Earthing for Free or Almost Free (Grounding Yourself)

Ground Yourself to Normalize for Pennies : If you Like This Video : Like , Share , Comment and Subscribe .This will help me to produce more in the future . ( Additionally , I recommend taking the electrical plug back apart and removing the two electrical blades from behind for safety reasons so that you only leave the GROUNDING PRONG ) .

[@dgaydos]

Might have missed you saying it, but do check your outlets to make sure they're grounded with a ground checking device.

[@johnsond4197]

In the electronics field we often use ground straps with a wrist band . Not too expensive and also saves the equipment from static electricity which can kill your electronics

[@SchnuffiJames]

I would like to see a video where some one can show me how to put I think a resistor in in case of a lightning strike

[@johnmeredithstudios8557]

Unplug if theres any chance .

[@andrewm8831]

Agreed safer just to unplug

[@Jennifer83881]

Great idea with the cookie sheet. I have indoor only pets that I'm sure would want to lay on it to ground/earth to feel better. I was worried about their claws damaging a more delicate conductive material. Thank you so much.

[@sarahallenhumboldt2638]

Thank you; I appreciate your help.

[@johnmeredithstudios8557]

You are so welcome!

This is not an effective way to ground. You never want to ground yourself through an electrical system. It's a very dirty ground and can have the opposite effect. Run a wire out the window to a ground rod. Much more effective.

[@cpmillz]

Are you a scientist ? How do you know such things?

[@NoSmokeG]

@@cpmillz I don't need to be a scientist to understand simple concepts. Study and research will take you a long way. They make devices specifically for filtering out the bad stuff when grounding yourself through an electrical system. It's called an NCB. It was created by one of the top building biologists in the country, Andrew McAfee. He highly warns against grounding yourself through an electrical system.. but if you absolutely have to, use an NCB. It's always best to ground naturally through the earth. You can believe whatever you want and I'm sure you will. It doesn't matter to me either way. I was just stating a fact.

[@cpmillz]

@@NoSmokeG interesting , it sounds like you have researched . I made a grounding mat (plugs on wall). I’m going to look into using a grounding copper pole and plug the matt into that instead. I just can’t see how big of a. Difference either approach makes, but that’s why I’m learning more and more , thanks for answering

[@andrewm8831]

As long as you clean the earthing points contacts in your a cotton bud or electrical cleaner should be OK,I have a grounding pillow case in my bedroom but I always turn the power off to my bedroom at night one for extra safety and 2 because my daughter has a wi fi enabled television

[@NoSmokeG]

@@andrewm8831 Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. Cleaning the contact points does literally nothing to reduce dirty electricity. You need a greenwave filter for that, or something similar. I recommend the Satic filters.

[@stanleygeeks]

thanks for this, i'll try to replicate this but without the electrical plug since in my country the average housing didnt have a good grounding so i'll try with the grounding rod then

[@yonkromis7883]

Please don't recommend people ground themselves to the ground plug there was four volts of difference between a true ground and a grounding steak and the ground plug in the house at my house plus like you said it acts like a big antenna that might be real issue just take a cable wire and run directly out the window to a copper steak in the yard

[@lorifuller4065]

I’m lazy but your instructions are too darn good to not try this!

[@Marginal391]

Thank you :-).

[@johnmeredithstudios8557]

You are welcome!

[@skip530768]

Perhaps it would be better to remove the other 2 terminals from the plug. That way u might avoid accidents.

[@johnmeredithstudios8557]

Thank You , I already added that in my comments : ( Additionally , I recommend taking the electrical plug back apart and removing the two electrical blades from behind for safety reasons so that you only leave the GROUNDING PRONG ) .

[@reneedolefinley6654]

Can I ground a whole wall with grounding wire or a bunch of wire I have neighbors with jamming stuff...hoping grounding will help get tv radio or cell signal. Sheriff dept useless and friends of family involved maybe gave them the tech. When you patent all a competitor has to do is change 10 percent of product...so ya plus lawyers very expensive.

[@johnmeredithstudios8557]

Are you trying to build a Faraday Cage ? I have been giving it some thought myself . I guess there are paints that contain metal pigments you can purchase to keep out unwanted EMF's . I would check into that . I will also , eventually .

[@reneedolefinley6654]

[@johnmeredithstudios8557]

@@reneedolefinley6654 I am not sure how they could accomplish that . No need to make your own paint . You can buy paint that resists EMF's . Apparently even Home Depot sells this stuff . Magnetic Paint . Around 21.00 a Gallon .

I have a National 400B sewing machine. Do you know how you adjust or do the settings for the cams that you insert into the top? I have the manual but it does not really say how to do the settings.

[@johnmeredithstudios8557]

Once machine is properly adjusted it should sew with the cams without any additional fine adjustment . So long as your settings are in cam use mode . The manual should explain what those knob settings are . Hope this helps . John

[@johnmeredithstudios8557]

I don't recommend you try to do any fine adjustments on the cam followers . If after a Clean , Oil and adjust . Top and Bottom Tension fixes ,Timing readjust . If you still can't get it to follow the cams precisely , you should take it to a professional in your machines field .

[@lalanirhythmchanter5566]

I'm confused and can't see what ur using w tiny pieces and what u do after that r u touching the cookie sheet while watching tv? Any tips on grounding easiest in mobile home?

[@terrifictomm]

I truly appreciate these everyman diy videos. To make them truly useful for electro-morons like me it would be so much better if, before you post them, replay them and ask yourself, "Can anyone do what I did simple by following this video?" Because I can't. You camera is waaaay to far away. You need closeups. You hold up things, one after the other, without clearly identifying what they are or where I can get them. You talk about wrapping three wires you've exposed but don't show (closeup) what they look like or how to wrap them. Just a suggestion. I'm hoping you remake this video to clear up these issues. Thanks.

[@yonkromis7883]

Otherwise good job. But if you take a cable wire run out the window or door you can run it directly to a copper pipe driven into the ground

[@annfalco3875]

How far down into the ground does the copper pipe have to go? I have shale at like 2 feet deep. Wonder if I piled dirt up the pole if that helped get more "depth" or if that is useless?

[@yonkromis7883]

@@annfalco3875 250 should be plenty from what I understand try and keep it moist around there. aro should be plenty deep although I'm sure somewhere that you can drive the pipe much deeper
