Null resulting force, to limits of measurment. Anything over a 10 milliNewtons should have shown, theset was suspended on a bearing-supported swivel at 15 cm from center, 1.12 Kg balanced by 1.2 kg mass on the opposing arm. Spark-gap set to 1.5cm
Even if there had been a force, the induced stress translates to a large degree into heat. There may be a force, but driven by approximately 400 watts, it would be almost infinitesimal.
