Magnet Man
Nowadays ideas such as cyborgs and androids are quite popular in fiction, but what if we could use them in real life, creating Human 2.0. One simple, yet quite effective thing we could do is connect a magnet to some of our nerves. If you run electricity through a magnet, then it will become a more powerful electromagnet, so if you connected it to nerves then, since nerves are just like wires in your body that deliver electrical impulses sent from your brain, then you could control the strength of the electromagnet and it might even feel as natural as making a fist. you would just have to send an electrical impulse to the magnet (your brain uses electrical impulses to tighten muscle, so it would feel as if you were tightening a muscle that would actually be the electromagnet) and you would have the ability to move metallic objects, or even something as helpful as stopping a bullet.
I like the idea but wouldn't your body interfere with the capabilities? Magnets have reduced efficiency through objects (such as your body) so to get the necessary force to do pretty much anything would require a much larger magnet then what would be effective.
ReplyDeleteIdeally the magnet would be only under a thinner layer of skin as to reduce such interference.
