Everyone is disappointed that it’s just thin plastic being stretched over a pre-shaped pen shaft, and not shape shifting metal, but the fact that they were able to so effectively deceive everyone is impressive in its own.
Actually, a metallic sheet material called Mylar bends pretty similarly to the design on the pen. My guess is that the plastic is just a guide for the sheet to bend perfectly into the grooves.

To be fair, if I was attacking someone and saw them pull out this pen from their pocket I'd probably get very distracted by it and be very vulnerable while playing with it
I mean, most PhDs are like this anyway, extremely narrow subject that has probably limited uses but it's very deep. The value comes from being able to make such a deep and complex work.
It’s important for anywhere that hollow or lightweight supports are needed, such as buildings, aircraft, spacecraft, and underwater pipes. It’s difficult to design something precisely if you don’t know when or how it will start to collapse and fold.
This makes up for the disappointment felt at the end when he expected it to be a lot more complicated, who is the guy who created that pen so I may see his other works?
He probably just drop ships, although he claims he invented it....a similar pen was sold when I was a kid so I know for sure he didn't invent the idea at least.
The pen mechanic: To crush: Easy. It just pushes the pen cover/outer layer with [so much] force that it crushes or crumples the layer. The straightening/ uncrushing: Super duper easy! Even easier than the crushing! It just pulls it with force So that it gets straightened!

I did an aerospace engineering degree and this is the principal of buckling of a thin walled cylinder, however the reason there is the plastic profile below is to support the buckled shape. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to hold the pen without deforming the pattern. Our Structures lecturer was so happy to show us this pen and talk about the principal behind it!
It has an outer plastic shell, which would support the structure of the pen and allow it to be held. Aerospace engineering degree sounds like it’s really paying off.
@@BeforeThisNovember have this exact same pen, there is no outer shell. You hold it by the crinkled middle section which is supported by the molded plastic cylinder underneath.
The stuff is Mylar -- polyester sheet with a very thin layer of aluminium. The same thing they use for packets of crisps/potato chips (the inside of packets are mirrored!)
So it's just wedging the two pieces on the inside together when you slide the "button" down. Expanding the inside from the opposing vertical slants where the two center pieces come in contact in the middle.
Thank you! This is exactly the type of detailed explanation I was expecting to hear in the actual video! (So disappointed to not get any explanation there.)
@@aliveandwell3958 I searched the internet and someone on Reddit said that there is a loose sheet of metallic plastic over a stiff material with holes designed in it. When the pen is clicked, there is a suction applied to the foil that makes it “grip” and accept the shape of the stiff material with the holes in it. That was probably confusing 😶
I was expecting the shiny outside to be a thin metal sheet with scores on the inside so when crushed it crumpled in a predictable and predefined way, like how if you fold a piece of paper and make a crease, it will then fold along that crease very easily.
@@Pabloesc571 Well, it’s clearly not just store bought aluminum foil. Look at the way it returns to its original smoothness with no creases or blemishes at all. The metallic finish is most likely a mylar coating which is pasted atop a thin sheet of polyester, resulting in the finished tube when rolled.
When I first saw this pen, I immediately thought of the video of the steel pipe being crushed. I thought it was so cool that they managed to manipulate the repeating pattern and change its formation. Then I saw a video where they opened it, and I was very disappointed when it turned out to just be a piece of plastic pushing against another price of plastic WITH THE PATTERN PRE-MADE. It wasn’t even real metal.
I believe I got one of these from those ridiculous school fundraisers in elementary school after selling chocolate bars or something. I'm so glad I never decided to open it to see how it worked back then the way I did with other things, such as my VCR(s) and whatnot. I would've been really disappointed.
Referring to the crushing at the end, a similar effect occurs in fluid mechanics. From Rayleigh plateau instability to periodic bulging of contact lines during inkjet printing. In the case of fluids, this is almost completely dictated by surface tension. For solids, I imagine it has something to do with the play between lateral and normal stresses.
Except that this contraption is not designed to last very long, as is with other products like it sold today. If they improve on it with tougher materials then it's commendable.
the crushing of thin-walled tubes reminds me, I think it was on PBS, but I saw a special once about this artist who would crush cans by hand so they look like what that tube looks like. they looked pretty nice actually
Probably something similar to the food packaging made with aluminum foil bonded to plastic film. It's just that the plastic film is a little bit thicker in this case, like one of those clear folders you put reports in.
Mylar is just plastic film. It frequently has a metallic coating, but that's not a requirement for it to be mylar. Also, the metal coating is via vapor deposition, not like a separate foil glued on somehow.
@@wbfaulk I worked in a place that printed food packaging. Those mylar looking chip and cookie bags are definitely aluminum foil bonded to plastic film. You glue them together, and the end product takes on properties of both. So that's what I meant, a product similar to mylar but not mylar itself.
This is still a fantastic way to understand elastic deformation and the yield strength, the cylinder and the material is acted upon by a force which moves it up and down the stress strain profile

"it reminds me when I crushe-" dude didn't even finish and my mind went it so many horribly hilarious places. thanks Markiplier - 😭😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh this is THE comment I was looking for, thank you 😂
the crushing of thin-walled tubes reminds me, I think it was on PBS, but I saw a special once about this artist who would crush cans by hand so they look like what that tube looks like. they looked pretty nice actually
I think this pen is made by him
@@placeholder3863 that's believable
Unless he's been using this method the whole time and lying.
Bro was disappointed, and I don’t blame him at all 💀
Probably something similar to the food packaging made with aluminum foil bonded to plastic film. It's just that the plastic film is a little bit thicker in this case, like one of those clear folders you put reports in.
Mylar is just plastic film. It frequently has a metallic coating, but that's not a requirement for it to be mylar. Also, the metal coating is via vapor deposition, not like a separate foil glued on somehow.
@@wbfaulk I worked in a place that printed food packaging. Those mylar looking chip and cookie bags are definitely aluminum foil bonded to plastic film. You glue them together, and the end product takes on properties of both.
So that's what I meant, a product similar to mylar but not mylar itself.
@@briebel2684 If that's what you meant, that's not what you said. Restrictive clauses always refer to the noun they're immediately adjacent to.
@@wbfaulk There, I edited it. Are you happy now? JFC.
This is still a fantastic way to understand elastic deformation and the yield strength, the cylinder and the material is acted upon by a force which moves it up and down the stress strain profile
I have one of these pens and when you showed the inside I thought “oh that’s so neat, I want to see that” and unscrewed the cap of mine and broke it 😭😭😭😭😭 im SO SAD
Edit: I fixed it, I’m SO happy
That one guy from Incredibles 2 that cant uncrush would be flabbergasted right now.
I’m glad we all feel crushed and it’s not just me. I wish I could unknow this
Very cool. I would like one 👍
Where can I buy that thing? That's super cool
I feel like hell is actually just this guy reading the encyclopedia 24/7/365.
And you can never sleep.
I love how excited he gets 😊😊😊
I hate i hate how disappointed he gets 😢😢😢
