That's good information. I did try the Lorrie Matchett idea with only the mains hot side and a good earth ground, was surprised to light 70 watt bulb to half power. This seems there is good chance of getting good earth return here. Closest substation is several miles and here is all country. I get your point and all should know this.
Shylo,
Will test some more today. There is nothing test worthy to post yet. But it proves TO ME that there's more to this. I can't afford the same setup as B and L also. Hitby was testing with the Kurt Oscillator on the Gerard Morin thread and got some results. I just wound (tightly) six feet of #4 awg around two car coils (no internal resistor) and connected the high side(12k) in parallel like Clarence posted in his hand drawn schematic. Added so far only 2 x 8' rods about 20 ft from a 10' ground copper pipe. Each week will add to the grid as money allows.

PS: There's no mains power to my shop.
