Adding ferric nitrate to the water makes this experiment one in
FMR, ferromagnetic resonance rather than nuclear magnetic resonance.
The total electronic spin of iron precesses with a static external
magnetic field just as the nuclear spins do.  However, the contribution
of the iron electronic spin is much greater.
