Part 3/6:
The belt itself spans a distance of 4 feet from the bottom to the top roller, with a 6-inch separation from bottom to top. Precise measurements and custom modifications highlight Paul’s meticulous approach to design.
Electrical Components and Grounding
Paul’s generator employs minimal grounding—only a single braided strip connected to a grounded plate. This simplicity is typical for experimental high-voltage setups but requires careful handling to ensure safety and stability.
Regarding the high-voltage output, Paul mentions that sometimes the device produces sparks up to an inch long, enough to give a mild shock—indicative of the high-energy potential stored and transferred within the system.
