Part 5/9:
He hopes to observe whether these objects can levitate or respond in unusual ways when subjected to the magnetic fields generated inside the spherical coil. Such experiments could have implications for advanced electromagnetic designs, levitation technology, or novel energy storage concepts.
The Challenge of Coil Removal and Safety Concerns
A significant hurdle arises when attempting to extract the coil from its bulb housing. Paul discusses various methods, including immersing the bulb in boiling water followed by ice water, to safely break the glass without creating dangerous debris or endangering safety. He admits that breaking the bulb is tricky, especially with glass fragments potentially contaminating his workspace.
