Remember that Miller welder with a TIG attachment that I bought for$0.99?I sold it on Craigslist. The buyer paid $150 for it, which was a greatdeal for a working welder on a running gear, with a working TIGattachment.The interesting thing is that the buyer is a teenager. (!!!)I delivered and helped him unload. What he told me, then, was that hewas going to convert it to single phase by installing capacitors onthe primary side of the transformer. I immediately gifted him the oil filled run caps that I had. After a couple of weeks, he told me that it works great. What I think, seriously, is that this guy may be the next Tesla. It isnot really a huge accomplishment (just a great one) for a grownup, butfor a teenager, it is pretty tremendous. My stereotype of today's teenagers is that the ony thing they are goodat is using cell phones and twitter. Turns out, that not all peopleare like that.i

Only in France. But if all you have is the visible and the weighable, how do you know? As the saying goes - show me loyalty, show me gravity, show me the unified field thorium.
