Powering Implants with Ambient RF Energy

You are walking through an invisible ocean of energy that could power your internal organs.

Right now, millions of people with pacemakers and medical implants rely on batteries,

and when those batteries die, they literally need surgery to replace them.

But that is about to change forever. Scientists are perfecting RF energy harvesting, which basically

scavenges power from the Wi-Fi signals, cell towers, and TV broadcasts floating around

us. They are building stretchable antennas that stick to your skin and tiny receivers

inside your body that turn these radio waves into actual electricity. Imagine never worrying

about battery life because the air around you keeps you alive.
