@@alexzemaitis You'll need a grounding rod, romex 3 or 4 wire, and a clamp to connect the wire to rod. You can hammer the grounding rod into the ground outside your bedroom and run the wire from it to your bed or whatever you want to ground

@@simplydwell It's probably a good thing if you don't notice much of a change.

Howdy. To supply one's body with electrons. Wear a conductive belt and a six feet bare wire to free drag along the ground. Connect a 9V dry cell minus to the belt and the plus to the drag tail wire ... Regards.
grounding / earthing brought me here. As a former electrician I cringe. Make the grounding Rod 8 feet deep just look it up. Also look up how to properly make connections. 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. Your welcome
I work with copper every day, have for years. Guess what? It doesn’t rust or corrode. It’ll tarnish, maybe go green but it’ll never rust. Why do we use copper for drinking water pipes?
I like the wire across the bed.. im using aluminum tape i just put across the top of the fitted sheet.. direct skin contact.. i just got copper tape to replace.. i might try the wire on top of the sheet next Thanx!
Copper is an essential element that we need for our health. Our pipes used to be made of copper. People are buying copper water bottles to get more copper in their system. Toxicity is an issue when ingesting. Copper on the skin wouldn't really apply. I guess you could do some tests to see if you're deficient
I read all comments, but I noticed no one mentioned this, so I’ll say it: The rod outside could be insulated to mitigate the risk of strike lighting, or the rod should be hammered completely under ground. Any comments to my statement?
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.

I used a 3ft grounding Rod which I hope is ok. I just woke up from a refreshing sleep that I assume the grounding had something to do with it. I ordered a multimeter to to make sure I am grounded.
Earthing & Grounding is proven and has lots of merit!! It's not really "out there" except for follks who don't want to think for themselves. Thank you for talking about it and showing DIY way 😃
It's not out there at all. What's completely out there is the things people accept as normal that kill them, and then label the good things as out there. Kinda like what you said but more cut & dry as to not give any room whatsoever to the ridiculousness and extreme willful ignorance that proliferates in this so called advanced contemporary western society.

The copper solder connections didn’t work out as great due to lack of cleaning the copper by scratching it with a abrasive pad and use of soldering flux, high heat on the torch isn’t necessary, just a pro tip.
By putting a torch to the copper wind you actually weakened the continuity of the electric to pass through it. Once a metal is burnt it’s no longer feasible of the amount of current to pass through.
To solder that wire to the rod requires high heat which the torch is and Flux or soldering paste to keep the copper from oxidizing and allow the solder to flow. Also heat the rod more than the wire at first.

What kind of sheet? I’m curious to know if the effect of a cotton sheet or linen would work better vs polyester/acrylic/synthetic types that are so common. Plastics definitely slow down voltage frequencies.
The last fucking place you want to be is between anything and your home's ground. God fucking forbid someone without a proper home ground follows this advice they run the risk of carrying a circuit's load through them.

I love the idea of grounding. I walk on the grass all the time. I live in Florida, we are lightning capital of the world and the thought of having a copper wire that goes directly to my bed gives me the willies. My girlfriend had a tree get hit outside her house blew out everything electrical in our house. can you imagine being on your bed when that happens?
I wondered this too (I’m a native Floridian as well, lol). Wondering if there were no outlets used and only ground if the electricity would dissipate? Wish I knew as well
Louisianian here and I’m worried about the same thing. Maybe instead of wiring the bed we can wear it on our wrist when it’s good weather. A little constraining but safer.
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.
Question: Would it work and be safe to just put a copper rod into the ground outside my window with a 2.2 kg copper wire wrapped around it, with the other end of copper wire fed into my window and wrapped around my foot...... Would that ground my body? Would this be safe? I have sandals with copper through the soles for earthing, so I just figured this would be similar to that
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.
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 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.
Absolutely and save a bunch for the rod, wire, solder and labor. That's exactly how the commercially available ones are. Just a regular plug connected to the ground center pin.🔌🔌🔌
So ostensibly you could just ground your bed using the neutral grounding socket in a regular outlet and not have to run a grounding wire from a grounding pole?
Sounds reasonable however all your equipment phone system, cable TV etc also flows through. In some cases people feel worse or not good sleep do to all the other devices flowing via same line and could be flowing into you versus out of you... Earth ground is legit. Don't take shortcuts ❤
@@NarcisAlin1 You run the risk of exposing yourself to improperly grounded electrical wire or dirty electricity when using an outlet. It's ideal to run a dedicated ground rod and wire it up yourself. Just make sure its far enough away from any electrical sources or water.
You totally can its super easy it’s a special plug that is only hooked up to the ground you can check it with one of those meter detectors It’s so much easier cheaper using less wires all over the place

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!
You would need to ground to an electrical outlet in your apartment, by only using the ground on the outlet. I believe any grounding source would need to eventually connect you to the actual earth.
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.
You should've used a grounding clamp on the rod. Still, great job. Did the rod have to be 8 feet? On the earthing movie, he just stuck a rod in the ground that looked to ge about a foot or so. Im very curious on what is acceptable 🤔
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).
Place the red probe in the 'ground' of the electrical outlet, and touch the conductive wire with the black probe. There, at home, I measure 540 millivolts. This is what comes from the outside, and what the body needs.
Install/create a U loop right at entry... this ensures when it rains(as your 💯 %Silicone will wear/dry down over years) This doesn't allow water to follow your electrical wire down into your home creating serious water damages causing.... 1.) Insurance claim deny per your non-license install. 2.) Carpenter ants love moist wood/environments. 3) Termites love trive in moist wood/environments. Please make a follow up videos with the changes and improved health benefits 🙏 ❤❤️💯
Hello, sorry for the issue. Everything appears and sounds to be working on my end. Can you check your setup for any potential issue? Thanks for the feedback.
@@simplydwell Hi. Appreciate you taking the time to respond. Have tried again with same poor audio. Also tried on my wife's phone and we still hear almost nothing. Not sure what's up.
Hell,,,buy electl wite strip d plasticrubber covering ,,,,dig the ground insert some wire,,,then pour the soil back,,, On the other end connect the wire to the bed use natural cotton bed sheet ,,,cheaper much easier,,,less danger
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.
that should be bonded to your house ground system as well. if a hot wire came into contact with that seperate ground system it would not clear a fualt. (trip the breaker)
Disagree use afusable link and is same as a breaker otherwise ground wires do sometimes come in contact with hot wires and don't trip the breaker.thats how some Electrical fires are started
Could you suggest if ESD or Anti-static mats be used on the beds for grounding? That would be a cheap alternative to buying expensive grounding mats/ save me the trouble of making one. Thanks!
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!
you could have installed a grounding clamp,its easily available at a big box hardware store,and it just screws onto the grounding rod,someone at the store should have told you.
Can you tell a difference in your sleep? I'm looking into doing this. I'm actually thinking about adding a breaker in the line just as a safty perception because of lightning hittingtheground outside. I saw a video on that some time ago they added a breaker in the line. Something to think about. Thank you for the video, good job on the installation. 👍
Hello! Yes, I have noticed marginal improvements in my sleep and my wife's sleep. This was especially evident the first week of deployment. 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.
@@thepitpatrol yes, a lightning strike will simply blow the fuse and still make continuity across the contacts. You need what’s called an “ark suppressor” but even then the amount of amperage in a lightning strike no amount of protection will prove ideal.
@@Jason-rn4jk yes we own two poultry farms with multiple computers on them. We have every device known to man to stop lightning and on direct strikes nothing helps.
Before you put that wire on you should have sand down that Rod you had in the ground and then when you wrap the wire you should have saved it that too which gives the solder something to grip on

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.
Can't you use a home outlet and an extension cord by removing the neutral and hot prongs, leaving the ground prong and then use the exposed ground wire on the other end to attach to the bed?
Some people report getting a negative effect from EMF that returns from the outlet's ground. This EMF, if it exists, likely comes from all other appliances that use the common ground.
Depends on power of lightning strike.lighting struck a tree followed a path to a barracks and killed everyone in barracks in that case it wouldn't matter any way
I bought metal tape 14 gauge copper wire and a big metal spike with holes in it to just wrap the wire in through and around and if I die my little dog will go with me but I’m sure as hell going to try it
Your flame was all wrong and too far away. You hear the metal the push the solder into it this melts and bonds the connection. Good effort tho brother. How's it working? I just made one too.
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.

@@JamesR23 I keep hearing people say the opposite about both, some people say the outlet works better if your place is grounded properly and some people say it doesn't matter either way so idk what do. Why do you say that?
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...
So I put an electric guitar end from amp to my entire body all over in points … so when I put it on my ovarys the sound and electricity went up ? So what does that means :(
Does the ground rod need to be 8ft? I also tested from the outlet to ground wire and got 124 volts. Also tip attach ground wire to alligator clip and buy farraday fabric under the sheets, works like a charm. I also used 14 guage wire from my ground rod 😂.
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.
any idea how does the copper rod on the ground will react when there is lightening hit the ground? will it effect when you sleeping on the copper wire connected bed?
I thought the whole idea of grounding is to keep the electricity from you. We have a grounding pad on our bed and I would not be without it!! And, yes, it was expensive but worth the money!!
Why does that rod have to be so long that's gone into the ground? I have only a short rod which came with a commercial grounding sheet. The rod is not copper either. I don't sleep particularly well with so want to try with soft copper flashing on the bed. My bed close to window which is good. 🙂

What's the difference between this method and the others i've seen on youtube where they bore a wider hole on the ground and fill it with salt, charcoal and sand alternately to the top? And they use only a GI pipe.

Yes, but connecting the actual earth is best since the electrical grid (outlets) have a lot of EMF noise, but if that's your only option, then that's better then no grounding at all. :)
Si le fil métallique est sous le drap, il n'y a pas de contact direct. Je te suggère de te découper un rectangle de treillis de broche quadrillée et de le placer dans le lit, directement sous les cuisses en contact direct avec la peau. Tu vas sentir la charge électrique naturelle du sol, et c'est ce qui est utile pour le corps.
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.
I was thinking the exact same thing, why didn't he just get a grounding clamp. Still this was a great video, he did an awesome job 👍
The most important factor in an electrical splice is pressure.
A simple clamp designed for grounding would be far better.

Would duct tape wrapped around coil rod hinder the conductivity?
Would drilling through the nail and weaving the wire like a figure 8 be a good alternative?

I like the wire across the bed.. im using aluminum tape i just put across the top of the fitted sheet.. direct skin contact.. i just got copper tape to replace.. i might try the wire on top of the sheet next
Thanx!
what about copper toxicity? somebody told me that,:( i wanted to do the same as you
Copper is an essential element that we need for our health. Our pipes used to be made of copper. People are buying copper water bottles to get more copper in their system. Toxicity is an issue when ingesting. Copper on the skin wouldn't really apply. I guess you could do some tests to see if you're deficient
@@serenapounders7316 my pipes are still made from copper.. but I'd be damned if I'm gonna drink that poisoned water.. ha
@@serenapounders7316 THANK YOU SO MUCH
I read all comments, but I noticed no one mentioned this, so I’ll say it:
The rod outside could be insulated to mitigate the risk of strike lighting, or the rod should be hammered completely under ground.
Any comments to my statement?
I agree with you, i was even thinking about using tape, that could have done the job on insulation and weather protection at the top
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.
Your an idiot
I live in a seconed story apartment. I made a home made canopy around my bed and idk if i should ground it outside theiugh the window or make a DIY outlet plug. Can you tell me exaclty step by step a list of what materials to get at home depot and how to install the ground or outlet and the safest way to go about doing it and where to put it so i dont get shocked? I'm new to this so it would really mean a lot. Thank you 🙏
I used a 3ft grounding Rod which I hope is ok. I just woke up from a refreshing sleep that I assume the grounding had something to do with it. I ordered a multimeter to to make sure I am grounded.
google the placebo effect
@@powerplayer75 it's not a placebo effect but you should do some research before making a statement that is so wrong🔌
Earthing & Grounding is proven and has lots of merit!! It's not really "out there" except for follks who don't want to think for themselves. Thank you for talking about it and showing DIY way 😃
It's not out there at all. What's completely out there is the things people accept as normal that kill them, and then label the good things as out there. Kinda like what you said but more cut & dry as to not give any room whatsoever to the ridiculousness and extreme willful ignorance that proliferates in this so called advanced contemporary western society.

Thinking for yourself has nothing to do with it if the science backs it up.
I lay fine stainless steel cord that are wired to ground at where my bare legs rested on the mattress for direct contact. It works pretty well.
You just needed flux for before soldering
Tw great vid...keep it up and have you done a follow up vid of improvements?
12:17 that microphone picked those sounds up so well i thought it was in my home
The copper solder connections didn’t work out as great due to lack of cleaning the copper by scratching it with a abrasive pad and use of soldering flux, high heat on the torch isn’t necessary, just a pro tip.
I’m assuming your a plumber. I also cringed watching that lmaoo.
By putting a torch to the copper wind you actually weakened the continuity of the electric to pass through it. Once a metal is burnt it’s no longer feasible of the amount of current to pass through.
Doesn’t he just need some flux?
You should have just used a connector clamp.
@@Jeff-tractorToureg very true
To solder that wire to the rod requires high heat which the torch is and Flux or soldering paste to keep the copper from oxidizing and allow the solder to flow. Also heat the rod more than the wire at first.
was thinking the same thing, that's a lot of copper to heat up!

What kind of sheet? I’m curious to know if the effect of a cotton sheet or linen would work better vs polyester/acrylic/synthetic types that are so common. Plastics definitely slow down voltage frequencies.
Linen and wool wool are grounding. However when used together cancel each other out
I would have to say this video is interesting informative and insightful....🙏THANK YOU 🤘
The last fucking place you want to be is between anything and your home's ground. God fucking forbid someone without a proper home ground follows this advice they run the risk of carrying a circuit's load through them.
That same outlet you tested has a ground wire that is bonded to a ground rod already. Could have used that...

I love the idea of grounding. I walk on the grass all the time. I live in Florida, we are lightning capital of the world and the thought of having a copper wire that goes directly to my bed gives me the willies. My girlfriend had a tree get hit outside her house blew out everything electrical in our house. can you imagine being on your bed when that happens?
I wondered this too (I’m a native Floridian as well, lol). Wondering if there were no outlets used and only ground if the electricity would dissipate? Wish I knew as well
He is not getting energy from a socket. It's coming from the ground.
Yeah. Lightning only hits grounded people. That's why those in cars don't get hit. Wondering also how to protect ourselves from lightning.
Louisianian here and I’m worried about the same thing. Maybe instead of wiring the bed we can wear it on our wrist when it’s good weather. A little constraining but safer.
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.
It's okay if it's pee, don't worry we've all done it 😂
Question: Would it work and be safe to just put a copper rod into the ground outside my window with a 2.2 kg copper wire wrapped around it, with the other end of copper wire fed into my window and wrapped around my foot...... Would that ground my body? Would this be safe? I have sandals with copper through the soles for earthing, so I just figured this would be similar to that
What im doin right now
I’m curious to hear about an update about health benefits (or not) you found from this!
Nice video. Keep up the good work.
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.
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 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.
Can you just make a plug with an earth wire that connects to the earth point in the power socket?
Absolutely and save a bunch for the rod, wire, solder and labor. That's exactly how the commercially available ones are. Just a regular plug connected to the ground center pin.🔌🔌🔌
@@brianreiss6036some can have “dirty power” that make grounding through the standard outlet less effective
And lightning strikes light up your bed, roast your ass ..sheeeeeeet!!
So ostensibly you could just ground your bed using the neutral grounding socket in a regular outlet and not have to run a grounding wire from a grounding pole?
A lot of people consider that dirty grounding and that grounding with the earth is cleaner.
Sounds reasonable however all your equipment phone system, cable TV etc also flows through. In some cases people feel worse or not good sleep do to all the other devices flowing via same line and could be flowing into you versus out of you...
Earth ground is legit.
Don't take shortcuts ❤
THE CENTER PLUG ON EVERY OUTLET CONNECTS TO THE GROUND ROD. THE DIFFERENCE IS NEGLIGIBLE.
All commercially sold units use the wall outlet. 🔌🔌🔌
Should our body skin touch the copper cable directly?
Hard romex wires over the mattress? Your wife loves you dude!
Just make sure you're not sleeping during a lighting storm that rolls thru!
Should I lay directly on the wire? Cause once I cover it with a sheet the multimeter barely picks it up
Nice idea !!one question is it possible to ground bed from the socket directly off course the neutral side
Do you think would be the same thing ?
Yes they sell those plugs online, but you need to check if your outlet is really grounded
@@Larsonaut thx !
@@NarcisAlin1 You run the risk of exposing yourself to improperly grounded electrical wire or dirty electricity when using an outlet. It's ideal to run a dedicated ground rod and wire it up yourself. Just make sure its far enough away from any electrical sources or water.
You totally can its super easy it’s a special plug that is only hooked up to the ground you can check it with one of those meter detectors
It’s so much easier cheaper using less wires all over the place
Great information 😮... thanks
I did this but used a connector does it matter or should I wrapped the wire around the copper pipe? I also use aluminum tape placed across my bed.
Looks really comfortable 😂
Hi friend thanks for the informative video
Btw please create a follow up video with said changes pl ty
Ty for explaining it wasn’t pee. Was very concern 🤣
He's one of the real people. I love it.
Include in your system a stronger resistor and a quick disconnect for when you hear lightning, thunder or 🌧 raining... near your bed at arms reach....
Redundancy, Redundancy for your redundancy..Redundancy...
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!
Hey, same case here. Living in an appartment and wondering if running the wire to a potted plant would work. Have you had any insights on this?
You would need to ground to an electrical outlet in your apartment, by only using the ground on the outlet. I believe any grounding source would need to eventually connect you to the actual earth.
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.
1 small problem tho
What if the rod is struck by lightning 😱 while you where sleeping.
That’s not a concern. However, if he touches live voltage while being grounded, he’ll be dead-dead.
You should've used a grounding clamp on the rod. Still, great job. Did the rod have to be 8 feet? On the earthing movie, he just stuck a rod in the ground that looked to ge about a foot or so. Im very curious on what is acceptable 🤔
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).
I cut my 8ft rod in half...
Place the red probe in the 'ground' of the electrical outlet, and touch the conductive wire with the black probe. There, at home, I measure 540 millivolts. This is what comes from the outside, and what the body needs.
Install/create a U loop right at entry... this ensures when it rains(as your 💯 %Silicone will wear/dry down over years)
This doesn't allow water to follow your electrical wire down into your home creating serious water damages causing....
1.) Insurance claim deny per your non-license install.
2.) Carpenter ants love moist wood/environments.
3) Termites love trive in moist wood/environments.

Thanks for the video, did you get any improvments like better sleep or something with this ?
Hey brother how do you feel its been a year now. I literally did something similar today, and tonight will be my first night sleeping
Would love to listen to your video. Problem is it's almost inaudible. Can you do one with sound pls?
Hello, sorry for the issue. Everything appears and sounds to be working on my end. Can you check your setup for any potential issue? Thanks for the feedback.
@@simplydwell Hi. Appreciate you taking the time to respond. Have tried again with same poor audio. Also tried on my wife's phone and we still hear almost nothing. Not sure what's up.
An electric outlet is no longer needed if you do an outdoor grounding nail?
No it is replaced by it. Household electrical outlet grounds are comprised by stray current from the curcuits.
Hell,,,buy electl wite strip d plasticrubber covering ,,,,dig the ground insert some wire,,,then pour the soil back,,,
On the other end connect the wire to the bed use natural cotton bed sheet ,,,cheaper much easier,,,less danger
That was so helpful!thank you
Thanks for the video. Very informative.
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.
that should be bonded to your house ground system as well. if a hot wire came into contact with that seperate ground system it would not clear a fualt. (trip the breaker)
Disagree use afusable link and is same as a breaker otherwise ground wires do sometimes come in contact with hot wires and don't trip the breaker.thats how some Electrical fires are started
Could you suggest if ESD or Anti-static mats be used on the beds for grounding? That would be a cheap alternative to buying expensive grounding mats/ save me the trouble of making one. Thanks!
Great video!
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!
Assume just use a 3 prong plug cord and the middle prong is ground wire .
I have a big pot in my bedroom with a big tree. Can I ground with cooper rod and wire inside it???☺
No that would not work.
you could have installed a grounding clamp,its easily available at a big box hardware store,and it just screws onto the grounding rod,someone at the store should have told you.
Thank you for great info
Can you tell a difference in your sleep? I'm looking into doing this. I'm actually thinking about adding a breaker in the line just as a safty perception because of lightning hittingtheground outside. I saw a video on that some time ago they added a breaker in the line. Something to think about.
Thank you for the video, good job on the installation. 👍
Hello! Yes, I have noticed marginal improvements in my sleep and my wife's sleep. This was especially evident the first week of deployment. 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.
The breaker is a good idea
I heard it's enough to put the head of the bed edit due south. It's good for heart reasons
@@simplydwell a fuse will not help with a lighting strike.
@@thepitpatrol yes, a lightning strike will simply blow the fuse and still make continuity across the contacts. You need what’s called an “ark suppressor” but even then the amount of amperage in a lightning strike no amount of protection will prove ideal.
@@Jason-rn4jk yes we own two poultry farms with multiple computers on them. We have every device known to man to stop lightning and on direct strikes nothing helps.
Before you put that wire on you should have sand down that Rod you had in the ground and then when you wrap the wire you should have saved it that too which gives the solder something to grip on

One year ago, so what happened? Did it work?
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.
Great vid thank you 😊
Can't you use a home outlet and an extension cord by removing the neutral and hot prongs, leaving the ground prong and then use the exposed ground wire on the other end to attach to the bed?
Yes, you could; but if you ever get electrical feedback through the ground, it could energize your bed.
@SuperCountryboy777 yes sir C'mon baby light my 🔥
Yea I'm not plugging myself into any socket!
Some people report getting a negative effect from EMF that returns from the outlet's ground. This EMF, if it exists, likely comes from all other appliances that use the common ground.
If lighting strikes the cooper rod with cooper wire leading to the indoor mattress what are the chances of electrocution???
50 - 50
Depends on power of lightning strike.lighting struck a tree followed a path to a barracks and killed everyone in barracks in that case it wouldn't matter any way
I bought metal tape 14 gauge copper wire and a big metal spike with holes in it to just wrap the wire in through and around and if I die my little dog will go with me but I’m sure as hell going to try it
Would Buried copper 12 gauge wire into ground and adhering other end to my iron swing give me any grounding effect?
Just wondering why you didn’t just use your ground on the outlet beside your bed?
Your flame was all wrong and too far away. You hear the metal the push the solder into it this melts and bonds the connection. Good effort tho brother. How's it working?
I just made one too.
can u send parts list so I can try this
Just wrap wire around your finger.
Yeah man, you need to score the wire and the rod, then heat very hot wipe on some flux and drop your brazing wire. You want to braze, not solder.
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.
I live in a seconed story apartment. I made a home made canopy around my bed and idk if i should ground it outside theiugh the window or make a DIY outlet plug. Can you tell me exaclty step by step a list of what materials to get at home depot and how to install the ground or outlet and the safest way to go about doing it and where to put it so i dont get shocked? I'm new to this so it would really mean a lot. Thank you 🙏
@@alexzemaitisjust don’t ground to an outlet. That will be detrimental
@@JamesR23 I keep hearing people say the opposite about both, some people say the outlet works better if your place is grounded properly and some people say it doesn't matter either way so idk what do. Why do you say that?
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...
You don't have much knowledge about the ground on every outlet. there is no resistor and it's connected to a ground rod. EVERY HOUSE HAS THAT!
Would light copper screen work ?
What happens if lightning hits the grounding rod while you are on the bed?
Well they will receive a shock although the cable will act like a fuse and melt you will still receive a shock
So I put an electric guitar end from amp to my entire body all over in points … so when I put it on my ovarys the sound and electricity went up ? So what does that means :(
I'm calling Nanny 911!
So how do you feel after a year sleeping on this?
Yes, lets connect a ground wire directly to your bed. That way when lightning hits nearby, you definitely won't get electrocuted. 🤣
Does the ground rod need to be 8ft? I also tested from the outlet to ground wire and got 124 volts. Also tip attach ground wire to alligator clip and buy farraday fabric under the sheets, works like a charm. I also used 14 guage wire from my ground rod 😂.
What made you choose 14gauge? Trying to decide for myself
@@joesabol890 no reason in particular, I think it what was available, I'd go with 12 if I could do it again, but works just the same
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.
I get much better radio reception now I'm using an old electric blanket element which is grounded ... but I notice I get lots of nightmares ...
I dream about Mr. Tesla
@@ernietallman there are Tablets now to prevent these headaches ask for some Edison pills 💊 they work direct !
any idea how does the copper rod on the ground will react when there is lightening hit the ground? will it effect when you sleeping on the copper wire connected bed?
I thought the whole idea of grounding is to keep the electricity from you. We have a grounding pad on our bed and I would not be without it!! And, yes, it was expensive but worth the money!!
lightning will strike the taller structures 1st. ground can absorb lightning and every house has a ground rod.
Why does that rod have to be so long that's gone into the ground? I have only a short rod which came with a commercial grounding sheet. The rod is not copper either.
I don't sleep particularly well with so want to try with soft copper flashing on the bed. My bed close to window which is good. 🙂

What's the difference between this method and the others i've seen on youtube where they bore a wider hole on the ground and fill it with salt, charcoal and sand alternately to the top? And they use only a GI pipe.
Salt does increase conduction
Do you have to use the outlet? To ground.
You run the risk of exposing yourself to improperly grounded electrical wire or dirty electricity when using an outlet. It's ideal to run a dedicated ground rod and wire it up yourself. Just make sure its far enough away from any electrical sources or water.
By Code there should be a dedicated ground already in place for your homes electric system. @@KoreyConstable
Your socket did have earthing already, so you could have put a copper wire directly in the socket. It doesn't work that way?
Yes, but connecting the actual earth is best since the electrical grid (outlets) have a lot of EMF noise, but if that's your only option, then that's better then no grounding at all. :)
Why not using the grounding from your electric socket?
Si le fil métallique est sous le drap, il n'y a pas de contact direct. Je te suggère de te découper un rectangle de treillis de broche quadrillée et de le placer dans le lit, directement sous les cuisses en contact direct avec la peau. Tu vas sentir la charge électrique naturelle du sol, et c'est ce qui est utile pour le corps.
