How To Make A Free Capacitive Stylus

For more info: http://bit.ly/9zjssq In this video we demonstrate our latest discover of how to create a capacitive stylus from little more than a scrap of anti-static protective film from a hard drive I just bought. The stylus works suprisingly well either in your hands or while wearing gloves.

Are you sure you're not, by holding the film with your hand, transferring the minute amount of electricity the screen needs to respond from your hand, through the film, to the screen? Even when you used the pen, you held it with your electrified hand. Just a thought, feel free to prove me wrong :-p

Try it yourself. It really works. Trust me I played around awhile before I posted it. And the pen is plastic, a non-conductive material.

will it scratch the screen? cause the edges look sharp?

[pocketnowvideo]

Nope, it is softer than a regular stylus also try out your own ideas using the film and post on Pocketnow with your findings.

Wrap it around wood or a pencil/pen which they already market as a stylus! cool thanks

Try to use that with gloves. Your stylus just transfers the electricity from your hand to the screen.. I think so. I tried this with a battery, and it worked.. until I tried it with a glove.

it's actually made from a pen! watch?v=nTeFWfmXZX4

it doesnt create its own electricity.and for all those idiots who think that its a plastic,think again,have a multimeter?test it out.they have a thin layer of conductor.if thatr conductor wouldnt have been there,static electricity could get stored in that plastic...

[winpaduser]

thanks,i will try it later

[ouychiat]

It really works. Just tried it. I was thinking about buying a stylus for my ipod. After seeing this video i tried it from the static plastic I got from fixing a friend's pc. THANKS pocketnowvideo.
