Part 10/13:
Coil specifications matter: fewer windings with larger diameters and higher current flow tend to produce higher levitation, but heat dissipation becomes a concern.
Resistive heating reduces coil efficiency over time, making thermal management essential.
The optimal coil diameter and winding count depend on the desired application: whether for maximum height, duration, or force exerted.
Future Directions and Experimental Ideas
Paul shares numerous ideas for future experiments, including:
Using multi-layered copper plates with thinner layers for improved levitation.
Experimenting with resonant frequency tuning, varying the oscillation frequency of coils.
