    Debugging a Kelvin Water Dropper

    Here is the annoying machine : I'll just detail certain parts that I'm sure you're going to comment about ! * The inductors aren't touching the wood, there's some insulating foam (about $7mm$ in width once squished) * The water stream breaks into droplets at about half of the inductor * The...
