I'll tell you, this kind of thinking is getting under my skin.

I would imagine a high voltage/milliamp output device would render any microchip useless. Such high tech wizardry always has very low tech countermeasures.

Creative engineers will find a way around it. They may have already developed a chip that cannot be affected by outside sources - such as, what you described.

The only "chips" I will have inside me had better come loaded with cheese.

Wait till the United Nations hears about this - they'll be first in line.....they were recently suggesting the need to "identify" every person on earth.....this fits right into their plans.

Thieves will have a field day maintaing body parts containing the "chips" long after their victim is dead. Not only that, who will ever miss a victim that keeps on spending?

Any chip that small and that computationally powerful is going to adversely affected by ANY significant energy discharge.

No doubt these microchips will reassemble after we hack them to bits. Is a hammer considered an "outside source"?

Perhaps we'll complain that a person has a chip IN their shoulder instead of ON it?

APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS

Thermo Life

Thermo Life is a thermoelectric source generating power in concert with a thermoelectric principle that converts heat flow directly into electrical energy.
Wherever a temperature difference can be used, it is a self-generating energy source with an output of approximately 10 µW at voltages in the volt range.





Based on a temperature differential gradient, heat always seeks a cold surface. The Thermo Life generator when attached to a cold surface collects heat until it warms up to the same temperature as the heat moving to it.






Applications
The Thermo Life power generator is a new energy source for micro and sensor systems in consumer and medical applications, such as
  • attachable medical devices,
  • electronic wrist watches,
  • self powered heat sensors,
  • mobile electronics

Power Storage
Advanced Power Solutions has entered into a joint venture with Front Edge Technology. The technology solution presented through this joint venture portrays Thermo Life’s™ body-heat, thermo-electric generator as creating constant electricity whose flow is contingent upon body heat. Front Edge Technology’s NanoEnergy™ can be viewed as a technology capable of storing energy that flows to it and releasing that energy in a specific capacity over an extended period. This combination creates a tiny, reliable and self-generating power source that does not require constant contact with the body and is void of toxic or hazardous materials.
