Wireless Laptop Antenna Made from a Pen.

Searching for a way to maximize my wireless signal from my laptop i stumbled across this crazy contraption. Pretty cool omni-directional antenna. A wireless antenna made from a standard ball point pen's casing.

Warning:
"He does not make the antenna from a ballpoint pen. He merely states the it could be "it could be housed inside the tube of an old pen"....

The pen is only the housing and does not contribute to the antenna." thanks pancho
