Grounding with a Earth box?

is for lightening strikes.

ANY over current from outside your home, actually.. Transformer goes nuts..because someone hit the pole.. la te da SURGE.. :-)

methods of Earthing

1. Plate Earthing. A 2.5 metre deep pit is dug into the ground and a Galvanised Iron (GI) plate is placed inside along with charcoal and sand for the purpose of maintain low resistance around the plate. ...
2. pipe Earthing. ... (not code here)
3. Rod earthing. ... (code here 8 ft rod 5/8 copper and tinned is good)
4. Earthing through a Water Pipe. ( not code here)

Still wondering about the magnets.. and being able to slide them like a tuning fork on a Speaker IC..

For earthing ground enhancement, interesting "charcoal", and sand.

I wonder if Jersey green sand, (high in potassium and certain minerals) TMI, Trace mineral Inc. For the Earth box HERE.. Charcoal?

Regards.

Scott Berry, the electronic engineer who designed it, gives a 10 page explanation of the way it works here:

If it looks like ...
And it smell like ...
It probably is ...

I don't know how someone who has an engineering degree can write that trollop, but given his expertise is in "digital", maybe he just has no clue what he is talking about.

Oh well, people will believe anything ...

If it looks like ...
And it smell like ...

LOL, I knew you'd show up and suck the fun out of it.. SHI$ is fun.. lighten up... Your like the FART that never stop smellin', BUT at least your becoming OUR BIG FART.. We'll get use to it yet. A Big ol FART.... that never stops givin' methane 101... Engineer that... Bucco!

audio2design, your somethin'

LOL you keep me in stitches with your absolute arrogance. I do admire your tenacity, to provoke any occasion you can.. You are a willful person, tempting not a discussion but an argument at EVERY opportunity..

Some people have the ability to attract a following just because of their beaming personality... Then there are "those", people just skip over when they see the name..

EXEPT for the Titan of Tinker..  (You started that one).. He's gonna end it.. I know who my money is on.. :-)

You are a maestro.. I'm learning a lot in spite of YOU.. 

NOW figure out how to make the damn thing work, simple.. of course it works. I want to know HOW to make one and not pay the BIG dollars..
Set there and call the CAD system a spoof.. You can't hear can you?
listen to folks that still can...HELP or put a cork in it..

You better start paying attention, before you get stuck in the corner, with that silly pointed hat again..

As far as I know, the ground provides protection from high voltages and provides protection to the equipment.  If you have a direct lightning strike your out of luck regardless.


Equipment ground will work without a grounding rod, like oldhvymec wrote the grounding rod is for over current from outside your home. Audiophiles that use isolated grounding rods are actually putting themselves in danger because if there is a fault in a circuit some of the over current could go to the isolated grounding rod and then the breaker won't see an overcurrent and won't trip.
