I guess they can just use a bigger bucket on sites where the earth is a bit poor.

Or dampen the soil a bit.

 

[ProDave]

definitely a case of a little knowledge.....

:slap

that really did have me going, as ProDave says, some people know just enough to kill themselves.

 

[roys]

Thought it would appeal to you Steps

:slap that really did have me going, as ProDave says, some people know just enough to kill themselves.

Just needs that joint between the rod and the earth wire cleaning up I think!

Anyway..

can't you all see the bucket of soil is at earth potential cuz the rod is leaning against that bit of extraneous metal railing...

:C :|

 

[ProDave]

No I take it back, that will be a lousy earth.

The "soil" is just too stony.

Looks like one of Slidegrinder's wind ups to me :|

At least theres a cone to save you tripping over it .

 

[OnOff]

Surely, putting a handle on the bucket makes it easier to "export" the earth?

this has got to be a joke...

On the old (>7 yrs ago) TLC catalogues, they used to do "joke" products - universal fuses- "cut to size" (looked like a bright nail), electric hammers (std. 16oz claw hammer, with a bit of flex coming out the hole in the bottom to a plugtop; and a "portable earthing kit", which was a flower pot, a miniature rod and a bit of g/y cable (Mrs. KME just refreshed my memory of this)

 

[steptoe]

they probably had to stop due to the amount of returns they were getting from some partP qualified people. :slap

 

[kme]

iirc, it was before part p came in............

One major international company in Swansea had their chief technical engineer in one day, asking if they could get 1000 of the electric hammers, in company colours :slap

 

[ProDave]

The electric hammer is almost as good as a long weight.
