Nature's Stylus! - The Carrot by RobinHez(m): 8:33pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
Today I was at my study table, and there were some carrots closeby (don't ask me how they got there...) With the way they were looking, I decided to take one in my hand and it felt comfortable like a pen, my phone was in the other hand and in unwitting fashion, I tried using the carrot as a stylus and BAM! It worked flawlessly. So I logged on the Internet to find out what was going on, and I'll like to share some interesting things I learnt in the process. First, we must know that there are two major categories of touchscreen displays: the RESISTIVE touchscreen display and the CAPACITIVE touchscreen display. Most phones in the world make use of the latter category. A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of some layers, two of which are of importance to this article. It consists of a Conductive layer which stores electric charges uniformly across the panel and on top of that, we have an insulated layer (like glass) which does not allow the free flow of electricity. What happens when we touch the screen is that we've created a distortion in the electric field of the screen, and so, instead of the electric charges in the capacitive layer to keep flowing in uniformity, they begin to flow towards the point were we placed our touch. So that if we slide our fingers across the screen, the electrons in that path would move along in attraction to the finger. All these processes are being monitored by a processor which can read and record the point[s] were the distortions were created. (Here's a YouTube video that'll explain the whole touchscreen process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzLoWDkBKXk ) How all these grammar take concern Carrot? LOL... Our body is able to control the touchscreen because it is a conductor of electric charges.

This is due to the presence of Potassium in the vegetable. - The element Potassium is a metal, and metals are good conductors of electricity due to their valency. You don't believe me? go ahead and try it out! Nature's Stylus! Blogged@ http://edscienceblog..com/2016/03/nature-stylus-carrot.html 9 Likes 8 Shares

Oh my God . . . This is actually very brilliant. Discoveries like this are usually made by really advanced professors in foreign universities. cc Dekatron, SirWere, Johnydon22 I do believe we have a Becquerel in development here.. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Wow wow wow. No need buying stylus for this useless phone again. Lemme go get carrot, and I hope abokis won't increase the price after this your discovery, Op, I hope this makes fp, maybe you should change the thread topic to ' A nairalander discovers another use for carrot' 5 Likes |

bqlekan: Lol.. Using a carrot should be like a last resort tho.... Don't ask me why. OK I'll say why.... It might make u look stupid! Op, I hope this makes fp, maybe you should change the thread topic to ' A nairalander discovers another use for carrot'I also wish it did. I hoped that Nairaland would be the best place to talk on what I discovered, but sadly, Lalasticlala doesn't want to even view the thread. 2 Likes |

With the way things are going hope the price of carrot won't inflate in the market? Hope we won't start hearing stories like "scarcity of carrot". Lalasticlala pls undo the needful. Nice discovery though. Let me go and grab my own <del> stylus </del> carrot 1 Like |

What is happening here. Simone break it down for me. Is it that we should be using carrots to operate our phones? |
Re: Nature's Stylus! - The Carrot by Nobody: 10:11pm On Mar 12, 2016 |
RobinHez:hmmn, I have a window app here which converts handwriting to text. I've not been able to use it for obvious reasons. maybe a carrot might help? if it does, that would certainly have interesting applications for our carrots worldwide. |

ndcide:Nah, man. It was recently discovered here that carrots have the same ability that fingers do, when it comes to touchscreens. This is a very interesting concept in science. when you find something that seems to be unrelated to another thing, and you find a relationship between them. as carrots have been found to fool touchscreens, we can investigate the behaviour of all vegetables in general and in short, study them and their effects on capacitive touchscreens. possible applications of this would be a small handheld machine that measures the amount of minerals food have, or more cheaper styluses, and more. even if there are no immediate applications, discoveries like this gives many scientists orgasms. RobinHez:hehehe. I'd do it in secret then. 4 Likes 3 Shares |
