THE PROCESS OF A BALL POINT PEN’S WRITING AND ALTERNATIVE USES OF THE PEN .

**A ball point pen is a pen that has a small rotating ball at the tip which is generally made of brass, steel, or tungsten carbide to disperse ink as you write. . As the pen moves across the paper, the ball turns and with the help of the gravity forces the ink comes down the reservoir and onto the ball where it is transferred onto the paper and makes the writing possible .Due to the rolling mechanism the ink flows onto the top of the ball and roll onto the paper you’re writing on, while at the same time sealing the ink from the air so it does not dry in the reservoir.**[1]

**1) We can insert small screws, pins or other very small but important things inside the pen and take them easily anywhere by keeping the pen in the pocket.**

**2) We can clean the dust in a narrow place with the help of a pen and if something gets in, we can remove it. In this case, the narrower the refill of the pen, the better the cleaning .**

**3) We can pierce something with the help of a pen or refill and the smaller the mouth of the pen, the more pressure will be applied because the pressure is the force exerted on unit area. The same thing applies with refills.**

**4) We can roll 10,50,100 ,500 rupees note (money) and put them inside the pen and if we keep it in the pocket.We should roll the notes in a way so that the diameter of the cylinder (made by rolling the notes )is less than the diameter of the pen .Only a single note can be inserted at a time .**

**5) If we want someone to write a massage on a piece of paper and want to give to the right person secretly or want to take a piece of paper with important information somewhere, we can put the paper in the pen.**

• *These are just two or three uses.There are many different ways also to use a pen rather than writing ..Here i give only three which seems to be important to us ..**
