wasn't it already established that the force measured was related to current in the power cables or something?


Yea I definitely remember that being discussed previously. Basically the amount of current in the wires was large enough to cause deflections that that particular group did not have a good way to account for so my recollection was they mentioned it as a likely source of the displacement. I was sort of hoping somebody would hook this thing up on top of an air table and power it with a huge battery so it’s a fully closed / stand alone system and see if the setup starts drifting one direction when it turns on.


It's an important step to fix the observed flaw and then experimentally verify results are now as expected.
