having power opens up a whole world of possible implants. Everything from bio-monitoring to things integrating internet access. So, considering that… has anyone tried wirelessly charged implants before, or generating their own power with their magnet implant?
Also, has anyone tried, instead of a magnet, doing an implant with a permanent static charge?
