how much does it cost to make something like this?

and if i were to run a magnet over the strip an erase all the data, would it still make a sound????

just because people use the words “pencil lead” does not mean that it is lead, “pencil lead” is in reference to graphite, and this is common knowledge. The only time you should state that “pencil lead” is not lead is when they complain about lead poisoning from when their friend poked them with a pencil.
now that i am done with that, i got lost about 5 words in, perhaps someone could post a how-to?

Wow. I use Reason, and just watching this makes me really want to do this myself. Anyway, I don't know much about electronic schematics and whatnot, so if anyone would like to help me a bit, either by explaining how it's assembled or maybe an even easier alternative (same concept), then please, send me an email:

If pencils were lead, it wouldn’t be all that great a resistor
Graphite in pencils is actually a resister. try it out yourself!

Pencils use graphite not lead.

I’d assume he’s at low voltage and current, thus not enough heating to randomize the domains and not enough magnetic fields to zero the card.

If only IL had Magnetic strips on Drivers Licenses. Would that be bad for the Magnetic strip though?

I wouldn’t do that with one of my current credit cards, but anything old or expired is ruinable. The drivers license risk may depend on where you live. I’ve never had mine in a mag stripe reader.

First Post
Thats really cool… but it cant be good for the mag strip on his drivers license.
