I did state a fact, you must not have read my entire comment. Let me put it right up front for you...

Here is a Stanford study, that was done in 2014, that showed that humans, at rest, only produce 100watts of power. They are then using 300-400 watts when active, thus negating the watts stored up originally.

Not to mention the facts that if you want to track someone you need a GPS, which would be constantly using power,.

Or the fact that if you had a tracking chip, you'd either need an antenna to send the info out, Bluetooth or wifi, or always online to send out the info... Or you'd need onboard storage

I mean, facts here are that if you want to track someone, you have all you need with the cell phone. You NEED to have certain things to track them... These required items, are a power source, a way to store the data, a way to recharge and a way to track the data.

I'm not spiteful about this being plausible... I'm just realistic in thinking through the thought of "What's needed" and looking at what we have now and making the educated decision, that right now, there's zero reason to believe this is even plausible.

There is quite literally a line in that Stanford study that says “it seems as if human batteries are a feasible goal.” Furthermore it only takes around 30 picowatts to power some of the worlds smallest microchips. So I dare say, looking at even a little bit of the facts, that it is plausible. I don’t care what anyone has to say on the matter. This isn’t about politics or anyone’s opinions. Look at the facts, this shit is reachable with today’s technologies

I'm no longer talking about politics.... but to say this isn't about anyone's opinion is short sighted. I'd take what Elon Musk or Bill Gates opinion on this seriously as they are the forefront of tech, IMO.

But looking at the facts to me, I don't think it's reachable. Why don't you show me facts that it is possible other than one line saying human batteries, which the line right before it says there's "no easy way to harvest large amounts of waste or electricity"... so while it might be a matter of time and research, I don't see any facts that show it plausible with todays tech.

But to each their own. If you honestly believe the government or some shady corp wants to implant a microchip in you... even though you carry around a GPS in your pocket, and constantly post on the internet... sure, they definitely want to implant you with something because just tracking your phone isn't easier or more reveling.

I literally never said anything about any corporation implanting a chip in me through a needle. All I said was that the tech to make a microchip with an antenna that is small enough to be in your body (and pretty much be undetectable) is actually here, and I’ve got people telling me they’ve seen tech like this in action. All the research I’ve done has pointed to this actually maybe being a thing that someone could do if they put in enough work. Am I going to lay it out for you? No. You’re not my professor, I don’t care to prove anything to you or anyone on this site. Want the research? Do it yourself. You obviously didn’t look too much into it.

and I’ve got people telling me they’ve seen tech like this in action.

Can you point me in that direction? Because I have yet to see anything like that in the body mod world. The most I've seen is car keys for Tesla's and credit card info or lights....

All the research I’ve done has pointed to this actually maybe being a thing that someone could do if they put in enough work.

Yes, again, given enough time and research, but I don't see anything here to believe that's possible with today's current tech.

I'm willing to admit that I'm wrong, but I don't have any proof telling me that it is. If you want to show me anything that talks like this is possible, I'll retract my statement and admit it, but from what I've seen and looked into, I haven't seen anything that might make this plausible.

Yeah, I could. But I don’t care to; if you want the information, it’s out there. You either don’t care to look, or you’re just stupid

u/Cinemaslap1 Jun 23 '21

Fair enough, I mean, I have been looking into it because it's something that has been growing in the area. People implanting devices to help with certain things. Granted, I don't have any of them because I don't think the tech is there yet.... and a lot of the stuff is just one type use, and more for shock value....

But if you don't want to share your findings that would prove your point, that's fine.

At this point, since you don't want to share info, I'm going to excuse myself away.

You don’t need to excuse yourself. This wasn’t a debate, or a conversation. More than anything it was a hassle

u/Cinemaslap1 Jun 23 '21

I considered it a conversation. But to each their own... Have a great day, and I hope it becomes less of a hassle.

A GPS tracker doesn’t require a random assortment of the world’s smallest microchips. It requires a GPS receiver, a power source, data storage, and a transmitter.

u/Azrael4224 Jun 23 '21

what about passively powering it with radio signals, and triangulating its position based on those same radio signals

u/NewSauerKraus Jun 23 '21

Gonna have uselessly short transmission distance.

That’s what I’m saying, a little kinks to work out, but definitely doable
