Anybody know how to build an ebtech hum x?

I never used or opened one,
but found this info:

"The Hum-X is nothing more than a pair of high-power diodes between the ground pin of the plug and the socket, AFAICT. No current flows until you get to about 700mV, which is plenty of compliance to break most ground loops. If you ever do have a ground fault, the power diodes should carry enough current to trip the breaker.

The circuit might be simple, but Ebtech's packaging is small and convenient. For me it was worth spending the money. I use the Hum-X to break the ground loop that I get running two amps at once

Might not be exact, but pretty much
