TimZ Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Just stumbled over this... http://205.243.100.155/frames/shrinker.html I'm thinking blueovalz will appreciate this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RCNSC Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Wow a real shrinking machine!!! Wonder if it works on cars! :) Always wanted a 1/2 scale 240Z! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Think that guy has a girl friend? How you you like to live next door to the guy with his own EMP machine? TV reception must be a beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 Here is a better link: http://205.243.100.155/frames/shrinkergallery.html They mention that the magnetic field is strong enough to erase your credit cards if you are standing anywhere near it...

Guest 2slo4u Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I wonder if those guys could build an ignition coil for our z's. Ha Ha..... 81xturbo 95slobaru impreza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 There is an easier way. If you want to see how small a quarter/dollar can actually get just go to your local Nissan dealer and price anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goldraven Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 that is amazing. science is awesome, even if you arent a geek! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Isn't doing that to United States currency against Federal Law? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RCNSC Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 My parents used to tell me that anyway... I think it was more to keep me away from train tacks but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustrocket Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I would hate to pay their power bill! those cupped/balled quarters were kinda cool though.

Who needs a girlfriend when you can play with 1 million amperes and shrink quarters all day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dot Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Is that all it does? Those Tesla guys make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hmm, I love the line in their "how it works section" But it still retains all its surface features! Higher energies result in smaller quarters. There’s no magic or violations of physics involved – a shrunken coin still weighs same as before, and its density also remainsunchanged. So if it shrinks and it weighs the same, how they hell does the density stay the same? If that isn't a violation of physics I am not sure what is.

MTenneZ Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Check out some of the links at the bottom. Especially the "More arcs and sparks" and watch some of those videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that isn't a violation of physics I am not sure what is. here ya go: A shrunken coin weighs exactly the same as before, and its density is also unchanged. The coin does get thicker as its diameter is reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop N Wood Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Isn't doing that to United States currency against Federal Law? Read the whole site. He talks about that. Apparently the law only prohibits "fraudulently" defacing money. As in trying to pass it off as something else. He says even the feds have to admit it isn't illegal. Even talks about the penny smashing machines being legal. Also it only gets smaller in diameter, but it gets thicker. Hence the density is the same because the volume is the same.

Drax240z Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Ah yes, not "shrunk" per se, but "re-formed". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 This "shrinking" process is something to watch. One of my Tesla buddies made a quarter shrinker as well as a can crusher (uses same principle). In his set-up, the coil he used to produce the intense magnetic field around the "subject" pretty much vaporizes when the huge current discharge passes through it, and it doesn't explode quietly. He had to put all this stuff in a bullet proof box, and even then it was quite un-nerving to be in the same room when he threw the switch. Now he's working on a rail-gun (repulsion) project. So far he's slung a 6" copper disc about 50 ft into the air. Amazing stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would you guess the 6" copper disc weighed? A pound or two? !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
