Part 6/8:
The experiment then involved inserting a copper rod into the coil setup, which initially elevated the voltage to about 101.768 volts. However, as the rod was immersed deeper into the coil area, the voltage unexpectedly dropped. This anomaly led to suspicion that something was affecting the readings, most likely a loose connection or a contact issue, which was confirmed when a clip loosened. After fixing the connection, the readings stabilized, but the incident underscored the sensitivity of the system to contact quality and configuration.
