this reminds me of a circus sideshow...if the machine really does what the
`inventor' claims, why not cook a meal in a microwave oven, or power up a
color TV?

if this is true, how about a measurement of the weight of the copper after
a test of some duration?  There should be quite measurable changes in weight.

oh gee, must be the government is involved in another conspiracy with the
oil companies to deprive us of cheap energy.
