If you'd like a lower effort version: I glued a tiny, but powerful, magnet to my fingernail and then coated it with a few layers of nail polish.
It looked more than a little flashy, and it provided less sensation than it would've implanted, but it worked surprisingly well.
- rokhayakebe 15y agoWhy not just have a magnet finger ring?
- kristiandupont 15y agoCouldn't you simply carry a magnetic ring? Or would that not work for some reason?

- idupree 15y agoWhere's a good place to get magnetic rings for this purpose? I searched Amazon and found things like magnetic bracelets marketed as alternative medicine to cure you. None of the reviews I found mentioned using them as an electromagnetic sensor, so I can't tell if they're useful for the purpose.
- idupree 15y agoI found a friend who's had magnet rings; he pointed me to some info: http://hackaday.com/2012/01/02/give-yourself-a-sixth-sense-on-the-cheap/ http://hackaday.com/2012/01/02/give-yourself-a-sixth-sense-o... (follow the links; it links to "Holy Scrap" blog which links to a couple online magnetic-ring-sellers). I also found a ring sizing guide: http://pages.ebay.com/buy/guides/ring-sizing-guide/ http://pages.ebay.com/buy/guides/ring-sizing-guide/
- billswift 15y agoThere should be a difference in sensation because of the difference in mass of the ring versus implant. An implant, simply because it is so much smaller, should have a stronger reaction, should move or vibrate more, for a given strength of field.

- kaybe 15y agoWhat kind of glue did you use? I'd love to try the concept, but as a physicist I can't afford to be permanently magnetic.
