Part 3/7:
A recurring theme in Paul’s experiments is the extreme sensitivity of the voltage to minute positional adjustments. He describes shifting a copper component "just a hair," which causes the voltage to fluctuate dramatically—sometimes dropping rapidly or jumping back up. This observation underscores the importance of maintaining precise proximity and alignment of the copper within the setup.
Paul notes that keeping the copper close to the coil wall is crucial. Interestingly, when he experiments with winding a thin copper sheet into a coil or trying a copper pipe, these configurations may influence the system’s behavior. He contemplates different arrangements to see how they affect voltage stability and magnitude, indicating a trial-and-error approach rooted in empirical testing.
