Part 5/9:
The positioning of the coil is crucial. The experimenter notes that the coil should be kept straight—his current setup has it slightly crooked—and that the coil should be mounted towards one side of the rod rather than the center for better results. These small positional tweaks can influence the efficiency of energy transfer.
“It's also important to have your coil straight. Mine's a little crooked; I gotta fix that yet. And have the rod all the way to one side, not directly in the center.”
Further experimentation involves raising the coil higher on the support structure to observe the effect on voltage. As the coil's height increases, the voltage readings fluctuate and seem to peak, indicating an optimal height.
