Part 2/13:
Paul begins by demonstrating the primary setup: a coil positioned above a water-filled bottle on a metal plate. The bottle acts as a weight and a guide to observe the coil’s levitation without it floating away. The plate utilized initially is a 1/8-inch thick aluminum sheet. Throughout the experiments, he also introduces copper plates and varying coil configurations to gauge their impact on levitation performance.
