Electricity-Conducting Paint Lets You Paint Switches On Walls

Ғылым және технология

London-based Bare Conductive makes paint that conducts electricity. It's called electric paint and it can be used on a variety of surfaces including paper, plastic, wood, cardboard, or glass.
Electric paint uses carbon to conduct electricity.
"Inside of this liquid, there are lots of small particles of carbon. When the liquid dries, those particles get closer together," Bare Conductive CEO and cofounder Matt Johnson told Business Insider. "When the liquid dries, those particles get closer together over which the electricity can flow."
Electric paint is used with a circuit board which can then be connected to a computer or a switch. The paint acts as a sensor for the device.
Since its launch in 2009, Bare Conductive has sold over 200,000 products and the paint has been at the core of several creative projects, like an interactive wall, a music play table, or a sound mural.

    Say you have a template for a sensor. Say it's a square. Now, take that square and make two of them. Assemble the sensor to your lamp as you would in this video, except you take your other square and place directly over the firstly sensor with some cushion separating the two. Now when you press on it, the two squares will meet and thus complete the circuit. This is essentially the same technology as a regular button.

    Oh a switch that needs constant power to work.... 1) it needs its own constant power to work as switch, so loss of energy, might not be much but it can add up 2) it needs its own IC and probably programming 3) questionable paint longevity. Long story short, they present this as solutions but it is a gimmick after all.
