    Wow! Cool! Amazing!

    BTW, did any of you hear that Webster is taking the word 'gullible' out of the dictionary?

      CabinetMan,

      Send me 50 thousand dollar right away so I can get a bunch of candles and nails, etc. Then you and I will make millions of this simple but workable voltage generator!
      BTW, go ahead and mortage your home and send me all you can get. That way we'll make more money!!

              You would think that he would at least have enlisted the help of someone to "flip the switch" off-camera, instead of putting his hand under table each time something magically turns on.

                Cracker, I noticed that too. Just a bit obvious there.

                  I was thinking the same thing - if he could actuate the switch with his foot, or had a helper it would have been much more convincing.

                    What do you need for that...bigger candles, bigger nails, or bigger magnets? Maybe all three? Do you recommend #12 ga wire.

                      What you need to use is that Monster speaker wire..... and of course, rare earth magnets.

                        I also found that I can get decent results if I ditch the magnet, lighter, nails, and candles altogether and just use a battery in their place. Who'da thunk.
