Thanks for your reply.

So, you have 120.4V between your earth ground array and your mains grid neutral! That would suggest to me that what you take as a grid neutral connection is in fact live - a phase! Your grid neutral to earth ground voltage measurement should be very low.

I second that, The voltage between the neutral and the ground should be very low as the neutral is connected to ground at the
fuse box as far as I can tell. It is like that so that the neutral line is held at or near ground potential. If you measure 120 volts
between the neutral and ground you either have a serious problem with the way the house is wired or you are actually
measuring the phase/active to ground.

Usually a portable inverter is an isolated supply and there is no neutral as neither conductor is connected to the ground itself.
Which makes them dangerous to experiment with without an inline RCD.

With an inline RCD any mismatch of current between the two power wires will trip the RCD.

The RCD can detect if current is diverted from the main current loop through the ground which is what can fool the meters.

If I remove the GFI/RCD from the house I could probably steal power that way, by confusing the meter with no reuturn current.

..

Ultimately all that matters is.  Can the system be replicated ? Is there an accurate schematic ?

If a well drawn and accurate schematic is made, then many people should be able to see how it works or what the oversight is.

If a well drawn schematic is made and it can be replicated all will sing the praises to the maker of the drawing.

If it works why not draw it and videotape it thoroughly while working for the benefit of mankind ?

Hi Clarence, Do the rods have to be 8' long, and is 3' the final verdict?
Can you or did you measure each individual rod voltage as you placed them?
They must put something out.
Not sure if it's Stubblefield, or Cook that i wired, but I stuck it in the ground and it gives a third of a volt.
It was the steel core with iron , cotton layer, copper.

Come on guy's.
Go back and look at the schematic on post 1077-->have a good look at it.Do you not know what you are looking at???.

The so called captor transformer setup is a nothing system.
The rest of the system is a loop loss system,where the ground rods are acting like a resistor. Do you not understand as to why Clarence is getting a higher voltage the more ground rods he add's to the system-->he is reducing the resistance on the neutral side of the system.

You know the answer to that as well as i do FarmHand.

I have removed the captor loop transformer from the circuit,so as you can see a little more clearly what you have. As you can see,the ground rods are nothing more than a resistor on the neutral side. The more ground rods you add,the more you decrease the resistance-the more power avaliable to complete the loop.
