+user13371 Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Would this be enough to power a GPS? http://www.adsx.com/prodservpart/thermolife.html This company, Applied Digital Solutions makes all sorts of wierd stuff that could be related to our hobby -- or Big brother. Wristwatch sized personal tracking devices. Implantable computer chips that can contain medical histories. Also working on a combination of those two ideas, an implantable chip with GPS capabilities. But this ThermoLife thing seems to have the most commercial potential; intended as a power source for medical devices. It might not pertain directly to our hobby here, except it's fascinating to think how SMALL this stuff can get. Just rambling on an otherwise boring Friday night. Quote Link to comment
peter Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Looks interesting for some specialized applications, but a typical GPSr runs on about 400 milliWatts whereas their stated output is 10 microWatts. So you'd need 40000 of the power devices to run one GPSr - hope they're cheap. Quote Link to comment
