And the cost has kept me from disassembling my own tablet pen as well, so I was very intrigued to find this picture.

I wouldnt do it to my own pen simply because the darn things cost to much. very cool. I teach science and when we discuss electromagnetism my 'pen' always becomes a part of the conversation. I ask the kids to try and figure out how it works. They always think it has a battery. but they come up with some interesting things. thanks for sharing.
