Ryan Blaser clears up the confusion between earthing and grounding. He explains why using a grounding mat in an outlet is actually doing more harm than good, and how to actually earth properly to get the most benefit.

I am an electrical engineer, ground IS connected to the earth, it is not the return line to the electric company. Neutral is the return line. If you connect to the ground you will be connected electrically to the earth, if your home’s wiring is properly installed. Ground will only carry current if something is wrong, like a fault somewhere.

@@daveWoodywhat exactly is meant by a “dirty circuit”? Can you give an example of a device that would have current leaking to ground under normal operation? Currents return on neutral and, if phases are balanced, there is actually no current on neutral (in reality there will usually be some due to L1 and L2 not being perfectly balanced). Furthermore, I’d like to know why this is even considered bad for the use case here, which is certainly still up for debate if grounding the body has any positive health effects. So much fxckery going on in this series of Paul’s videos with zero input from competent engineers.
@DrAndrewDoan9 ай бұрын
I've seen the video and I must clarify that Ryan Blaser's interpretation is incorrect. Hearing electromagnetic interference when using a grounding mat doesn't imply it's harmful. In reality, when the human body is grounded to a properly wired house grounding system, it actually offers protection. This is because grounding reduces the alternating current (AC) voltage induced by electromagnetic fields (EMF) on the body. It's important to note that all the academic research demonstrating clear clinical benefits of grounding is conducted using indoor grounding mats connected to wires. However, it's worth mentioning that grounding directly to the earth using an outdoor stake is likely the optimal method.

Ryan exposes his lack of understanding of electricity in the first minute when he says current "dumps to the ground". Electrons actually move FROM the Earth, not to it. He needs to study basic physics before parading around like an expert. The buzz being picked up by his detector is electrical noise from appliances in the house that are sharing the house wires. Grounding to an outlet is just as effective at discharging your body of electricity, but if you don't want to be exposed to any household electrical noise, then, sure, run a separate wire from your mat directly to the Earth

Grounding (or earthing) through an electrical outlet is not safe because it can expose you to the risks associated with AC current and electrical faults. The outlet's ground is connected to the home's electrical system and is not designed for personal grounding. On the other hand, grounding through a dedicated grounding rod, which is properly installed and connected to the earth, is generally safer. This method involves driving a metal rod into the ground and connecting it to a grounding system that does not involve the electrical wiring of your home. This avoids the risks of electrical shock associated with using an outlet and can provide the grounding benefits without the dangers of AC current.

Incorrect, the grounding of your home's electrical and GFIC outlets if they are indeed grounded to the ground wire along with the neutral (usually white) wire, is/are grounded by a ground rod at the "mains or circuit breaker box." Additionally, power poles which deliver to you home are grounded as well. One should confirm that "each" outlet is grounded properly with a wiring tester. Any discrepancies should be mitigated/rectified by a licensed electrician. Additionally, all electric light (on/off) switches should be grounded to the home's electrical system

The concepts of grounding (or earthing) and their health benefits involve a mix of scientific research, anecdotal evidence, and ongoing debate within the scientific community. Here's a breakdown of the scientific perspective on these practices: Earthing or Grounding Scientific Basis: The idea behind earthing is that direct physical contact with the earth's surface can help neutralize positive charges (free radicals) in the body through the transfer of electrons from the ground into the body. The earth's surface has a negative charge and is constantly generating electrons that can neutralize free radicals, potentially reducing inflammation, stress, and improve sleep. Research: There are studies that support some health benefits of earthing, including improvements in inflammation, pain reduction, improved sleep, and better blood flow. These studies suggest that earthing may have a positive impact on the body's inflammatory response and overall well-being. Criticism and Limitations: Critics argue that many of the studies on earthing are small, lack rigorous experimental controls, or may have conflicts of interest due to funding sources. There is a call for more comprehensive, high-quality research to conclusively determine the benefits and mechanisms of action. Electrical Grounding Systems and Health Dirty Electricity: The concept of "dirty electricity" refers to fluctuations and surges of electrical power that can create electromagnetic fields (EMFs) potentially harmful to human health. While some research suggests that high levels of EMF exposure may be linked to health issues like cancer, neurological diseases, and sleep disturbances, the evidence is not conclusive, and more research is needed. Building Wiring and Health Risks: Concerns about the impact of home electrical systems on health primarily focus on exposure to EMFs. The scientific consensus on the health risks posed by household EMF exposure is mixed, with some studies indicating potential risks and others finding no significant health impacts. Conclusion The practice of earthing or grounding is based on principles that have some scientific backing, particularly regarding the potential for electron transfer to reduce inflammation and improve health. However, the scientific community has not reached a consensus, and more research is needed to fully understand the benefits and mechanisms. As for the concerns about "dirty electricity" and the health impacts of grounding through electrical systems, there is awareness of potential EMF exposure risks, but again, conclusive evidence is lacking, and research continues to evolve. In summary, while there is some scientific support for the benefits of earthing, and concerns about EMF exposure are taken seriously by some researchers, the full scientific validation of these practices requires further high-quality research.
@jimstevenson4246 ай бұрын
I feel their is a benefit (personal anecdote), and I have seen studies and heard theories. Forgetting the health issue, I have never heard an RF expert on the following (I have been blasting this in KZfaq comments, because I can't get a complete answer). You would think a small industry that claims to sell healing products would get someone who really knows electrical/EMF theory to back them: There is often a debate when using ground rods and mats (not the dirty house ground issue), that your body acts like an 'RF ground', absorbing more RF than normal and shunting it to earth. I don't believe this, because at the frequencies of concern (wifi, cellular), anything conductive reacts like an antenna. Your body is already responding to the RF (oscillating the body's electrons), so why would connecting to a few feet of wire make things worse? Electrons seek ground, EM waves don't. If a practice can't hurt, people should experiment, but is the risk really neutral?

"Dirty electricity" NEVER affects a person who practices grounding (grounding while connected to the grounding pin of the outlet). AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHY the electrical voltage in your body will ALWAYS drop significantly after you ground yourself through the outlet. How else would the "dirty electricity" supposedly flowing into the body of a person who is grounded using a socket manifest itself, IF NOT IN THE WAY that it would increase the electrical voltage in his body? 🙂

Paul this guy just gave some confusion on the the definition of grounded systems and the bonding of electrical equiptment. Also I am a qualified electrician and have to clear this up. What this guy just explained in the beginning of the video is the "grounded" conductor. The grounded conductor is the neutral most commonly the white wire. I'm going to cite a few things from the national electrical code book article 250 grounding and bonding. Electrical systems that are grounded shall be connected to earth in a manner that will limit the voltage imposed by a lightning, line surges, or unintentional contact with higher voltage lines and that will stabilize the voltage to earth during normal operation. Grounding of electrical equipment means normally noncurrent carrying conductive materials enclosing electrical conductors or equipment, or forming part of such equipment, shall be connected to earth so as to limit the voltage to ground on these materials. Bonding of electrical equipment means normally noncurrent caring conductive materials enclosing electrical conductors or equipment, or forming part of such equipment, shall be connected together into the electrical supply source in a manner that establishes an effective grounding current path. The bare wire or equipment bonding jumper is it a reliable conductor to ensure the required electrical conductivity between metal parts required to be electrically connected. Basically to break this down, the neutral wire is what carries back all the unbalanced load and stabilize the voltage to earth during normal operation. And the bare wire or the bonding wire is to ensure electrical continuity and the capacity to conduct safely any fault current likely to be imposed on any of the metal parts that are likely to become energized in case of a ground fault to those parts. Now essentially the bond wires and the neutral wires are connected together before the first point of disconnect in your electrical panel. But after that those circuits are separated or at least they're supposed to be correctly to ensure that any metal parts in the system likely to become energized will take that to ground and cause the overcurrent protection device to trip and Open the circuit to kill power to that circuit. It's all about life safety folks and for electricity it's the path of least resistance which will normally always go to your grounding electrode through the bonding wire and not back up to the transformer through your neutral wire or "grounded" conductor.

Using a grounding mat or sheet plugged into the ground of an electrical outlet can be problematic because the ground wire in a home is connected to the neutral wire at the breaker box. This setup means that the grounding mat or sheet may inadvertently expose the user to electrical noise and stray currents present in the home's electrical system. The ground wire in a home can carry "dirty electricity" or electromagnetic interference (EMI) from various appliances and devices throughout the house. By connecting yourself to this ground, you may be exposing yourself to these electromagnetic fields. These currents can be absorbed by the body, potentially leading to adverse health effects rather than the intended benefits of grounding. In contrast, using a grounding mat or sheet connected directly to an isolated copper grounding rod separate from the home's electrical system can be beneficial: It provides a direct connection to the Earth's surface, allowing for a true grounding effect without interference from the home's electrical system. This method avoids potential exposure to EMI or stray currents from the household wiring. It more closely mimics the natural grounding effect of standing barefoot on the Earth, which is the basis for the purported health benefits of grounding.
