Part 5/9:
A particular experiment involved adding an extra antenna wire connecting the two circuits, aiming to see if that would boost voltage. Initially, results seemed promising, but subsequent measurements showed voltage dropping when the antenna was touched or grounded, highlighting the fragility of the system and the interference caused by physical contact or environmental factors.
Frustrations and Realizations
Throughout, the experimenter conveys a mix of curiosity and frustration, describing how modifications often lead to inconsistent results—sometimes working, sometimes not. The changing weather and drop in ambient temperature are noted as potential environmental influences that could affect the experiment, especially as snow approaches, signaling the need to halt work for the season.
