For One and All,

Building a Solid Copper Ground Pipe {Tube} with an Solid Iron Core.
[ Also - Water Drilling a Solid Copper Pipe for a Ground Rod. ]

Located and identify the placement of your Ground Rod.

Take a piece of Copper Pipe 8-10 Foot long.

Cut the Bottom Tip of the Copper Pipe at a 45 Degree Angle
-or- Cross-Cut the Bottom Tip about a Half Inch at 0*-180*
and 90*-270* and bend the four edges inward at an Angle
to form a Water {Cutting} Jet.

Near the Bottom about One Inch Drill a Through-and-Through
set of opposed 1/8" Holes; and then go up and Inch at 60*
and do the same; and next go up and Inch at 120* and do
the same again.

Use a common Water Hose Fitting on the Top End
of the Copper Pipe; with a Water Hose connected
to it; to Hydro-Drill the Copper Pipe into the Ground.
Turn-on-the-Water and start you Hydro-Drilling.

The Remove the common Water Hose Fitting from
the Top End of the Copper Pipe.

Note - Improving Ground Rod Conductivity :
Use a small funnel to pour a dry of wet Mixture
of : 1/2 Epsom Salt; and 1/4 Copper Sulfate and
1/4 common Iodized {Table} Salt down into the
Copper Pipe. About a Cup of two will do.
This will help the Ground Conductivity of your
Ground Rod.

* Magnesium Sulfate = Epsom Salt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsom_salt
* Copper Sulfate = Copper Sulphate = Blue Vitriol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_sulfate
* Common Iodized {Table} Salt

Take a Piece of Re-Bar (Iron Construction Bar)
Stick the piece of Re-Bar inside the Copper Pipe (Tube)
as long as the Copper Pipe.

You now have a Ground Rod made-up-of-a :
Solid Copper Ground Pipe {Tube} with a Solid Iron Core.

FWIW - Of course there is always the Ready-Made
Plated Copper-on-Iron Ground Rods that can be found
in most Hardware Stores.

hope this helps - iane ~ RHF

DaviD - "it's rodular." - Rodular ?
Do You Mean : Round Metal Rod Stock ?
-or- a Round Metal Rod Blank ?

DaviD - a pipe, Is A Pipe. IS A PIPE ! :
a Hollow Cylinder some times called a Tube.

A Solid Copper Pipe refers to :
'a' Solid {The Nature of the Material} Copper
in the form of a Pipe. The Metal is All Copper
Material.

A PVC Pipe is made of a plastic "PVC" Material.

A Copper "Clad" Metal Pipe : Would be a Pipe made

pipe are Pipe the World Around -and- anyway you
look at it the World is Round - since it is basically
a Sphere {Ball} "Globe" .

DaviD - Some people say - Pie Are Square ;-}
Then Again most people say - Cakes are Square
and Pies are Round :o)

David,
You are wrong. Suggest you check a few sources, easiest is the
dictionary and another would be the machinists handbook, or even go to
this website and see how the terminology is used within industry:

As to your flip retorts, you should keep in mind the civil nature in
which I brought this to your attention without resorting to calling
you a "tard" or PlayinG with FunnY use of CapitaliZation: DaviD not
everyone is out to get you.

If I want a copperized eight feet long iron/steel (whatever they are
made of) ground rod,there is a Home Depot store (and one or two or three
more Home Depot stores around here too) about seven tenths of a mile
from me on Robinson Road Ext where I can hop over there and buy one.Just
like the 37 year old blonde Bell South woman next door to me did.I own a
sledgehammer to pound it into the ground too.
