Hmmmmmmm.........hhhmmmmmmmm........  I admit being somewhat ignorant of electrictiy, but can you imagine the farad rating of a 165 lb capacitor? And, whether AC or DC, a million amps going through a coin would surely vaporize it into the "Twilight Zone" in about a nanosecond.  Sorry for being naturally skeptical, but I detect the faint odor of.....well.....mule muffins. (Guillermo, ¿como se dicé en Inglés: mierda de toro?). It'd be neat if this thing is for real. And I HAVE been wrong before!  Marc |

If it could turn a dime into a quarter I'd spend whatever it takes to buy the prototype, then destroy the plans and all other evidence!!  Marc |

GilaMarc,
Its a true machine, you can send him a coin (put your initials on it and you will get the same coin back...Electricity is a powerful thing....it is still the same weight and density its just smaller and fatter.

What a machine...I believe the story. Why would anyone want to ruin a St. Gauden's 20 Dollar Goldpiece?  Takes all kinds. Thanks for the post...Interesting. HH, MT |

Well, I'll be horn swoggled!!  I stand corrected, as usual. Wonder what else it can shrink? I'm waiting for the machine that can make gold ten times BIGGER, with the same density and ten times the weight.  Marc |
