Methods, systems, and devices for determining and maintaining a consistent ground and ground saturation resistance
The disclosure extends to systems and devices for determining and maintaining a consistent ground and ground saturation resistance that include a device that includes a grip element and bioelectrical grounding segments, which may be disposed about the grip element on the grounding device.
1. A grounding device comprising:
an arched grip element extending along an axis; and
a plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments disposed about the arched grip element in a direction transverse to the axis, wherein the arched grip element increases contact between the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments and a person.
2. The grounding device of claim 1 , further comprising a cord connected to the grounding device.
3. The grounding device of claim 1 , further comprising a base connected to the grip element.
4. The grounding device of claim 1 , further comprising a strap connected to the grounding device.
5. The grounding device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments are equally spaced about the arched grip element.
6. The grounding device of claim 1 , wherein the each of the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments has a varying surface area with respect to each other of the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments.
7. The grounding device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical ground segments is comprised of electrically conductive material.
8. The grounding device of claim 1 , wherein the grounding device is cylindrical.
9. The grounding device of claim 1 , further comprising a base.
10. The grounding device of claim 1 , wherein a top of the grounding device is hemispherical.
11. The grounding device of claim 1 , further comprising a hinge.
12. The grounding device of claim 11 , further comprising a moisture pad.
13. The grounding device of claim 12 , further comprising one or more moisture apertures.
14. The grounding device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments has an equal surface area.
15. A system comprising:
a processor that detects a grounding reading from one or more bioelectrical grounding segments and determines which of the one or more bioelectrical grounding segments provides ground saturation; and
a grounding device comprising:
an arched grip element extending along an axis; and
a plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments disposed about the arched grip element in a direction transverse to the axis, wherein the arched grip element increases contact between the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments and a person.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor determines whether or not a moisture content of the plurality of narrowly-sized grounding segments provides ground saturation.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor determines if the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments should be excluded from the ground saturation determination.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein each of the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments includes a surface area that is different from another one of the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical grounding segments.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the grounding device grounds a person in response to contacting the person.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the processor determines whether or not each of the plurality of narrowly-sized bioelectrical ground segments is in contact with the person.
