Salt and Paper Battery May One Day Replace Lithium Batteries

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 07:55:27 GMT

clipper's remarks: more: The battery is made by coating the paper, made from this cellulose, with a conducting polymer and inserting a salt-solution-soaked filter paper between the paper electrodes.

Chlorine ions travel from the batteries positive terminal to the negative terminal while current is produced in the external circuit by the flow of electrons.

The battery can be recharged in tens of seconds because the ions flow through the thin electrode quickly. In comparison to a lithium battery that would take 20 minutes to recharge.

The salt and paper battery is still in the early stages of development as compared to other thin-film technologies. For a battery to be cost effective you need to able to obtain the material at relatively low cost and have a good manufacture process in place.

The battery could be produced commercially in about three years and made available to distributors.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Salt and paper battery can be used in many low-power devices, such as medical implants, RFID tags, wireless sensors and smart cards. This battery uses a thin-film which makes it an attractive feature for many portable devices that draws a low current.

At Uppsala University in Sweden, researchers have developed a flexible battery made of two inexpensive materials: cellulose and salt.

The cellulose is derived from a polluting algae found in seas and lakes. The algae's walls contain cellulose that has a different nanostructure, which gives it 100 times the surface area.

EMBEDDED RFID

Imagine it is the year 2015.

100,000 people hold a protest in front of the White House, to oppose the torture of prisoners of war, or perhaps the general erosion of Constitutional Rights.

Within the following 24 hours, all 100,000 of these protesters find that they have no access to their bank accounts.

Perhaps they also receive notice that they must visit the nearest FBI office for routine questioning, prior to accessing their accounts and other services.

Could this scenario really happen in the United States of America in the near future?

Thanks to embedded RFID technology it just might be.

RFID, short for Radio Frequency Identification, has been used for various applications since WWII.

In October of 2004, Verichip Corp. received approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the sale of RFID implants for human beings.

Uberveillance (ultimate surveillance)

All Australians could be implanted with microchips for tracking and identification within the next two or three generations, a prominent academic says.

Microchips are commonly implanted into animals to reveal identification details when scanned and similar devices have been used with Alzheimers patients.

US company VeriChip is already using implantable microchips, which store a 16-digit unique identification number, on humans for medical purposes.

Another form of uberveillance is the use of bracelets worn by dangerous prisoners which use global positioning systems to pinpoint their movements.

"Anyone with a mobile phone can be tracked to 15m now," she said, pointing out that most mobile phone handsets now contained GPS receivers and radio frequency identification (RFID) readers.

He also predicted that microchip implants and their infrastructure could eliminate the need for e-passports, e-tags, and secure ID cards.

Why the ban on mandatory RFID implants should be Federal

The California legislature recently banned employers from mandating RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) implants for their employees. While I’m glad I’m covered in my state, why isn’t this ban being implemented at the Federal level to cover every citizen? I’m not suggesting that we ban the devices; I’m suggesting that no one should be forced to stick on of these in their body just to get a job. I’ve covered the issue of RFID many times before and I’m not fundamentally opposed to RFID technology or RFID implants, but I do oppose the idea that anyone should be forced to implant one in their body and it would be just as offensive if my employer asked me to tattoo a bar code on to my forehead.

RFID chip implants linked to cancer in animals

The findings from studies dating from the 1990s up to last year suggesting implanted chips "induced" malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats are by no means conclusive (even in the case of animals), but raise serious question marks about the FDA's decision to approve the implantation of RFID chips, a decision that gave the go-ahead to controversial human chipping firm VeriChip in 2005.

Almost 2,000 glass-encased RFID transponders have been implanted in humans worldwide, according to figures from VeriChip. The firm maintains that its technology is safe. VeriChip said that other studies have concluded that microchip implants do not trigger malignant tumors in animals.

this kind of negative publicity spells the beginning of the end for VeriChip and their plans to chip us all like barcoded packages of meat

clipper's remarks: To date, about 2,000 of the so-called radio frequency identification, or RFID, devices have been implanted in humans worldwide, according to VeriChip Corp. The company, which sees a target market of 45 million Americans for its medical monitoring chips, insists the devices are safe, as does its parent company, Applied Digital Solutions, of Delray Beach, Fla.

“We stand by our implantable products which have been approved by the FDA and/or other U.S. regulatory authorities,” Scott Silverman, VeriChip Corp. chairman and chief executive officer, said in a written response to AP questions.

The company was “not aware of any studies that have resulted in malignant tumors in laboratory rats, mice and certainly not dogs or cats,” but he added that millions of domestic pets have been implanted with microchips, without reports of significant problems.

The FDA also stands by its approval of the technology.

When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved implanting microchips in humans, the manufacturer said it would save lives, letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients’ medical records almost instantly. The FDA found “reasonable assurance” the device was safe, and a sub-agency even called it one of 2005’s top “innovative technologies.”

But neither the company nor the regulators publicly mentioned this: A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating to the mid-1990s, stated that chip implants had “induced” malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats.

Leading cancer specialists reviewed the research for The Associated Press and, while cautioning that animal test results do not necessarily apply to humans, said the findings troubled them. Some said they would not allow family members to receive implants, and all urged further research before the glass-encased transponders are widely implanted in people.

State Sen. Simitian calls forced "tagging" of humans with RFID chips the ultimate invasion of privacy.

By K.C. Jones

September 4, 2007 10:03 AM

California legislators want to prohibit people from forcing others to receive tracking implants. Sen. Joe Simitian, a Palo Alto Democrat, announced that his Senate Bill 362, which would ban the practice, passed by a 28-9 vote last week.

"RFID technology is not in and of itself the issue. RFID is a minor miracle, with all sorts of good uses," Simitian said in a statement. "But we shouldn't condone forced 'tagging' of humans. It's the ultimate invasion of privacy."

The bill is headed for the desk of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for approval. If Schwarzenegger signs SB 362, California will join Wisconsin and North Dakota to ban forced RFID implantation.

Scott Silverman, Chairman of the Board of VeriChip Corporation, has proposed implanting the company's RFID tracking tags in immigrant and guest workers.

"Anyone remember VeriChip, a company that came up with the idea of implanting chips in humans for tracking them? They've been behind ideas like RFID tagging immigrant and guest workers at the border, and they've persuaded a former Bush Health Secretary to get himself chipped. In this CNET News.com article, we offer an update on how successful the idea has been. It turns out that, according to IPO documents, 222 people have been implanted, with sales revenue of $100,000." The CNET article points out that the RFID-implants adoption is slower than expected by VeriChip.

Microchip implants cause fast-growing, malignant tumors in lab animals: Damning research findings could spell the end of VeriChip

By Dr. Katherine Albrecht, Press Release -- http://www.citizensadvocate.net/newsletters/albrechtVeriChipAP.html

The Associated Press will issue a breaking story this weekend revealing that microchip implants have induced cancer in laboratory animals and dogs, says privacy expert and long-time VeriChip opponent Dr. Katherine Albrecht.

Albrecht first became aware of the microchip-cancer link when she and her "Spychips" co-author, Liz McIntyre, were contacted by a pet owner whose dog had died from a chip-induced tumor. Albrecht then found medical studies showing a causal link between microchip implants and cancer in other animals. Before she brought the research to the AP's attention, the studies had somehow escaped public notice.

MICROCHIP IMPLANTS CAUSE FAST-GROWING, MALIGNANT TUMORS IN LAB ANIMALS

As the AP will report, a series of research articles spanning more than a decade found that mice and rats injected with glass-encapsulated RFID transponders developed malignant, fast-growing, lethal cancers in up to 1% to 10% of cases. The tumors originated in the tissue surrounding the microchips and often grew to completely surround the devices, the researchers said.

Aside from the conviences such a chip can provide, such as storing medical records, banking info(replace credit and ATM cards), GPS, and security clearance, I think the drawbacks are overwhelming. This is just one more link in the gov. control chain. Such a device would make it much easier for the gov. to spy on you and infringe your rights without you even knowing. With a couple mouse clicks, Big Brother can pinpoint your location 24/7, track your spending trends, and see when yo went to the doctor last. The list goes on and on regarding it's potential for abuse. This has the capability of giving the gov. control over humans that would be unprecedented.

RFIDs are already trying to take their place in the world under every field imaginable and coaxed into things that we wouldn't need them for, what they really are for is surveillance, identification, electronic tagging and radio feedback. RFIDs and forced universal ID cards are the stepping stone prior to a microchipped population, so do your part as human beings with any bit of ethics and morality left in you and fight back. Say no to RFID tagging, say no to ID cards, say no to socialism/fascism/globalism/one-world-government, and say no to the chip.

Implants disabled two subjects during an assault on correctional staff.
Universal side effects in all 8 test subjects revealed that when implant was set to 116 MHz all subjects became lethargic and slept an average of 18-22 hours per day.
All subjects refused recreation periods for 14 days during the 116 MHz test evaluation, 7 of the 8 subjects did not exercise, in the cell or out of the cell and 5 of the 8 subjects refused showers up to three days at a time.
Each subject was monitored for aggressive activitiy during the test period and the finding are conclusive that 7 out of the 8 test subjects exhibited no agression, even when provoked.
Each subject experienced only minor bleeding from the nose and ears 48 hours after the implant due to initial adjustment.
Each subject had no knowledge of the implant for the test period and each implant was retrieved under the guise of medical treatment.

OOPS! DID VERICHIP HAVE A "SENIOR MOMENT?"

The company lays out nearly 20 pages of risk factors in its Form S-1 Registration Statement, a required document for the IPO. But what the company failed to reveal in its filing may be even more eye-opening, say CASPIAN privacy advocates Dr. Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre. The pair, authors of the "Spychips" series of books, have been vocal critics of VeriChip, dogging the company in recent years and facing down its senior executives on radio and national television.

"Potential investors should be told how a hacker can simply walk by a chipped person and clone his or her VeriChip signal, a threat demonstrated by security researcher Jonathan Westhues months ago," says McIntyre, who is a former federal bank examiner.

"Omitting the cloning threat from its SEC documents is a serious oversight that could affect the value of VeriChip's stock. This is materially relevant information, considering VeriChip's claim that its product could be used to tighten security in facilities like nuclear power plants," she adds.
