A machine with the properties proposed has existed for decades, creating 
great puzzles and legends all its own.
Use Google and look up "Testatika". At a forum at Temple University some 
years ago, I talked to a lecturer who had actually seen the device and 
watched it operate. reportedly it self-ran, once started, and lit a 300 W 
incandescent lamp.

With an IPO that raised say $10 billion (which alone

Has there ever been an IPO of that magnitude?

Yes.  Biggest one I found in a quick Google search was $19 billion, by 
Industrial & Commercial Bank of China.  See:

There have been other "monster IPOs" as well.  However, the really big 
ones are typically either for long-established companies that have been 
going concerns for a long, long time, but just had never gone public, or 
they're for spinoffs which were wholly owned subsidiaries of larger 
companies until the IPO.

For a new company with little income and a few dozen employees the numbers 
are normally much, much smaller.
