Video: How to Remove an RFID Chip From a Card

Posted May 12, 2008 9:18 AM

From The UberReview:

In this Science Punk video you learn how to remove an RFID chip from a card in such a way that it can be installed into something else. The card in question is an Oyster Card, which is used for purchasing public transportation tickets and buying stuff from vending machines. The method would work for anything that has an RFID chip in it though; all you need is acetone to soften the plastic.

Do that process a few times without a mask to filter out organic molecules, and you will have brain damage.

Kind Regards....
