I'll fucking buy it

Izzy had one of these pens on Digimon.

How do the first LEDs light when he just shorted them out?
stormegedendarklordofall
@OP where to get the pin please

It's for drawing protective wards and glyphs.
LeeSenpaiSin
The way theese circuits are beeing closed makes no sense....
wantednokes
do you have to press that hard?
peeeest
Last one was satisfying
maxxra
I have a few of these pens - they dont work all that great.
railgap
Now put some amps through it. I wanna see flames!
TheChaserG
Is it bothering anyone else the way that hand moves?
inkican
I still think it's cool, I still don't understand what you're supposed to do with this.
PGMacDesign
SCIENCE!
rasboras
I'm a engineering/technology teacher and i would use it to introduce the topic to my students. Sooner they get their hands dirty the better
boogertown
Get to the FP
nozerohero
It could be useful for drawing out a PCB board before committing to one.
ADFluffy
Look at this, say "neat", maybe upvote and move on

@OP pretty sure I used something like this to overclock AMD processors around 1999

The First House is a shortcircuit.. it cant Work
squirrle4620
The ink is highly resistive
MattJewDunkin
Maybe the pad the pen passes over isn't one solid pad but seperated from one side from the other
TheZulthar
How so?
shortXA4311
esqueaks
Yep. The leds are in series but each has a short in parallel with it
jenko1080
Unless the ink Is super resistive... Then it's the pen that can barely work
wadeissupercool
The square part on top is disconnected from the circuit, it's just for looks
Nucnat
I think it just makes a parrellel circuit. To rest is in series.
wullu
It would Work in series not in a parallel circuit! There is no resistor parallel to the LEDs.
Nucnat
Do LEDs not serve as their own resistors?
wullu
No. They Need a resistor in series to Limit The current.
HoneyBadgerDoesNotGiveASingleFuck
The trick is the small white stripe in the middle of the tape between the electrods, it seems to prevent the ink from sticking to it.

can you explain all of this to me like i am 10 and mentally retarded? because i am not seeing what either of you meant.
CrapsMcgee
The pen writes in metal. They made a flashlight on paper.

It looks like a house, but really there are tiny tiny circuits at all the junction points that make the arrangement of lights turn on
BearForceTwo
i got that part but why is it a short circuit and unable to work according to the first guy? and i understood nothing the 2nd guy said.
Emriys
Angry pixies take the way of lowest resistance, they'd just ignore the lamp and "go the easy way" along the path instead of through lamps
vegivamp
...just has metallic ink. The rest is merely creative origami with glued-on components.
icelandicsealbear
It must have a very high resistance if you can put it across both leads. Honestly I don't understand their circuit.
kidwest84
Don't ruin this for us simple folk!
franknsteine
Ackuhally.....
Glittershock
Merely...still cool as hell!
nolittleplans
Sometimes things with simple arrangements can still be interesting. Intelligence is appreciating even the small things that can inspire big.

Stop being a muggle and believe in magic harry
vegivamp
It's not magic, it's just creative use of thaumions. *hides*
ackackackackackackackackackackackackackackack
"Vegivamp" i love it
Displicentlickeroflittlethings
Yes, just...
Carnot
The tree LEDs have wires clearly visible, the house may have it on the underside, so it may just be a standard marker and timing.
vegivamp
Honestly, that would be almost more of a bother than actually using conductive ink :-)

Turbothundercunt
NO
mheurtevent1
The possible applications for this are still pretty dope
LeumisRichardson
Yup. TSA X-ray techs hate it. ; )
vegivamp
Isn't "techs" a bit of a big word for those buttonmashers?
LeumisRichardson
lol
NightfallEverdark
Merely. Methinks you are under utilizing your sense of wonder.
vegivamp
Oh, it's working perfectly fine, it's just that the analytical bit is running in parallel.
NightfallEverdark
Wouldn't that imply you are getting the same wattage out at the far end, but only running half the current through both?
vegivamp
Any decent power supply doesn't just provide all-or-nothing...
Anlysia
Screen printing circuits onto flexible plastic with this sort of ink has been a way of making ribbon cables for a long-ass time.
vegivamp
I think ribbon cables are solid copper, though. Not entirely sure about the process used.
Anlysia
I'm probably using the wrong word, but we make them at my work. You print conductive ink onto plastic to make flexible conductive traces.
vegivamp
Ooh, nifty. Sounds like stuff for wearables?
Anlysia
A lot of it is for things like circuits attached to polycarbonate faceplates, like you'd have on an oven or in a fridge.
TheNoirAntagonist
Funny thing is you can do this same thing with graphite it just has a habit of getting kind of hot
vegivamp
Well, then it should take of all it's clothes.
ThouHastNoPizza
So if I draw a sold line on paper with a pencil, I can do the same? Granted higher voltage and heat watching would be necessary?
Xychotherapist
Yes, although it works better with actual graphite (find an art shop) than pencil lead, which has a bunch of other stuff in it.
TheNoirAntagonist
Graphite is a good conductor but pencil led has other bits to it you can make a circuit with a pencil but the wood burns up because 1/2
TheNoirAntagonist
Of all the resistance that generates lots of heat
