  • @AHW214 Wrong and wrong. The coins and bills are property of the federal government, to destroy a penny is to destroy property of the federal government. And a length of wire with the same mass as a disk of copper will have a greater surface area. Do the math and if you come up with something different the you did it wrong.

  • @dataq0111

    If you don't think using a penny is appropriate I'm not going to argue, but for best results use copper sheet metal or foil instead of wire, and yes, I know if you bundle the wire or use a very long wire you could achieve a similar surface area.

  • this system it is possible to take out rust of piece metal ? thaks again.

  • @sadllebronc

    I'm pretty sure you can remove rust with vinegar and salt or lemon juice but if you want to do it through electrolysis; youtube.com/watch?v=R5I5WBG5HP­w

  • what happens if the two penny to touch or put your finger inside the glass , some risk of shock or short .. thanks .

  • @sadllebronc

    Definitely don't put your finger inside the glass while both electrodes are in and the power source is on, you will be electrocuted. If the two pennies touch it may produce a spark depending on the amperage/voltage.

  • @dataq0111 that is what these people are instinctively trying to warn you about. that is why they challenge your responses. they end. you.

  • @dataq0111 right. you are. right.  you did a great job at sounding like a proud person. I'll admit, you may have the answers now, but I see something far darker in your future, that you might not. Beware of the power of your words.

  • @dataq0111 if its such a crime then why are you allowed to put a penny along with 50 cents into a machine at any stupid tourist trap and have it stretched and stamped (permanently defaced.) dont you think the company who makes the machines or the store owners who have them would get in big trouble if it were illegal....

  • just a tip. You're negative lead will corrode and your posative lead will be anodized if they are submerged in the water. keep the alligator leads out of the water, use a wire clipped to the leads.

  • @dataq0111 No, sorry you are wrong... U.S. Code Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331 prohibits "the mutilation, diminution and falsification of United States coinage." The foregoing statute, however, does not prohibit the mutilation of coins, if the mutilated coins are not used fraudulently, i.e., with the intention of creating counterfeit coinage or profiting from the base metal.
