As a line mechanic/Cable Jointer, the parts of your conductor that you burnt are less conductive now, using a clamp would have worked fine.

Also look up copper Vs stainless steel…… thought copper does have a better conductive property and what not stainless steel works better BECAUSE it does not corrode / rust / go bad in the elements especially in the soil 😂 but you live and learn.

We have electromagnetic fields all around the house, and the voltage will warry just moving a 1 meter away due to the magneticfields strenght differs from one spot to the next. You have a pretty good reading compared to mine inside my bedroom, because when I lay down in my bed it's 3 volts, where you only had 0.8 at the most. It seems you have pretty low magneticfields running lose in your bedroom which is a good thing. I also have 230 volt system which tend to give higher readings which equals worse. All in all you proved it works and earthing is a very inexpensive way to protect oneself and family from harmful dirty electricity and other stuff like wifi, 4G, 5G etc.

cules. This process is slow, especially in unpolluted environments, and can take months or years. As copper corrodes, it tarnishes and gradually turns dark brown or black, eventually becoming a distinctive blue-green color. Copper corrosion doesn't usually diminish copper's key properties, like conductivity and workability. In fact, the corrosion process produces a protective outer covering that can help copper last for thousands of years. This covering, called a patina, is a decorative film of surface oxidation that only affects the metal's appearance, not its structure.

I use a zinc-plated steel rod, and I notice that as the weeks pass, the measured voltage (540 millivolts) gradually reduces. When the measured voltage is below 400 millivolts, the initial sensation under the feet and in the bed, with a surface of gridded steel mesh. You must continually check the voltage level, and it is good if it is higher above zero, than at zero millivolts, or even below zero millivolts. Copper gives me a negative voltage reading... Zinc and magnesium gives me a positive voltage. I prefer to use a zinc-plated steel rod, and covered with a thin layer of wax and petroleum jelly to limit corrosion. I did a test with a stainless steel knife. I have a reading of -600 millivolts! A negative result, just like copper and chrome metal. When the voltage is negative, I do not derive satisfaction from contact with my gridded metal mesh surface under my feet and in my bed. If you can help me improve my system, I would be happy! We can discuss the subject. (Being French speaking, I use automatic translation.)

I would assume that the wire can be wired into it's own circuit breaker or high voltage fuse. Or, connect multiple wires to the rod, spiraling out in a star pattern thereby dispersing the lightning electricity in other directions. It's just a theory, so I don't know if it would actually work, but that's those are the two methods I plan to implement.

Square Galvanized Wire Fencing - Dimension Format size: 36'' x 25' - Pattern opening: 1/4" - This type of pin is sold in rolls in all hardware stores. We cut out the surface we want, approximately 12'' x 24'', and we can install it in the bed, under the thighs, and under the feet (on a mat) We connect all of this to the common thread up to the zinc-plated steel rod, and covered with a thin layer of paraffin to limit corrosion, also with a layer of petroleum jelly against corrosion before planting the steel rod which looks like a very long screw. If the rod measures 1 meter, cut it into two 50cm rods. Stick the rod 30cm into the ground, and that will be enough. You must use the multimeter (volt-meter) often to ensure that the electrical charge is good enough. If we never check, the steel rod will rust, and the conductivity will gradually decrease. If the rod is rusty, the voltage will be low, and it will need to be replaced. A satisfactory charge is in the 420-580 millivolt range. Curiously, when i take a copper rod or inox, i have a negative voltage ! - 500 millivolts... I prefer to use the metals who provide a positive voltage, as zinc plated steel rod, magnesium or other. On the multimeter, place the black probe on the steel rod or at the end of the conductor wire, on the pin mat, and the red probe on an electric heater or a metal pipe in the house, or directly in the ground ' from the electrical outlet. You will see the voltage that actually arrives under your feet in the house! I'm going to make a little video on all of this soon. Even if the video is in French, you will still see the different components of the installation which is very simple.

voltage = i * r... the voltage is higher because the resistance is higher. this is due to the fact that your ground isn't as short as the house wiring and the length is longer. You could use the ohm's function between the ground of the outlet and your romex. It's probably a low resistance so no big deal. even a few hundred ohms is ok but you're probable going to be under 10 ohms. The only problem is that your mattress cover and sheets are going to insulate you from the ground contact. there are conductive mats and sheets available.

I respect and agree with what you're trying to do but the technique is not Let me explain I am a licensed FCC general radio operated license with electronics degree I have worked and the RF field and the electrical field with a utility company That being said, I do believe in grounding our bodies and our energies and having a source for them to go But under extreme conditions as in lightning If lightning hits the power structure system around your home, it will run the grounds into your home And will lift the ground The term is called ground lift And it is possible for your bed to become slightly energized under a lightning storm If that storm is near your home Just keep this in mind Okay, now back to what you're doing. I agree with what you're trying to do, but there's things outside your perspective at this point and most people that are commenting on this would not even comprehend this But I have been down that road Be careful my friend. A midnight call with your hair standing up off your neck will not be good And even if you come back and say that you used a separate ground rod, then you become the potential between the ground differences between the house ground and your bed ground checking those with just a voltmeter on DC resistance or AC voltage will not suffice Because under a stressful load as in a lightning strike all bets are off

I only remember one thing, it is that the electrical charge of the ground is only on the surface, and it is the beneficial charge that the body needs to be connected. The electrical 'ground' of the house or other, is deeper, and there is no voltage at this depth of the ground. This is why I pass a conductive wire through the window to get outside this natural electrical charge present on the surface of the ground. In the house, my feet are on a grid spindle trellis with 540 millivolts, and it's as if I had my feet in the grass all year round!!! You have to see it first on the multimeter. The voltage can vary depending on the steel rod used, or even where I attach my steel rod into the ground. No need to push it deep, only 30 cm maximum. Deeper, the voltage drops because I'm going too deep.

I Wonder If you use more or thicker copper mesh on the bed if that would help out more, stand up to a lot of human movement on it? I’ve known people to connect to the metal springs on the bed to draw the bad electrical frequencies away from us. I wonder if you can do both what the experience would be like on the body? The other thing, what if you live in Apartment and you don’t have access to dirt/soil you can put into the “Ground,” let alone 8 feet into the ground. I was wondering if you could have bog “Plant Pots,” filled with dirt/Soil around your bed, it also looks good, if you could use these instead? I am going to try it. WISH ME LUCK!

@sonofman70x7
@sonofman70x7 Жыл бұрын
Housing codes in the US require that the rod be eight feet long. I believe this is due to the differences in conductivity between dry and wet earth, with the earth eight feet down being nearly always wet and, therefore, conductive.

@@sonofman70x7 I assume those requirements are for grounding a house's electrical system, not for grounding of persons. For lowest cost testing of grounding overnight, I kept it super simple: I bought the cheapest wire, ran it through my window, stripped the end, stuck it into the dirt a meter from my window, held it down with a rock. At the other bed end, I again stripped the wire and taped it to the sole of my left foot using microfiber tape. Even that level of grounding has been enough to convince me it's working. I have a grounding rod on the way to make things a little more permanent, but it's only a foot or so in length - more than enough. Eventually I'd like separate grounding wiring in my house (to avoid interference from appliances and such) with dedicated outlets in each room (i.e. the outlet only has a clean path to ground, not power).

Yes, it's possible to get electrocuted by grounding to Earth with a resistor if the soil resistance is low: Grounding Grounding an electrical system provides a path for fault currents to ground, which causes a circuit protective device to operate immediately. However, grounding doesn't stop the flow of current and voltage, so it doesn't protect people from injury. Resistor A neutral ground resistor limits the sudden flow of a fault current, or earth fault, to a predetermined value. If a resistor is connected to ground at one node and current flows into the other node, there is a voltage drop across the resistor. Soil resistance If the soil resistance between the ground rod and where a live wire touches the ground is low, a high current will flow, which could be dangerous and cause a fire. Include in your system a quick disconnect for when you hear lightning, thunder or 🌧 raining... near your bed at arms reach.... Redundancy, Redundancy for your redundancy..Redundancy...

Since then I am not sure if I have grown accustom to it or if any placebo has worn off. Either way we are sleeping good and I have found that when sleeping in an ungrounded bed, the quality of sleep is not nearly matched. I do thinking adding a breaker of fuse is an excellent idea. I had that thought shortly have completing my install. The grounding rod SHOULD discharge any surge into the ground before allowing it to enter the bed, but who knows with a lightning strike. Thanks for the comment.

Links to supplies? Does the grounding rod have to be 8 ft? I'm disabled and not able to get on a ladder and needing to be sneaky as I live on an apartment How would o know it's a safe place to drive a group rod? Not hitting something electrical, gas, or structural? Was thinking of putt it under a bush. How would I do this with the grounded part of my outlets? I bought a product that plugged straight into the grounded part but I didn't understand how that was actually doing anything because the wire was so thin and then it connected to a fake lather wrist band no metal exposed on skin. Wanting to make my own because my research showed those wires were too thin to help. But i have q brain injury and don't understand half of what I'm researching. Wanted to do on rod on each side of apartment anf have one coming into the living room going to the couch and the recliner and If possible, the rod on the front of the apartment would come in on two different windows to go to two different beds. Or preferably just making 3-4 of my own outlet version to go to the two beds and couch and recliner so me and my kiddo are at least grounded while sleeping and sitting!

This video is from the US, right? You guys have grounding in your houses already. I'm not familiar with US building an electrical code. But it should be very easy to pick the grounding from one of your existing sockets. In fact most grounding products come with a set of cables and a special plastic plug to pick ONLY grounding from a socket. AND you want to have your bed clothing made from fabric with silver threading woven in it. It's not that expensive. Simple pieces of stainless steel sheet to make a foot or arms rest for you desktop where you spend hrs in front a screen are easy for DIY , bed clothing not so much.

Translation: Does the pipe that serves as a 'ground' need to be planted deeply? People walking on the ground connect with surface current. I planted a steel rod about 18 inches deep. A simple electrical wire goes from there into the house through the window, and I connect different things with this conductive wire which is my new 'ground'. I measure the voltage between this wire which comes from outside, and the 'ground' of an ordinary electrical outlet. I get a measured voltage of about 500 millivolts, or 0.5 Volts. I therefore see that the ground of the electrical outlet is of opposite polarity to the ground from the outside!!! Those who plug special mats in there will never have the desired effects if the polarity is opposite to that outside! I got a roll of squared pin at the hardware store, and I cut myself a rectangle measuring 15 x 36 inches, with black electrical tape all around to avoid poking myself with the pin. I plug in this pin rectangle, and I put it on the mat at my computer desk. You can barely fit your little finger into this spindle grid. Another pin rectangle of the same size that I put on my bed, not all night, but for a nap only. The pin keeps the shape of the back, from the head to the buttocks. It's cold at first, but it's brief. It warms up quickly. Plugging this pin into my bed ensures complete and uniform distribution of the ground's electrical charge over the entire covered body surface. For your installation, the way you arranged the metal wire on the mattress, I have the impression that the result is not optimal, in addition to having a sheet that covers the metal wire, the contact is not is not done very well. To have the 'ground' all night, I have another option. I connected the outer wire to a 5 inch long magnesium rod that I keep in contact with the body, no matter where, but on the skin directly, and I feel the energy passing through too! We can continue to discuss the subject, using the 'translate' function. I am from Quebec, Canada.

Always connect the first DMM test lead probe to ground or to the neutral connection then connect the other test lead probe to the hot. If you connect the first DMM test lead probe to the hot connection 16:17 first the other lead becomes hot through the DMM and you could get a shock if you touch the probe tip. I would never sleep in a grounded bed unless it was in a hospital using a medical grade receptacle.

8 feet into the ground is not necessary and all those windings around the top of the rod is not necessary that serves no purpose to coil it like that at the top. - with that said your heart and mind are in the right spot. Grounding is not a theory it is scientific fact. If you have a newborn and the child is colicky this will help grounding take your baby with skin-to-skin and walk in the grass barefoot no socks. You don't have to walk you can sit stand whatever. Is also good for stress anxiety depression. It's no accident that people started wearing sneakers insulated ones
