Part 3/9:
The primary focus was on installing grounding rods—one galvanized iron pipe and one copper pipe—both intended to improve electrical grounding over time. The experiment aimed to compare the effectiveness of grounding at different depths versus simply increasing the amount of conductive metal in the ground.
The individual explained that their hypothesis, supported by prior experiments, suggests that depth plays a more significant role than surface area in grounding efficacy. Therefore, the plan was to insert both rods into the ground to a depth of about five feet, allowing comparison of their electrical contact with the earth.
