Part 7/9:
The setup involves an antenna passing down into the coil area, supported by a tension wire. The experimenter emphasizes that this wire is purely mechanical support—no electrical connection—highlighting careful control over the circuit's parameters.
“While we're waiting for the meter to build up here, this yellow wire is just keeping things taut. That's not an electrical connection to the antenna. The electrical connection is down here.”
The coil is positioned between the antenna and the circuit, with the circuit itself described as a jewel thief, which is not actively connected at this stage. The coil's bottom connects to the circuit, and the entire system is grounded via a black ground wire.
