Part 2/7:
Initially, the grounding setup consisted of a modest ground rod approximately 10 inches in the ground. Recognizing the limitations of this small grounding point, the presenter introduces a new grounding rod that measures 10 feet in length. This longer rod was driven five feet into the earth using a post driver, significantly improving the grounding potential.
This change is crucial because a better ground enhances the efficiency of the coil system and potentially increases voltage output, which is the primary goal of the experiment.
