Can we run micro-electronics off a human pulse? Sure we can and it maybe easier than ever thought. In fact, I propose a .5 to .7 watt chip and LED light for battlefield communication, which would run off the biological pulse of the human being. Eventually moving the power down to .2 watts for energy savings. By using human energy, we will delete the need for batteries in communication. In fact it maybe possible to use the small vibrations of the inner ear to power up a chip which can assist in inter-human communication or brain to brain thru the ear. Without the need for higher volumes the energy will be low wattage and low need.

A special team could move under the same information and situational awareness in a completely net-centric group without a single word being uttered. The background sound and noise would run the tiny embedded unit in combination with the vibration in the inner ear and the pulse of the individual.

How can we be sure this will work? Well, because it is already being done and it is only a matter of miniaturizing the components. Miniaturization is nothing new to the hearing aide industry or the medical profession. We as consumers can buy flashlights that are powered up using electromagnetic induction technology to charge a capacitor instead of the headlights working off a battery. Currently there are some nifty micro-flashlights being used which you can buy which use a similar technique and are available thanks to the Everlite Flashlight technology research lab. These smaller flashlights work by shaking them for about thirty seconds and shine for about 6 minutes and they shine quite bright since they use a very bright LED light. Here is a link to this home use flashlight:

Here is a quick movie you can watch online to see how this technology works.

I propose we use the human pulse, inner ear vibrations, Earth’s frequency, surrounding electromagnetic energy, heartbeat, background sound and the footsteps as the rumble powers up my concept. This does not mean that the unit would not have back-up batteries, only that you would not be asking for any juice or connect it to the battery unless it was totally necessary. Perhaps this is a good way to communicate during a time when you must remain silent? Think on this.
