- cavilling_elite 13y agoDoesn't work well in my 9.4 T MRI environment :)
- Crito 13y agoThat's for sure. I wonder how safe these sort of implants are even when just playing around with other rare earth magnets. Having the implant ripped out because you absentmindedly picked up another magnet would really suck.
- lytfyre 13y agoTwo guys I know through the local hackspace have had this done. One is a cable/internet tech, and claims that it may have saved his life - you can't perceive voltage potential, but you can "sense" current flow. He was standing in a puddle of water, and was reaching towards the inside of a cable box on a house, and "felt" current flowing through it. Investigated, and found that the line into the box had been rubbing against a household electrical wire, and had worn through the insulation on both, causing a short that was carrying power through the box.
- Qantourisc 13y agoI wonder if the same result can't be obtained by a magnetic ring ...
- corin_ 13y agoI know literally nothing about this, but would posit the hope that if multiple people have cared enough to implant an object under their skin, at least one of them would have considered a less-permanent solution like a ring before hand and tried it out.
