How if you try to block that "aether flux inflow" by some way ?

Don't forget the 10 second initial time.

Seems to be sinusoidal, which implies some type of LC resonance.

Maybe the HV source is electronic generated, powered by te 120VAC output.

What is the minimum setup for experiment with the Casimir effect ?
Wouldn't I use printed circuit boards for that ?
