Magnets implanted in fingers give sensitivity to magnetic fields

Holy shit, I WANT THEM! :biggrin:

 

[phucheneh]

Uhm...I don't get it?

'Oooohhh...I can 'feel' magnetic fields.'

And the practical application is...?

'SHUTTUP I GOT MAGNET FINGARRS!!!!'

This is what happens when you give 4chan access to surgical instruments, I guess.

lol
So he's an EE that wants to feel magnetic fields?

 

[ImpulsE69]

Yea..don't get what the practical purpose of this is at the moment. I'm guessing there must be some useful reason beyond "wow I just put magnets in my fingers and they vibrate around electronics.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

...and then he's in need of an MRI and has his fingers stuck against the machine.

Where do these people live? I'm just curious about where on Earth people have not heard of gloves?

hope they ain't rare earth magnets and get ripped out his fingers.

 

[sdifox]

I can sense strong magnetic fields like the transmission lines. My head feels funny when I go under them.


It could be purely psychological for me though.

I found this story to be Mag-NEATO!

No, it's real. I get headaches if I work under high tension lines for any amount of time.

Why not just wear magnetic rings?

 

[manimal]

are magnetic cock rings next?

Sensitivity is lower with magnetic gloves.

Neodymium, so yes, it's rare earth.

Sensitivity is infinitely higher with implanted magnet.

Wonder what this will do to credit cards.

Read the AMA...
The guy said that the magnet is far too weak to create any problems.

 

[Broheim]

no but magnetized cocks are, it's gonna solve all of our energy problems once every man has a magnetic dick and hands...

Or use it as a form of punishment for rapists...

"Embalm" the shank with large granular ferrofluid, then send them to a 5 Tesla MRI. I don't know if the coxplosion would be as dramatic as say a 10F 5kW discharge directly across a jumbo size Hebrew National frank but something "down there" is definitely sure to happen. :biggrin:

Thanks for that image rubycon, i'm going to walk with a limp for the rest of the day now!

Might make it easier to pick paper clips up off the floor. :hmm:

Sensitivity is infinitely higher with implanted magnet.

How so? You could easily compensate with stronger and/or more magnets in gloves along with other sensors. All they're doing is feeling the pull of the magnets from the field. Big whoop. Get back to me when they get skin grafts with electromagnetic circuits attached that lets them manipulate a magnetic field.

JHumeC, infinitely?

 

[FelixDeCat]

Only and idiot would do this (stupid magnetizing magnetizers). You cant touch a smartphone screen now because you will invert the display!

Stronger magnets wouldn't feel the more subtle changes into the magnetic field.
This does.

Blabla, magnet too weak for that, blabla.
Read the fucking AMA.

That guy is a lying liar. I dont care what he claims. He is and idiot.

Why implant them? Can't you get the same effect from a well designed pair of gloves?
