How to install a grounding rod and wire it to your bed for grounding benefits 

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.

Someone needs to download and copy this video. If I was more tech savvy, I would. Bless you for all of your hard work and research. Praying for all of the people affected by this disaster!

I use jumper cables from my nipples to the ground outlet on the wall..😎

Thank you for spreading the knowledge of grounding/earthing and the benefits people can experience. Keep spreading the great info. 😀 - Live Life Grounded!

Great video, just curious : now it is over a year, have you felt better? did you document your health before and after?

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?

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.

I've been trying sleeping in my tent outside and letting my feet out the tent door touching the earth. Been sleeping like a baby. Thanks!!

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

He said it's right up his ally. He's in his alley way. That's funny.

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.

Should’ve installed a flux capacitor near the entry point of the house. Gotta make sure the bed receives 1.21 gigs watts.

You just needed flux for before soldering Tw great vid...keep it up and have you done a follow up vid of improvements?

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 😃

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 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!

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

That same outlet you tested has a ground wire that is bonded to a ground rod already. Could have used that...

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.

Should I lay directly on the wire? Cause once I cover it with a sheet the multimeter barely picks 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.

12:17 that microphone picked those sounds up so well i thought it was in my home

I’m curious to hear about an update about health benefits (or not) you found from this!

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.

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?

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 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.

I would have to say this video is interesting informative and insightful....🙏THANK YOU 🤘

Can you just make a plug with an earth wire that connects to the earth point in the power socket?

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?

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.

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.

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.

An electric outlet is no longer needed if you do an outdoor grounding nail?

Would Buried copper 12 gauge wire into ground and adhering other end to my iron swing give me any grounding effect?

1 small problem tho What if the rod is struck by lightning 😱 while you where sleeping.

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 ?

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!

Btw please create a follow up video with said changes pl ty

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!

Just wondering why you didn’t just use your ground on the outlet beside your bed?

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.

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?

Nice video. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the video, did you get any improvments like better sleep or something with this ?

Just make sure you're not sleeping during a lighting storm that rolls thru!

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 🤔

Hi friend thanks for the informative video

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.

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!

Would love to listen to your video. Problem is it's almost inaudible. Can you do one with sound pls?

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?

What happens if lightning hits the grounding rod while you are on the bed?

If lighting strikes the cooper rod with cooper wire leading to the indoor mattress what are the chances of electrocution???

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.

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 :(

One year ago, so what happened? Did it work?

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

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. 👍

I have a big pot in my bedroom with a big tree. Can I ground with cooper rod and wire inside it???☺

Would light copper screen work ?

Ty for explaining it wasn’t pee. Was very concern 🤣

Great information 😮... thanks

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 🙏 ❤❤️💯

It's okay if it's pee, don't worry we've all done it 😂

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.

Hard romex wires over the mattress? Your wife loves you dude!

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.

Looks really comfortable 😂

So how do you feel after a year sleeping on this?

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.

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)

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

can u send parts list so I can try this

Thanks for the video. Very informative.

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

And lightning strikes light up your bed, roast your ass ..sheeeeeeet!!

That was so helpful!thank you

Why not using the grounding from your electric socket?

Great video!

Do you think it would help putting copper around my bed without connecting it to the ground?

Thank you for great info

Hi I try to plug my own ground rod (using iron rod polish with cooper 9feet) - and connect the rod using regular cable that have cooper wire (1mm). when I try to measure the voltmeter and I touch the rod its give higher volt instead of zero volt. Any advise? Is there any maximum length of the wire so it can functioned properly - I'm from Indonesia a country that did not has the ground in plug system

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.

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 😂.

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

Do you have to use the outlet? To ground.

Gteat vid 🤙🤙🤙 Check your system by not touching/holding the wire in your hand via wall outlets and put into ground vs hot Try copper flat 2"tape vs wire on bed For better comfort...

Your socket did have earthing already, so you could have put a copper wire directly in the socket. It doesn't work that way?

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. 🙂

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.

Hello, thanks for the video. I will post a similar video soon, if you can take a look at and give any advice. I put a 6 foot rod into the ground, ran the wire to a yoga Mat I covered in aluminum and 100% pure copper tape. Which I have been sleeping in for 5 days now. When I use the red tester from my multimeter to the wire coming in from outside attached to the ground, I get a fluctuation of AC volts, it ranges. where I connected the main connection to the yoga mat, it reads 0.900 to 1.900. When I lay or place a hand on the mat, it Drops to almost zero. Many videos I've have watched saying there should be no voltage coming from the ground rod or wire attached . I have voltage, and many other videos I watched have the same. Can you give an update if your lead wire has any voltage from your grounding rod?? . Thank you for the video

Someone should measure sleep quiality before and after the grounding.

Great vid thank you 😊

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.

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.

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 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 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 ...
