[QUOTE="fools_gold, post: 781394, member: 20669"]Yeah, they were basically explaining how it works. So if you had a pure 400 oz gold bar. The gold is the best conductor of electricity right? Well whether it is or isn't, it has a specific reading like a fingerprint. So when you hook it up to the oscilloscope, the current runs through the entire bar and now you have that baseline reading to be used against other bars. With tungsten being in the middle, you now get a different reading because the current goes through a much smaller amount of gold. So it really doesn't matter if it's tungsten or any other metal inside, the lesser amount of gold in the current reading is a giveaway that it's not pure.... I HOPE I got it right. My friends an EE who plays with one at home all the time. So I'll send him a quick email to see if what I said above is correct.[/QUOTE]
