New eye and brain implants can restore vision. But they can do much, much more. They can give a super view or a remote view to their users. 

The new era for artificial vision is here. Solar power eye implants. They are used to restore sight to blind people. Those systems are tools that can be as fundamental as we might think. The machine's view is not a human's normal view. This means the system is not connected with natural view. And that is one of the things that we should discuss. The system that restores the view is the CCD camera, and the system that gives impulses to the nervous system. It is on the opposite side. When researchers make those microchips, they bring people closer to cyborgs. The systems that connect humans and machines. The bionic eye implant can make it possible. To create a system that communicates with computers. And that system can transfer screens into history. The eye implant is safer to install. Than an implant in the brain.

The thing is that. Those CCD systems can involve IR and UV sensors. That gives their users an ultimate view in the darkness. The IR system that uses IR light in the dark view cannot detect systems that use UV light. But the fact is that those eye implants can transmit any data to the nervous system. This makes the machine view very interesting. And a complicated thing. We know that blind people need those implants. But what if somebody wants the retina implant that gives them night vision? If we replace the human eye. With the bionic eye. 

This gives more possibilities to model those systems. And that causes a basic question: what if somebody just wants a bionic eye? Bionic systems can also interact with other systems. Which can be surveillance cameras, drones, etc. This means that the eye-implanted microchip can communicate with things like computers and exchange data, or a camera system. Those that are on a helmet or at the front of the eyes. The same technology. That which is used in those bionic microprocessors can benefit in intelligent contact lenses, which get their electricity. From the natural light. 

This means that the implanted microchips can replace things like computer screens. And the other thing is that those systems can give a super view. To their users. The microchip that is implanted in the eye can also transmit data. Through Bluetooth to other systems. And that makes it possible.  That remote operators see. And hear. Everything that the person says. Who carries those systems hears. and sees. Those systems can also have a microphone. And maybe in some futuristic world, bionic implants can be equipped with laser microphones. That can hear things. That happens over long distances. The laser microphone can also transfer oscillations from any surface. Tike tables and walls.  To the remote operators. The only problem with laser microphones is that. They must have a direct line to the observed system.

Osmotic engine.

Above: Osmotic engine diagram. 

“Osmotic power plants harness the same principle as osmosis: water moving from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one across a semipermeable membrane. At Fukuoka, electricity is produced from the salinity gradient between two streams placed on either side of a semipermeable membrane. 

On one side, there is concentrated seawater created by extracting fresh water; on the other, treated water from a sewage treatment facility. The membrane allows water to pass but blocks impurities. As water naturally moves toward the saltier side, pressure builds and is used to spin a turbine, which then drives a generator.

The osmotic engine can give.  A big advance in nanotechnology. And that system can also revolutionize energy production, if full-scale osmotic systems can be produced someday. The osmotic engine's basis is in osmosis. When there is a semi-permeable membrane between two liquids. Another is a strong salt mixture, and the other is a weaker mixture. Water travels from a weak concentration. To the strong concentration. The flow continues until those concentrations have the same salt content. “ (Interesting Engineering, Inside Asia’s first osmotic power plant: How Japan turns saltwater into electricity )

There is a possibility of using osmosis as a power source. Those systems are tested in Japan and Denmark.

The semi-permeable membrane can have nano-sized propellers in the holes. The water flows between those concentrations. And puts those propellers into motion. Nano-propellers make nano-sized generators rotate. The problem is that. It is needed. A lot of those nano-sized systems. This makes those systems hard to make.

In some other versions. Osmosis drives liquid into the other side of the piston. There, that membrane makes a “window”. This allows the osmotic reaction, which raises the piston. 

On a large scale. There are plans. To create closed-cycle osmotic engines. The idea is that the osmotic engine makes water flow. Through that membrane. The system takes energy from that movement. Then the system can use the capillary effect. To flow that liquid up. Then the system drops liquid through another membrane. This separates salt from water. Then that separated salt will be driven to the chamber where there is a stronger concentration. 

The osmosis engine is one of the things. That can be the power source of the future. The system can give energy to things. Like small-scale underwater systems. The system must only filter salt from the water flow. Then it drives that distilled water under the membrane. And then the osmotic force pulls. That distilled water passes through the membrane to the salt water. There is also a possibility to connect. The small-sized underwater robot movement. 

To this system. The system can drive distilled water behind the osmotic, or semi-permeable membrane. Then that water travels. To a stronger salt concentration. This forms the pushing effect. This kind of system. There is a membrane that removes salt from water. Making an osmotic pressure. Pushing those nano-robots forward can revolutionize the movement. The membrane can make the cleaning process by moving back and forth. Then that weaker salt concentration travels to the nanomachines' osmotic membrane. These kinds of systems can enable nanomachines to move very well.  The osmotic systems can be used. In small robot submarines. That should move in the blood vessels.

New eye implant restores vision.

 

"A new electronic eye implant has restored reading vision to people blinded by dry age-related macular degeneration. In a major trial, patients using the PRIMA implant and augmented-reality glasses were able to see letters and words again after years of darkness." (ScitechDaily, Solar-Powered Eye Implant Restores Reading Vision)

The solar-powered eye implant restores reading vision. These types of innovations are coming. Into everyday use. Those microchip implants could make a person see in the dark. If there is an IR and thermal IR vision. The fact is that these kinds of microchips are tools. That can make it possible to combine humans with machines in new ways. The eye-implanted microchips can act as screens. That makes it possible to create a connection with the internet without the brain implants. 

The microchip that restores vision can send that data into the nerve, or it can act as a screen. The system can transmit those signals to the optic nerve or straight to the visual cortex of the brain. That requires a connection between that chip and the visual cortex. 

The last version is the intelligent contact lens that can revolutionize. The human’s abilities. In those systems, the CCD camera is on the other side. And the screen is on the other side. The system can have a miniaturized Bluetooth. This makes it possible to communicate. With other Bluetooth devices. 

The same technology is used with those microchips. It can be used with intelligent contact lenses, which are a lightweight method. To complete the human-machine interface. The intelligent microchips can accomplish the task. That we can call. The technical remote view. Those microhips can collect information from drones and other tools. Which have the compatible systems. 

There is a possibility that the animal. Like some bird. Could get this microchip. And then the GSM- or radio transmitter. That allows it to transmit everything that it sees to the ground stations. Small-sized data transmitters can be connected to the feet of the bird, like message capsules are connected with a bird of prey. Or they can be surgically implanted under the chest of the animal. Those systems can transmit voice and images to the observers. Those microchips can involve microphones. And they allow operators to see how real animals behave. They can also be used in robots as tools that can collect information and share it between other actors.
