Tested with Equipment and Shown to be Whack.
STRAIGHT SCAM, "CONCLUSIVELY" PROVEN WITH MEASURING EQUIPMENT. Stick around for the layman breakdown. Issue 1) The grounding wire is discontinuous––in 2 of the same product that we purchased from different sellers, and a 3rd, different product with an identical ground wire. (So, 3 of these identical ground wires are discontinuous/nonconductive.) Yes, I tested several other kinds of cables with the same meter and they are all continuous/conductive, as expected. 2) The mat itself has either infinite resistance or order(s) of magnitude higher than Mega Ohms. (The mat from said 3rd product shows an easily measurable resistance in the 10s of kilo Ohms.) Maybe my equipment––mental and voltmeter––is not smart enough, but to me, this says that the mat has zero conductivity, which means it simply does not serve its purpose of connecting you to anything other than itself. LAYMAN'S TERMS: Essentially, to be Earthed, you simply need something electrically conductive, like metal (wire), to be touching you and the Earth (or obvs your skin straight to the soil). The pad makes it comfortable, but for this to make any sense at all, *the pad must also be conductive, at least somewhat*, as was the case with the aforementioned 3rd product, but *not* with the product in this review. Explanation of my points above, if you care, and because I'm bored, and a little pissed that my mother was ripped off: 1) The wire is broken. It will not connect anything to anything, although it appears to be brand new and in perfect condition. In other words, this wire will not connect the mat to Earth/ground, which is the entire point of its existence. 2) The mat will not connect you to the wire than connects to Earth/ground. Basically, this product will not connect you to Earth/ground. I performed VERY basic continuity + resistance tests using a Klein multimeter. Sure, not the most precise, but precision has nothing to do with testing for continuity–the wire is either continuous, or there's a break in it, which doesn't let the desired charged particles exchange between your body and Earth. A break in the wire is the same as a break in a bridge. You cannot proceed. Obvs you + your car is the charged particle in this analogy. EVERYBODY'S GOT ONE (And why I went out of my way.) It makes me sad to see this. It seems there's a chance there could be something to Earthing/grounding, but you'll never know if you get a product like this that somehow fails at a VERY simple job–putting a piece of metal between you and the Earth. For real, the task could not be simpler. People need to maintain an open mind and not hate on something they think is new-age BS just because it sounds too good to be true, or some hippy said it, or it sounds "hippy." (Can you tell I identify with hippies? Well, I also identify with scientists.) Sometimes there is some truth to a claim (and we should all be inclined to *see for ourselves*, using actual science). Making my way to my point––crap like this can only hurt the credibility of a subject. Those poor hippies. All they want to do is spread love and joy, and the healing energy of our mother Earth. And a bunch of white collar stick-up-the-butts *automatically* discount every claim, with no actual verification on their part, yet somehow claim to be "scientists." CONCLUSION *This product could not possibly connect you to Earth/ground.* It's interesting that we have exactly the same results with the same product (identical packaging and items) purchased from 2 different Amazon sellers, and negative results on *both* the grounding wire *and* the mat itself. This makes me think a few dirty thoughts, but most importantly, ***it's a lot more likely that they're all complete BS, since we have 2 of the same defective product from different sources.***
