It means that it is a replication of what a guy named "Bunk" has shown. His forum, or TY name is Bunk. Ape: I once tried to connect a single 120v grid phase line to a 50w bulb, and then the negative end of the bulb to my earth ground line. This was to see if the house meter could be fooled. And it did light the bulb, but would not light a 100w one. So, maybe try a smaller bulb. like 25 to 50w, doesn't have to be a halogen bulb.
I have also tried just using my Kacher to light normal old style bulbs, through the rest of my grenade device, and earth ground but, without the PP being on. And the bulbs lit, as well. Up to partially lighting a 100w bulb, just from the Kacher, and with yoke/grenade all normally connected, but without the power on. I have a video of that, if interested. It is something like Andrey's video, but, using the Kacher only, to power through the grenade, to power up some bulbs, instead. The screwdriver kick start, was how some of the Joule Thiefs had to be started as well.
