Part 7/9:
The experiment rapidly turns into a failure — the coil deforms, the windings come loose, and the metal ball is jostled chaotically. His immediate conclusion is that the coil, crafted with thin enamel-coated wire and glued in a haphazard manner, is unsuitable for such high-energy tests.
He humorously reflects on the mishap, criticizing his choice of materials and winding techniques. He suggests that thicker wire and more meticulously arranged windings are necessary for a stable, functional spherical coil capable of withstanding electrical stress. His humorous self-deprecation highlights the trial-and-error nature of experimental invention.
