A floating ground for mobile devices is feasible, particularly when utilizing battery power, as the absence of a physical ground connection inherently creates a floating ground condition. The discussion highlights the integration of a floating ground with excess current channeling from current limiter circuitry, which is essential for device safety. Users have observed floating grounds in power supplies, often referred to as 'chassis ground', but in mobile applications, the ground is effectively floating due to the lack of a direct ground connection.
