The Physics of The Battery Ground Tweak

Posted by Maxamillion (A) on December 12, 2015 at 15:44:53

OK, so everyone seems to be at a loss to explain how the BGT does what it does because there is no complete circuit formed. However, electrostatics may provide an explanation. An entity with a large excess of negative charge such as the negative plate of a capacitor is packed with excess negative charges, which repel each other. Even without a complete circuit, if the charged entity comes into contact with a neutral object then the negative charges will seek to spread out as far from each other as possible in order to minimize their repulsion; in other words the negative charges will flow into the neutral object anyway to achieve as much distance as possible between them. See the attached physics educational link for more complete explanations.

So, are we seeing a charging of the component chassis causing the audible effects of the BGT? It seems logical that a chassis ground with more available electrons packed into it's surface might result in more dynamic, punchy sound than a chassis without such extra electrons.

Thoughts?
