OK here is what you need to do in order to maybe show a profit. You will need some basic hardware and household appliances. First you will need a blender but a really, really large blender. I would guess with a capacity of 25 US Gallon or 100 Liters or so. You will also need a super sized washing machine, as in industrial strength and for real heavy loads. Really, really heavy. Next a truck load of Mercury. Mercury is your new best money making friend. Oh yeah a small work of caution:
Don't worry about the California part as California finds everything harmful, so no big deal on that note. Reproductive harm is no big deal. Hell a vasectomy is reproductive harm.
Mow toss a pile of boards, all sorts of old printed circuit boards with the gold and silver into the giant blender and blend well at medium speed. Uh, you may want to wear a respirator and if none available just hold your breath. Bust up the boards laden with gold and silver real good.
Now dump the pices and parts from the blender into the washing machine but... here is the trick. Do not use water. Just machine wash (on regular) using the mercury for water. The spin cycle should be fun. Now the mercury has all the gold and silver in it.
Keep holding your breath.
You now have Amalgam so I hope you didn't let all the mercury go down the drain following the wash and spin cycles.
Now build a big fire so we can distill the mercury and get our gold and silver:
The most helpful and informative quotes were
taken from here.
This is a simple fun kitchen table project that can make you very wealthy. It may have some side health effects. The nice part is once you distill the mercury you can use it again and again, pretty cool huh?
