Default Re: Response to Sklansky\'s article \"Chips Changing Value in Tournament

This reminds me of the time that electronics college graduate invented a perpetual machine. He then sold his book (at expensive value), which was more about everything you can use your perpetual machine for, but not really on how it works in detail.

Oh he did manage to get a patent in two states (hard to do when it defies thermodynamics). Though it was discovered through tests the extra ENERGY created was due to false readings of the measuring tools, due to rapid spikes of the current.

Whether he fooled himself into believing he defied the laws of physics, or set this up as a scam is a good question.

Anyhow…. Carry on, this is interesting.
