Ok guys, I know this isn't exactly pen design, but I invest every so often in companies I find on Kickstarter.com and came across this company that is designing a conductive rollerball silver ink that allows you to create functioning electronic circuits instantly on a piece of paper. This is a great idea for electrical engineers and others that want to doodle a quick circuit to check a principle or design.

This reminded me of something I read years ago for overclocking certain Intel Pentium Celeron CPUs. As I recall it, there was a way to unlock the clock multiplier by tracing a line on the chip between two contacts with a conductive ink. Intel countered by scuffing the top of the chip. The ingenious overclocking crowd found that you could fill in the scuff with CA glue and trace your line.

I don't remember a Celeron that way, but I do remember AMD Duron and Thunderbirds and using a pencil to unlock them. L1 Bridge Connecting | Overclockers
 
Conductive ink has been been around for quite a while. I think you can get it from Digikey. Where I work it is not used at all. We always use 30 gauge insulated wire (wire-wrap wire), and solder.

Last year, I stumbled somewhere into cyberspace and found you can even get print cartridges for direct printing of circuits. :wink:
 
Incredible Product Mike,
Just when you think you have seen all that you can accommodate, along comes another brilliant idea.
Keeps the wheels and cogs upstairs rolling.
Thanks for the post.
Brian.
