Part 4/7:
In a further attempt, the circuit is bypassed by plugging directly into the Variac, testing whether the problem stems from connection issues. The setup also includes a ground wire—a red wire going down to a grounded pipe—aiming to establish proper grounding for safety and performance.
Troubleshooting and Frustrations
Between each step, the inventor reports on the lack of success: the TV remains unresponsive, clicking on and off, perhaps due to improper grounding or a misconfiguration. The scene encapsulates the trial-and-error nature of experimental physics and electronics, showcasing persistence despite repeated failures.
