Every year lightning strikes cause a lot of damage — with the high-voltage discharges being a major risk to buildings, ...

kind of like little lightning rods. The electricity travels through the static wicks, across the isolated grounding system, and back out the other end into the air, where it can safely dissipate ...

Lightning diverters, thin metallic strips incorporated onto the surface of the radome, act as little lightning rods to prevent ... protects the lights by grounding them to the rest of the airplane.

A conductive ground wire more than 300 meters (984 ft) long, with a high-voltage switch at the bottom. A set of spiky antenna-like lightning rods poking out the top, presumably designed to ...

Traditional lightning rods offer important protection ... It’s connected to the ground by a 300-meter conductive wire, which plays the role of safe conductor. The system uses ground-based ...
