MitkoGorgiev Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 An Italian named Davide Tanner replicated the experiment described in my original post. He uploaded a video on YouTube: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangstrom Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Both the bathtub and the washing machine serve as tiny “grounds” on their own since they can accumulate an electrical charge on their surfaces. Both can also attract or emit electrons to the air so they are “grounded” to the air to complete the circuit just enough to keep the LED lit. There may also be some leakage through the conductors. Mitko Gorgiev has demonstrated that you don’t need the ground for a “ground” and that an “open” circuit can carry a current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
