content: Hi everybody,first of all, since this is my first post on this forum, thank you all for helping to build this wonderful community. I have been reading the forum for a while now, and I have learned quite a lot already. I'm into electronics since the age of 5 or 6 and now I'm in the middle of designing my first L-Band receiver. So much for the background, now on to the topic.A friend of mine asked me about a new product she has found-- the VitaChip! She wanted to know how it works. Apparently, a few wise guys have decided to 3D print some plastic chips and sell them to esoteric people, claiming it will somehow convert EM waves and make them feel good or something. By now, they are probably into volume production from what I have heard so far. Yes, I know, it hurts.The reason I'm writing this is: Is anyone here willing to put $50 on this piece of crap, and tear it down to see whether there is actually *something* in there besides just plastic? Maybe the producers are even willing to send one for review?If you have never heard of this revolutionary product that will change your life, here you go (protect your head before reading this crap, because you'll be bashing it against the table):http://vita-chip.com/Have fun

content: Sometimes I think about making a bullshit product like that to subsidize my real work. Maybe an Arduino-compatible, Bluetooth-enabled, IoT dream catcher that tweets when it catches a bad vibe. Hmm... I smell a Kickstarter campaign.

content: No need to waste money to buy one of those 'chips'. In the web page for another company founded by the same vita-chip CEOs there is an accurate scientificdescription of what a bio-transmitter like the vita-chip does:QuoteI wonder if it would help also to improve the specs of my cheapie signal generator....
