Business-Card is a Transistor Amp

Posted March 22, 2010 7:54 AM

From Boing Boing:

Aaron Alai designed this kicking electronic business card, which demonstrates how transistor amplifiers work. When you touch two electrodes on it, a small amount of current is conducted through your body, which is then amplified by a transistor to light an LED. I like the clean design, which is both functional and descriptive of how it works.
