Minimizer

Laws of physics? I am not familiar with any such laws.

The Minimizer is a real-life shrink ray! It can reduce objects in size so they can be easily transported around, and restore them to their normal size later. It's Doc Greene's favorite invention of the last decade.

The Minimizer was one of the exhibits in the Hall of Inspiration. Doc Greene demonstrated it by shrinking a shopping trolly which he'd pushed towards Mrs Neederlander, and then returning the trolly to normal size. The device was of interest to local criminals Evan and Myles, who broke into the museum that night to steal it. The Burns family and their Rescue Bots attended the break-out, and in the process of capturing the pair, Heatwave, Blades and Boulder were shrunk. As no one was familiar with the device and the two thieves weren't talking, the damaged Minimizer was put in the evidence locker.

Chase eventually showed Cody Burns a picture of the Minimizer, and he recognized it. Doc Greene was soon able to get it into some semblance of working order, and Cody used it to shrink a minivan that was blocking one of the overflow channels of Griffin Rock dam. It was also successful in returning the three shrunken Rescue Bots to their normal size. Small Blessings
