Re: Induced Currents?
Well, I tried the bulb outside. I placed some solid copper
wire down about 10 inches into some frozen soil and connect
the bulb to it. My son watched the bulb outside while I ran
the coil in the garage. No light. The bulb didn't do
anything. I then hooked it back up to the RF ground wire as
mentioned before and it lit again - no problem. Maybe the
problem here is the frozen tundra of MN.
