I am honestly wondering the same thing. I mean "impossible" results in labs happen fairly often because of errors made from one thing or another, but I can't think of any possible way that this could be caused. The only thing I can think of was that our signal generator was somehow generating an oscillating magnetic field (which it definitely isn't supposed to do) strong enough to create a current in the wire. But it was only going through the positive end, not the negative end, which doesn't make sense, because that means it was somehow pulling electrons into the wire, but not pushing them back out of it. Which also doesn't make sense because you'd build up a charge and all kinds of crazy electrostatic things would start to happen, but they didn't.
Tesla worked on wireless electricity just before he died. Crazy electrostatic things doesn't necessaily have to happen if it directed by something. Maybe you guys are right on top of one of the earth magnetic laylines that caused the electromagnetism to flow in a specific direction causing a current? Ever thought about that?
Or maybe you have a highly inherent magnetic charge that influenced the experiment. We all have electrical currents flowing through us, the strength of that current differ immensely between ppl.
