A tip for grounding without cost
Dump those pricey, fake bed sheets.
This is my rushed initial hookup of 4 electronic engineers ESD wrist straps attached to a crudely prepared IEC mains cable (absolutely DO NOT DO THIS please!). Make sure to use the yellow ground bench plug pictured below, it has a 1 megaohm resistor as protection.
Here we see one of the kits available on amazon. The fabric straps are very comfortable and light weight. The connections are easy to remove from the straps when one needs a toilet dash or to get up. I find them very manageable considering they have cables attached.
One of the problems with the pricey sheets is that engineers are testing the plug earth pin to sheet threads and finding many are not even connected. The other problem is the sheets do not seem to last in the wash many times. Contact is also questionable as they have very small threads of 5% silver running through them. The wrist straps firmly keep a well connected metal plate pressed gently against your skin. I put mine on my ankles and use 2 for better grounding. I personally think that occasionally connecting to the wrist as well is even more helpful.
Well that's really all for this one. Most of us are allready aware of the lowered. Inflammation, and positive body effects proven by grounding a person.
Essentially you now have a very cheap and practical method of grounding using a reliable and much cheaper method. Use the straps!!
Hi Karl, thanks for your post. After reading the comments between you and Eric, I am more confused now. From my little understanding of grounding, if you simply take a shower or wash your hands I thought that you would discharge the excess voltage. Wouldn't that be enough if you do it a few times a day? Also, I had a discussion on the phone with the engineer from Greenwave, who sell dirty electricity filters, and I remember him saying that the grounding in Toronto was in reverse polarity, or something to that effect. I don't understand much at all about electricity, unfortunately. I am quite confused about this whole thing of grounding, but I do feel that the key to health is related to electricity and magnetism. (I just bought a spike and a triangle and anti nano device from Tony P.) I'm sure you're a busy guy but if you have a moment to clarify this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks. Stephan.. PS: I just discovered your sub stack today. Really good stuff man. Thank you so much. I'm gonna watch all your posts. I'm also gonna create a substack for myself since I bought a microscope and I've been taking a picture of my blood which is completely fucked although I'm a health coach and I didn't take that you know what. I also pulled blood every week to see how much rubber is left over. And it's a lot!
That’s very cool, Love a good homemade rig! Thanks for sharing
