How to quickly and free make a stylus for a capacitive screen

A week ago, I bought a new hard drive, and while I was installing it into my computer, I found that the antistatic protective film touched the touch screen of my HTC HD2. The following idea occurred to me.



In this video, I will show how to get a stylus for a capacitive screen almost for free with a regular sheet of antistatic film. It is known that capacitive screens use electrical impulses generated by the human body to detect the point of pressure on the screen *. The only problem is if you are wearing gloves or you need to do an exact push, capacitive screens will most likely not work. Most likely, every technically advanced person (geek) has a piece of antistatic film. Just cut the film to the desired length, twist, and (if you want), glue the end of the film with adhesive tape so that the film does not unwind.



For this stylus, I used a gray film that looks like foil. I have not tried a patterned or pink film yet. If you succeed, let the author know.

* (approx. transl.) In my opinion exactly the opposite. The capacitive screen controller monitors the leakage current. When you touch your hand (which, by the way, is grounded), a current leakage occurs and the controller positions the point of depression. [ proof ]
