Recently I made a video about building a DIY $10 copper grounding mat and a video on how to test and use a grounding or earthing mat.
I got a lot of questions about making and using my $10 grounding mat so I decided to do a question-and-answer video going over the most common and popular questions on how to make and use and test my $10 copper grounding mat. Sometimes a grounding mat is also called an earthing mat.

Q&A for my video on how to make grounding mat for $10

1 Why didn't I use a resistor
2 Why didn't I use a green wire for grounding
3 How would I add a resistor
4 What is the best size resistor to use
5 Why did I use the size wire that I used
6 Why didn't I make all my connections from the same metal to reduce galvanic reaction and corrosion
7 would a pipe in the ground have been better?
8 Do I think a resistor is necessary
9 Should I have reinforced the plug with nonconductive material blades to replace the metal ones that were removed
10 Could I have used an antistatic static electricity wrist strap
11 how common are grounding mat injuries?
12 Would it have been a good idea if I had added a fuse or surge protector?
13 How can I tell if my metal screen is coated and nonconductive
14 Can I use any type of metal screen or wire
15 Are all house electrical systems grounded
16 What happens if lightning strikes my house or apartment
17 Why did I need a receptacle tester when I had a voltmeter or multi-tester
18 Couldn't I have attached the wire to my plumbing
19 Could I have used an antistatic mat
20 How come when I test my own mat I don't get any readings on my multi-tester
21 Why didn't I use the screen from my screen door or window
22 . Did the mat work for me?
23 Am I an electrician?
24 Am I responsible for any problems if someone builds their own mat?
