How DOES the grounding boxes work?

Apparently the cause for that effect is noise.

So, until we find a better one, the answer to the question "How DOES the grounding boxes work?" is that they work by raising the noise-floor level.

I don't see any evidence there either, if "audible" noise is the "theory"

Perhaps "expectation" is another possible cause.

His belief is that the box is acting as an antenna only. Are you seriously trying to tell me that that belief has been well proven for two centuries.

 

Please tell me that was a joke.

 

please re-read those posts -- he is offering a hypothesis i.e. something that is testable (like a question that can be answered), it is not a belief

 

you need to learn the difference between the two

In that case, put a lightning rod on the roof of your house and connect it with a wire to a bucket of grit or sand.  Let us know what happens after the next thunder storm.

That won't work. But cat litter as used in these things might

But do remember to move in with your neighbour just before the storm...

Just to be clear for anyone reading this thread, these comments being attributed to me in the post by Ralf11 above were created by him to look like they were from me as some kind of a joke. I would never dream of making any such idiotic comments. Hopefully he'll be gone from the site before anymore read it.

Most plausible, given that the noise floor measurements seemed to be raised from -150db to around -110db.

I need to see someone demonstrate being able to hear that before believing that was audible

I thought I hit submit reply so apologies if this is the second response.

 

As I've stated multiple times, and even specifically to you, I choose not to believe that these boxes are a scam. if they're not a scam, it seems reasonable to think that these boxes aren't simply a $2k+ antenna. That means they are either acting as an antenna as part of the process or the antenna effect has nothing to do with it. I don't know how much clearer I can make it.

 

What's your belief that the boxes are only acting as an antenna based on?

 

 

Yet your faith in the manufacturers doesn't make them more honest.
