Part 3/6:
Paul employs a simple household power supply—120 volts, 60 Hz AC—to energize the coil. He emphasizes the straightforward nature of the setup to make the experiment accessible and reproducible:
The coil is connected to the power supply.
All components are arranged to ensure safety and clarity.
Before powering it, the scale shows the total weight of 10 pounds, including the aluminum, water, and coil.
Once everything is in place and the system is turned on, Paul notes that the weight on the scale remains constant at 10 pounds. Even with the electromagnetic field active, the scale does not show a decrease in weight.
