    If this man can use his limited resources, talent, and his enthusiasm, with the little he has, imagine how far he can go if given support...

    to be honest silver conducts better than copper however since copper is cheaper he made a good choice for hes mineral. the only thing i would change is the conductor. im only 14 and i can't do that without all the materials prepared before hand.

    Kids in not just in America are more concerned on getting the most headshots on call of duty and instead giving kids like these sponsorship we give people like Nadeshot (I just googled gamers and he came up) to sit on there ass and play video games We're are making our world worse by taking these types of decisions

    funny how we call people prodigies for simply learning about things. Shows what the mass of humanity have to show for themselves.

    This guy is nothing compared to me. I made a battery at age 1 month, but was then drafted to go to Vietnam to shoot a machine gun from a helicopter. You know the film Rambo? That was based on my life story.
