Wanted to make an April 1 joke, but this may actually work, or will it?

Wanted to make an April 1 joke, but this may actually work, or will it?

The joke was like this: New 1 pin chip makes PCBs redundant, The new 1 pin chips from Motolola do away with complicated printed circuit boards. The new chips have only 1 pin, a small vertical antenna on top, and communicate via a wireless link with each other in the 2 Tera Hertz band. The chips are powered by either an inductive field system as invented by MIT (and Tesla), or by heating the material they are glued on, using the thermal difference between bottom and top to generate a voltage using a Peltier element. Because the chips are so tiny, and packed extremely close together, the RF energy to establish communication is very low. For I/O to the outside a bit more powerful bluetooth like technology is used.

So, anyway, when I had that idea, I though I ought to patent it, but OK, here it is.... could even work.

Too late. We already use lots of 1-pin parts on our schematics.

My mother-in-law, commenting on our marriage, figuring failure, said we should have waited one more day (until April 1 ;-)

Celebrated Anniversary #49 last evening!

Yes, Jim. We got it. Forty-nine years. Did I mention we got it?

For I/O, an outer layer(ers) of 100 or so are used in parallel to get the desired power output.. ..and grounded units would use terra hertz signals...

Doesn't go far enough. Zero pins. Don't need a vertical antenna. Use flat chip base as capacitor with glue to ground plane as dielectric. Flat loop or other aperture antennas. Better yet put antennas top and bottom and forget the board. Just throw them in a glass. Oh wait, that's already been done too. that's the chip the gummint injects in your butt to track you from satellites.

Nahh, I just checked, nothing there.

Er... :-p
