[Jewelry making - Article 00790] - Re: [Orchid] Metal Shrunk by Powerful Magnetic Field?

    On a slightly different tack, I notice that there is some confusing
    terminology associated with some of the sources found on the
    internet and people's postings (including my first post on the
    subject). 

    People talk about high voltage electricity (and I wrongly used the
    term myself) being a killer, but it's really the current with which
    that voltage flows that is the killer. Also I noticed that articles
    mentioned "high power" with regard to the coin shrinkage method, but
    power is to do with watts as in a light bulb and power is measured
    in watts. This is wrong as the equipment uses high current to push
    high voltage - not high power. 

    As I said before, I don't really do physics and I may still have got
    something wrong and I'm sure someone will correct me if that's the
    case, but there is some confusing terminology written on the
    subject.
